Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

npm package dependency status

io-barcode is a simple way to create different types of barcodes on server or client.

This started as a fork of the Johan Lindell's JsBarcode project. It adds the following functionality:

  1. Isomorphic barcode generation on client and server.
  2. Node support through node-canvas.
  3. Packaged with UMD support on client side.
  4. Modular design.
  5. Returns a canvas element.
  6. Removed direct jQuery integration.
  7. Custom label support (Instead of the encoded data string).

Demo and examples

Barcode Generator

Samples

Supported barcodes

  • CODE128 (B or C)
  • EAN (13)
  • UPC-A
  • CODE39
  • ITF (Interleaved 2 of 5)
  • ITF14
  • Pharmacode

Installation

With npm:

npm install io-barcode

If you are not using Node, browserify, webpack or similar npm-based systems, download the minified UMD bundle for browsers only.

Usage

ioBarcode.TYPE(code, opts)

Create a new barcode. Returns a canvas element.

  • TYPE - the type of barcode, can be:
    • CODE128B
    • CODE128C
    • EAN
    • UPC
    • CODE39
    • ITF
    • ITF14
    • Pharmacode
  • code - the string to encode
  • opts - additional formatting, default options are:
{
  width:  2,
  height: 100,
  quite: 10,
  displayValue: false, // Will display the encoded data as a label, or 'customLabel' if not null
  font: 'monospace',
  textAlign: 'center',
  fontSize: 12,
  fontWeight: 'bold',
  backgroundColor: '',
  lineColor: "#000",
  customLabel:null, // Will be displayed if displayValue is set to true
}

Example on server side:

  var fs = require('fs')
  var ioBarcode = require("io-barcode")
  var canvas = ioBarcode.CODE128B('Javascript is fun!', {
    width: 1,
    height: 25
  })
  var stream = canvas.pngStream()
  stream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('./barcode.png'))

Example on the client side:

  // If using a require system like browserify or webpack just require it
  var ioBarcode = require("io-barcode")
  // If using UMD bundle via a <script> tag, ioBarcode is exposed as a global
  var canvas = ioBarcode.CODE128B('Javascript is fun!', {
    width: 1,
    height: 25
  })

  // Render the canvas directly
  document.body.appendChild(canvas)

  // Or in an image tag
  var img = new Image()
  img.src = canvas.toDataURL('image/png')
  document.body.appendChild(img)
