You can use some third party libraries to achieve cross platform bar code scanning using camera.

  • Zbar - it is free and you can use it with cordova also.
  • RedLaser mainly used for enterprise apps and it is not free.

If you dont want to use above libraries you need to create a cordova plugin to capture the image and read the barcode from image which you captured. for more into link
