Installation

Swift Package Manager

Swift Package Manager is built into the Swift toolchain and is our preferred way of integrating the SDK.

For Swift package projects, simply add the following line to your Package.swift file in the dependencies section:

dependencies: [
  .package(url: "https://github.com/spothero/BarcodeHero-iOS", .upToNextMajor(from: "<version>")),
]

For app projects, simply follow the Apple documentation on adding package dependencies to your app.

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects.

We no longer support CocoaPods for versions later then 0.5.0.

Usage

You can easily generate a barcode by doing the following:

let image = try BHBarcodeGenerator.generate(.qr, withData: "Example")

There are also extensions for resizing the barcode to a CGSize or UIImageView without aliasing or blur:

try image.resizeTo(barcodeImageView)
try image.resizeTo(CGSize(width: 100, height: 20), forContentMode: .scaleAspectFit)
