Installation

You can install this package with the Composer CLI:

composer require tklovett/barcodes

Or manually add the dependency to your project's composer.json:

"require": {
    "tklovett/barcodes": "dev-master"
}

And tell composer to install it:

composer install

Usage

First instantiate a BarcodeGenerator factory:

$generator = new BarcodeGenerator();

Then tell it to generate the barcode type of your choice for your code:

$barcode = generator.generate(BarcodeType::QR_CODE, "This is what I want encoded");

Finally, output SVG, HTML, or a PNG:

$svg  = $barcode.toSVG();
$html = $barcode.toHTML();
$png  = $barcode.toPNG();

Need a custom height, width, or color for your barcode? No problem:

$width = 20;
$height = 30;
$color = 'blue';
$sizedSVG  = $barcode.toSVG($width, $height, $color);
$sizedHTML = $barcode.toSVG($width, $height, $color);
$sizedPNG  = $barcode.toSVG($width, $height, $color);

TODO:

• Convert snake_case method names to camelCase
• Replace returns from barcode constructors with exception throws
• Write tests
• Write docs
• parent::__construct($code); in all barcodes
• remove unused methods
