I'm deciding between Ionic and RN for a passion project, and one of the central features is QR code scanning. Does Ionic have good APIs for camera functionality, and hardware in general?

Both React Native and Ionic should have most of the same APIs available. As far as a QR scanner, it looks like there is one for Ionic via Cordova here

Haha, the intro article mentions that people are understandably frustrated with Cordova, so I'm hesitant to jump into it. In the end I think my app is native-first, and I'm comfortable patching react-native-web later on if it becomes necessary.
