Expand Barcode Support #2044

Open SteveIreland opened 6 years ago

SteveIreland commented 6 years ago

I was doing some testing with the barcode generator and I noticed that it didn't support UPC-A formatted barcodes. I then checked the emberlabs Github project and found the project is as dead as it can be.

Should we flip over to their suggested replacement which is https://github.com/picqer/php-barcode-generator ?

Or maybe we simply integrate the "based on" project?

https://github.com/tecnickcom/tcpdf

The advantageto that is that we pick up the ability to dynamically generate PDF documents.

I haven't check any licensing conflicts yet.

The first lib you suggested looks good, it also supports EAN and many others. It's probably worth changing the current code for that one.

@SteveIreland go ahead if you feel up to it. They do seem to have composer support (which is not the case for the old initial class files), that might be cleaner separating our code from a 3rd party here.

Any updates on this? I am using a local installation version of OSPOS

Sorry, I just haven't found time to address this yet. I obviously agree that it's a something that is worth doing. As soon as the India GST project is merged I'll be looking for the next thing to do and this is one of the leading candidates..
