This package includes a Barcode generator written in PHP for encoding and rendering most common barcode formats to multiple image output formats.

Features

• Supports most common barcode formats (Code128, EAN, UPC, …)
• Can render to SVG, PNG, JPG or WEBP using GD
• Images (PNG/JPG/WEBP) may be configured to scale up to any size
• Supports common customization requirements (size, color, text display, font size, background color, font for image rendering, or format-specific options such as guard bars or quiet zones)

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require antwerpes/barcodes-1d

Usage

Use the Barcodes factory class to create an encoder and render its output to SVG or a base64-encoded image:

use Antwerpes\Barcodes\Barcodes;
use Antwerpes\Barcodes\Enumerators\Format;

// SVG
$svg = Barcodes::create('12345678', Format::CODE_128);
file_put_contents('img.svg', $svg);

// Or as an image
$image = Barcodes::create('12345678', Format::CODE_128, 'png');
file_put_contents('img.png', base64_decode($image));

// Example for scaled up (4x) WEBP
$image = Barcodes::create('12345678', Format::CODE_128, 'webp', [
    'image_scale' => 4,
]);
file_put_contents('img.webp', base64_decode($image));

Examples

Code 128

Barcodes::create('A12345', Format::CODE_128);

EAN-13

Barcodes::create('5901234123457', Format::EAN_13);
Barcodes::create('5901234123457', Format::EAN_13, 'svg', ['flat' => true]);
Barcodes::create('5901234123457', Format::EAN_13, 'svg', ['with_quiet_zone' => true]);

EAN-2 / EAN-5 / EAN-8

Barcodes::create('53', Format::EAN_2);
Barcodes::create('52495', Format::EAN_5);
Barcodes::create('96385074', Format::EAN_8);

UPC-A / UPC-E

Barcodes::create('123456789999', Format::UPC_A);
Barcodes::create('01245714', Format::UPC_E);
// These also work and will produce the same result
Barcodes::create('124571', Format::UPC_E);
Barcodes::create('01210000457', Format::UPC_E);
Barcodes::create('012100004574', Format::UPC_E);

Codabar

Barcodes::create('A12345B', Format::CODABAR);

Code 11

Barcodes::create('01234-5678', Format::CODE_11);
