Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getScreenshot' of null at BarcodeScannerComponent.js:8

[rickwh77]

I am having an issue with getting this error when using a ternary operator to hide the barcode scanner.

      {showBarcodeReader ?
    <div>
      <BarcodeScannerComponent
        width={500}
        height={500}
        onUpdate={(err, result) => {
          if (result) setData(result.text)
          else setData('Not Found')
        }}
      />
      <p>{data}</p>
      <div>
        <Button
          variant="contained"
          size="large"
          color="primary"
          className={classes.button}
          onClick={handleBarcodeReaderCancel}
        >
          Cancel
        </Button>
      </div>
    </div>
    : null}

Looks like the interval isn't cleaned up from useEffect and so capture gets called after teardown... and when it's called, the ref.current is null.

The current master uses optional chaining and so you shouldn't get the error but it still needs cleanup.

Here is a commit where I do it on my fork:
