QR scanning using raspberryPi camera nodeJS

I am creating a nodeJS application that can be used to scan QR code on the raspberry Pi3 board. I am able to successfully use a USB camera and scan the QR code using the Instascan node module. However, when I try to use the Raspberry pi Camera, the Insta scan is not able to find it and not able to show the camera. I have found many such options using python and OpenCV, however not with node js or electron. Can someone help with this?

Finally this is resolved. Actually by default rpi camera is not shown in /dev/video list so I had to enable V4L2 driver by 

modprobe bcm2835-v4l2

This made CSI camera list in /dev/video list and application started detecting RPI camera.

Thanks everyone
