Mobile Document Scanner JavaScript Edition Release Notes

1.4.0 (24/11/2025)

Features

Breaking changes

  • Rename document-scanner.ui.html to document-scanner.ui.xml to better reflect its purpose as a declarative UI configuration template.
    • This affects self hosting users only - you must update the path in the scannerViewConfig.cameraEnhancerUIPath property accordingly and rebuild the library.

Scanning Capabilities

  • Select the clearest of multiple video frames on scan with enableFrameVerification (default true).
  • Add continuous scanning mode to make multiple scans on a single launch(), enabled by enableContinuousScanning (default false).
    • Add onDocumentScanned handler to get single scan results in continuous scanning mode.
    • Add a thumbnail scan preview in the scanner view for continuous scanning mode with an optional onThumbnailClicked click handler.
    • Add stopContinuousScanning to programmatically stop the scanning loop.
  • Add enableBoundsDetectionMode to set default bounds detection mode

UI/UX Improvements

  • Remove the animated shutter spinner.

Samples

  • Add sample demonstrating minimal code to integrate MDS with Dynamsoft Document Scanner (DDV) to scan to PDF with continuous scanning.
  • Add minimal MDS-only continuous scanning sample.

Fixes

  • Fix “Torch not supported” message appearing unecessarily.
  • Update framework sample dependencies to resolve security vulnerabilities.
  • Remove memory leak caused by logging results to console.

Documentation

  • Add guides to using continuous scan mode and integrating with DDV.
  • Add full tsdoc annotation coverage for all MDS APIs to bring API references to IDEs and allow content extraction with compatible development tools.

Dependencies

1.3.1 (04/09/2025)

Features

  • Upgrade to version 3.0.6001 of Dynamsoft Capture Vision JS (from version 2.6.1000).
    • This upgrade improves document detection effectiveness, especially for white documents on white backgrounds.
    • Simplify build and bundling approach.
  • Improve TypeScript configuration and module resolution.
  • Add ready-made samples for Angular, React, and Vue.

Fixes

  • Set boundsDetectionEnabled to true to make code clearer, since its value already overridden to true when instantiating the MDS object.
  • Change the type of DocumentResult.correctedImageResult from DeskewedImageResultItem | DSImageData to DeskewedImageResultItem to fix a TypeScript error when calling methods like toCanvas().
  • Create the dds.esm.d.ts declaration file to fix ESM import/export issues.

Dependencies

Documentation

  • Add tsdoc annotations to bring API references to IDEs and allow content extraction with compatible development tools.
  • Add developer guides for JavaScript Framework samples.

1.2.0 (30/04/2025)

Features

  • DocumentScanner configuration options
    • ScannerViewConfig
      • enableAutoCropMode?: boolean; // False by default
      • enableSmartCaptureMode?: boolean; // False by default
      • showSubfooter: Toggle showing the sub-footer container that allows users to toggle scan modes (Detect border, Smart capture, Auto crop). true by default
      • showPoweredByDynamsoft: Toggle showing Powered by Dynamsoft message on the scanner view. true by default
      • minVerifiedFramesForAutoCapture: Change the minimum verified frames to auto capture the document. 2 frames are needed by default. Lower this number to make the capture faster (this could have an effect on accuracy/quality of image scanned).
      • scanRegion: allows users to set a scan region while scanning a document
export interface ScanRegion {
  ratio: {
    width: number;
    height: number;
  }; // Ratio of the scan region
  regionBottomMargin: number; // Bottom margin calculated in pixel. This will "push" the scan region upwards
  style: {
    strokeWidth: number; // width of the scan region border
    strokeColor: string; // color of the scan region border
  };
}
  • Added Re-take button in Correction View. this will allow users to retake/rescan the document through the correction view.
  • Provide landscape support for the Document Scanner View (implemented indocument-scanner.ui.html)
  • Template optimization: Updated scaleDownThreshold to 1000
  • Allow launch() with a static image. A sample is provided under sample/scenarios/use-file-input.html
  • Set the default resolution when opening camera to 2K resolution

Fixes

  • Enable OutputOriginalImage on the template by default. Before, it required us to enable it manually if we use a custom template.
  • Set engineResourcePaths before initLicense to prevent a bug when a user implements a custom engineResourcePath.
  • Update trial license banner link to lead to https://www.dynamsoft.com/customer/license/trialLicense?product=mwc&deploymenttype=web
