Hi Scott,

Yes, if you get them from database. Their values ​​will be directly saved to a component, bypassing the local storage.

What exactly are you trying to do? I think we covered all possible cases. You can save the data into local storage to be available for later, and you can also display the data from scan into a page. What are we missing?

The scan itself will not get you product information. The scan resolves what you scan into some value, for example URL or some product Id. You then use that value to do anything you need such as searching the database, etc.

When you say 'some product id', couldn't that be the SKU? could the result(SKU) then be linked to another screen that contains the product info? Such as this sequence ?

It can be anything.. it depends what you scan. The scanner doesn't do anything but scans a code and returns its value. You as app developer then need to take the value and do something with it.
