QR Code Scanner

[m-triassi]

Description

It would be helpful to have a front end component that can interact with a smartphone camera and scan data from a QR code.
This QR code would contain the ID of a User as well as the ID of an event that would be sent via some endpoint to the back-end where it would confirm the users attendance.

Possible Implementation

Might be simplified by using a external package?
There should be some interface for admins to use that allows them to access such a component

Out of scope

N/A

Requirements / Restrictions

Should be entirely integrated into the site, rather than some external service / app
