title: Barcode Generation
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Barcode Generation
|
|
|
|
Both [report](./report.md) and [label](./labels.md) templates can render custom barcode data to in-line images.
|
|
|
|
!!! info "img"
|
|
Barcode data must be rendered inside an `<img>` tag.
|
|
|
|
Inside the template file (whether it be for printing a label or generating a custom report), the following code will need to be included at the top of the template file:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
{% raw %}
|
|
<!-- Load the barcode helper functions -->
|
|
{% load barcode %}
|
|
{% endraw %}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### 1D Barcode
|
|
|
|
!!! info "python-barcode"
|
|
One dimensional barcodes (e.g. Code128) are generated using the [python-barcode](https://pypi.org/project/python-barcode/) library.
|
|
|
|
To render a 1D barcode, use the `barcode` template tag, as shown in the example below:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
{% raw %}
|
|
|
|
<!-- Don't forget to load the barcode helper! -->
|
|
{% load barcode %}
|
|
|
|
<img class='custom_class' src='{% barcode "12345678" %}'>
|
|
|
|
{% endraw %}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The default barcode renderer will generate a barcode using [Code128](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_128) rendering. However [other barcode formats](https://python-barcode.readthedocs.io/en/stable/supported-formats.html) are also supported:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
{% raw %}
|
|
|
|
{% load barcode %}
|
|
|
|
<img class='custom_class' src='{% barcode "12345678" barcode_class="Code39" %}>
|
|
{% endraw %}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also pass further [python-barcode](https://python-barcode.readthedocs.io/en/stable/writers.html#common-writer-options) supported parameters as well:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
{% raw %}
|
|
|
|
{% load barcode %}
|
|
|
|
<img class='barcode' src='{% barcode part.IPN barcode_class="Code128" write_text=0 background="red" %}'>
|
|
{% endraw %}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### QR-Code
|
|
|
|
!!! info "qrcode"
|
|
Two dimensional QR codes are generated using the [qrcode](https://pypi.org/project/qrcode/) library.
|
|
|
|
To render a QR code, use the `qrcode` template tag:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
{% raw %}
|
|
|
|
{% load barcode %}
|
|
|
|
<img class='custom_qr_class' src='{% qrcode "Hello world!" %}'>
|
|
{% endraw %}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Additional parameters can be passed to the `qrcode` function for rendering:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
{% raw %}
|
|
<img class='custom_qr_class' src='{% qrcode "Hello world!" fill_color="green" back_color="blue" %}'>
|
|
{% endraw %}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
!!! tip "Documentation"
|
|
Refer to the [qrcode library documentation](https://pypi.org/project/qrcode/) for more information
