LABELLA

is a labello done right.
No idea what a labello is?
Good.

What is it

It is a templating and printing application for Zebra/EPL printers + anything you want to add to this project.
You want to create a modificable image?: Just use '${name}' inside the svg file.
You want to generate a qr code?: use qrCode attribute on image node in svg file.
But images speak better:

LABELLO PRINT PRINTED

Just tinker with it and as things, so I can add to FAQ.

Features and quirks

Jinjava (jinja) under the mask

You a python developer?
Not knowing how to code with class?
Just hack your way with writing tons of jinja markup in your svgs.

Very important that all template inputs are just "{{nameOfVariable}}" inside the svg.
Download one to see it with your own eyes.

Many SVGs in one SVG

If you edit your svg file to look like:

<svgs>
    <svg>...</svg>
    <svg>...</svg>
<svgs>

then all svgs inside the <svgs> will be printed separately. Great feature to wasting tons of paper by one template.

Size extraction from your svg

It will extract size to print from your xs and ys of svg file. See SvgSizeExtractorImpl.kt for reference.

SVGFlavors and qrCode generation

See QRCodeFlavor.kt. In short adding qrCode attribute to your <image> will convert it to qrCode. It is very naive implementation and it will generate very poor quality qrCode. TODO: Try to change it to svg generator.

RUNNING

See backend readme for referenced sections...

Use the docker from the root catalog, see Quickstart how to run it...
You can also run it without the docker, then use just ./gettobuild and follow Production section.
