Yii2: How to detect if data comes from keyboard or barcode scanner

Question

I have a very simple Yii2 input field where I will enter data from a keyboard or from a barcode scanner.

I need to know how to detect if the device used is the keyboard or the barcode scanner.

Maybe I will use a jQuery plugin that can detect it.

with javascript, You can use a "onkeyup" event on the input box. If the event has triggered then you can consider as input from keyboard
