Package Exports
- dwt
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (dwt) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme

Cross-platform JavaScript library for web document scanning.
Overview
Dynamic Web TWAIN is a TWAIN-based scanning SDK software specifically designed for web applications. With just a few lines of code, you can develop robust applications to scan documents from TWAIN-compatible scanners, edit the scanned images and save them to a local/server file system or document repository.
Installation
npm install dwtFeatures
- TWAIN specification 2.1 and below compatible (ActiveX, HTML5 for Windows, Plugin APIs).
- TWAIN specification 1.9 and below compatible (HTML5 for Mac API).
- Optional disk caching mechanism enables high volume document scanning (up to thousands of pages).
- Supports Auto Document Feeder (ADF) and multiple image acquisition.
- Supports duplex scanning mode.
- Supports image preview mode.
- Supports blank page detection.
- Built-in wizard mode intelligently manages TWAIN states.
- Supports setting up image acquisition parameters (resolution, pixel type, bit depth, brightness, contrast, page size, unit, etc).
- Supports both Native and Disk File Image transfer modes. ActiveX, Plugin and HTML5 for Windows APIs also support Buffered Memory transfer mode.

Quick Start
Include dynamsoft.webtwain.min.js into your page:
<script type="text/javascript" src="node_modules/dwt/dist/dynamsoft.webtwain.min.js"></script>Select a source and scan documents:
<select size="1" id="source" style="position: relative; width: 220px;"></select>
<input type="button" value="Scan" onclick="AcquireImage();" />
<!-- dwtcontrolContainer is the default div id for Dynamic Web TWAIN control.
If you need to rename the id, you should also change the id in the dynamsoft.webtwain.config.js accordingly. -->
<div id="dwtcontrolContainer"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
Dynamsoft.WebTwainEnv.RegisterEvent('OnWebTwainReady', Dynamsoft_OnReady); // Register OnWebTwainReady event. This event fires as soon as Dynamic Web TWAIN is initialized and ready to be used
var DWObject;
function Dynamsoft_OnReady() {
DWObject = Dynamsoft.WebTwainEnv.GetWebTwain('dwtcontrolContainer'); // Get the Dynamic Web TWAIN object that is embeded in the div with id 'dwtcontrolContainer'
if (DWObject) {
if (window.navigator.platform.indexOf("Linux") !== -1) {
DWObject.ImageCaptureDriverType = 3;
}
var count = DWObject.SourceCount;
for (var i = 0; i < count; i++)
document.getElementById("source").options.add(new Option(DWObject.GetSourceNameItems(i), i)); // Get Data Source names from Data Source Manager and put them in a drop-down box
}
}
function AcquireImage() {
if (DWObject) {
var OnAcquireImageSuccess, OnAcquireImageFailure;
OnAcquireImageSuccess = OnAcquireImageFailure = function (){
DWObject.CloseSource();
};
DWObject.SelectSourceByIndex(document.getElementById("source").selectedIndex); //Use method SelectSourceByIndex to avoid the 'Select Source' dialog
DWObject.OpenSource();
DWObject.IfDisableSourceAfterAcquire = true; // Scanner source will be disabled/closed automatically after the scan.
DWObject.AcquireImage(OnAcquireImageSuccess, OnAcquireImageFailure);
}
}
