Barcoder

Simple CLI barcode generation tool.

Installation

  • brew install goodpals/goodpals/barcoder

Usage

barcoder 1234 will generate a normal 128 barcode. barcoder -t qr 1234 for a QR.

Why?

  • Alex needed it for something at work
  • Cal and Alex are doing an art thing with QR codes and this makes iteration faster
  • CLIs are convenient

Current issues

  • Some barcode scanners don't work with light barcodes on dark backgrounds (looking at you, Dynamsoft), so you'll want a light terminal theme in those cases. There is the invert flag (-i) but it doesn't always work with Dynamsoft either.
  • Works best when you have a font that respects the vertical spacing of block characters. Inconsolata is nice. It isn't totally necessary, most scanners seem to still work without this but it looks nicer.
