Barcode Generator – ReDux

Barcode generator makes generating/displaying barcodes in any format like, PNG,JPEG,JPG etc.. for any alphanumeric id, a piece of cake.

It uses Gbarcode for encoding barcode data and then Rmagick to generate images out of it for displaying in views.

This way we can generate any barcode type which Gbarcode -> Gnome Barcode project supports.

USAGE

its as simple as saying

<= barcode ‘FJJ4JD’>

This will generate a barcode for FJJ4JD in BARCODE_39 format with default width and height and include it in the view. the images are stored in /public/images/barcodes subdir.

Installation

install from svn :

script/plugin install http://barcode-generator.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/barcode_generator

make sure that you install gems for rmagick and gbarcode first!!! and then run the rake task : rake barcode_setup
