BarcodeGenerator

Barcode Generator is a cordova plugin that allows generation of barcodes like QRCODE, CODE128 etc.

About

This project is a fork of the original project from Attendee which I would like to thank for his work, it saved me a lot of time.

The Android part of this plugin has been partially rewritten to enhences features and correct some bugs of the original project.

A minimal browser version has been added and supports generation of QRCodes thanks to the qrcodejs library developped by davidshimjs:

https://davidshimjs.github.io/qrcodejs/

Android part is using google zxing library.

Supported Platforms

• Android Version >= 4.0
• HTML5 browsers
• iOS Version >= 8.0 (Not tested)

By now the iOS part has not been modified nor tested.

Installation

First download the last stable version (or master tree) from git in a folder called 'cordova-plugins':

cd cordova-plugins
git clone https://github.com/fefc/cordova-plugin-barcodegenerator.git

Now go to your cordova project folder and install the plugin as follows:

cordova plugin add ../path-to-folder/cordova-plugins/cordova-plugin-barcodegenerator

If you are using ionic framework:

Done!

Usage

Cordova

Following code is issued from the original fork, untested

in *.js that you want to use this.
var success = function(message) { alert(message); };
var error = function(message) { alert("Oopsie! " + message); };
var barcode = cordova.require("com.attendee.barcodegenerator.BarcodeGenerator");
barcode.generate(success,error,"12345");
The plugin will return base64 string of barcode image for using in cordova.

Ionic 3

If you are using Ionic 3 you can access the plugin from your typescript code by adding the following line after your imports:

declare var BarcodeGenerator: any;

You can now use the BarcodeGenerator module in your code like:

BarcodeGenerator.generate({
                            content: 'my barcode content',
                            height: 512,
                            width: 512,
                            format: 11, //Set Features for desired format
                            foregroundColor: '#000000',
                            backgroundColor: '#FFFFFF'
                          },
                          function(base64barcode) {
                            console.log("Success!");
                          },
                          function(error) {
                            console.log("Error");
                          });
