Barcode Bakery ·

Barcode Bakery is an umbrella of many barcode symbologies. We have been implementing the barcode specifications for decades and we are confident in our generated barcodes.

The TypeScript library includes:

• React: An easy tag can be included anywhere in a React application to generate any type of barcodes on the client without a roundtrip to the server.
• NodeJS: Generating barcodes on the server side and serving them as stream or saving them as images using a canvas library.

We support multiple types of symbologies:

• 1D
  • Codabar
  • Code 11
  • Code 39
  • Code 39 Extended
  • Code 93
  • Code 128
  • EAN-8
  • EAN-13
  • Interleaved 2 of 5
  • ISBN
  • MSI Plessey
  • Other Code
  • Standard 2 of 5
  • UPC-A
  • UPC-E
  • UPC-E Extension 2
  • UPC-E Extension 5
• Aztec
• Databar Expanded
• DataMatrix
• MaxiCode
• PDF417
• QRCode

We also offer other programming languages such as PHP and .NET.

Learn more about it on our website.

Installation

We are currently using a monorepo to handle all the packages. They are all pushed to NPM. Navigate to the correct code above or click on the language you would like to use to continue:

• React
• NodeJS

Documentation

You can find an extensive documentation on the website.

Check out the Developer's Guide page for a quick overview.

Examples

We have several examples on the website. Here is the first one to get you started:

React

import { BakeryCode128 } from '@barcode-bakery/barcode-react/1d';

export default function Home() {
  return <BakeryCode128 text="a123" thickness={30} scale={1} />;
}

This example will display the barcode Code 128 on the page.

NodeJS

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);

This example will save the barcode Code 128 in a file.
