Hi, I'm trying to use the Codabar format, this is my code: <ngx-barcode [bc-value]="'something'" [bc-display-value]="true" [bc-format]="'codabar'"></ngx-barcode>

I got this error:

ERROR TypeError: api.options(...)[options.format] is not a function

(same for most other formats)

Am I doing it wrong?

Confirmed. The only formats that work are CODE128, CODE39, and MSI. All others throw an error.

Just try it with EAN8, EAN13 seems to be ok. codabar too. For me the problem was that i was setting format as 'EAN-13' instead of 'EAN13'

Before using a specific barcode format look for its specification. In case of ITF-14 it must be exactly 14 digits long. Otherwise it won't show.
