Example

1D Barcode

import { BCGDrawing, createSurface, save } from '@barcode-bakery/barcode-nodejs';
import { BCGcode128 } from '@barcode-bakery/barcode-nodejs/1d';

const code = new BCGcode128();
code.setThickness(30);
code.parse('a123');

const drawing = new BCGDrawing(createSurface);
drawing.draw(code);

save(drawing, 'image.png', BCGDrawing.ImageFormat.Png);

Aztec

import { BCGDrawing, BCGLabel, createSurface, save } from '@barcode-bakery/barcode-nodejs';
import { BCGaztec } from '@barcode-bakery/barcode-nodejs/aztec';

const text = 'Aztec';

// Label, this part is optional
const label = new BCGLabel();
label.setFont(font);
label.setPosition(BCGLabel.Position.Bottom);
label.setAlignment(BCGLabel.Alignment.Center);
label.setText(text);

const code = new BCGaztec();

createServer(function (request, response) {
  toBuffer(drawing, BCGDrawing.ImageFormat.Png, function (err: Error | null, buffer: Buffer) {
    // Do something with the buffer. Here we send it to a response.
    response.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'image/png' });
    response.end(buffer);
  });
}).listen(8124);
