Hi, Everyone, I want to build an inventory management project using Django. I wonder how can integrate barcode scanners(like this ).  
It will be a simple inventory project, You added products to DB. While the user scanned with barcode scanner, the product added to the basket, bill printed and ok.  
I don’t know the barcode scanning part of this project Is there anyone make this kind of projects?

A lot of barcode scanners appear as USB keyboards so you don’t need any special setup to handle them. You need to have an interface that can handle keyboard input, but likely don’t need special handling.

You may consider using a jQuery plugin like [jQuery Scanner Detection](https://github.com/iuyes/jQuery-Scanner-Detection) for your barcode scanner to work.
