I would like to read/decode pdf417 barcode from my web app targeted to run only on mobile browsers. I have seen many barcode reader javascript libs online but none of them supporting reading of pdf417 barcode(one of the most popular barcode type) off-course creation of pdf417 was supported by them.
What I am looking for is a javascript based library to read/decode pdf417 barcode, I know how to achieve this with phonegap or native. I am expecting purely js based solution

Reset to default 3We created a library to do just that, https://github./PeculiarVentures/js-zxing-pdf417, unlike the Android-only solution above this is pure Javascript and will work in all browsers.
You might want to have a look at STRICH. It's JavaScript backed by WebAssembly and supports PDF417.

If you're mainly interested in Android, take a look at this fork of the popular barcodescanner plugin, it supports PDF417: https://github./Telerik-Verified-Plugins/BarcodeScanner
