JavaScript Barcode Integration Guide

JavaScript functions power interactive behavior in web browsers (MDN Web Docs), drive server-side applications in Node.js, enable cross-platform desktop apps via Electron, fuel mobile experiences with React Native, and are authored in IDEs like Visual Studio Code and WebStorm. All recommended barcode integration solutions below support popular 1D and 2D bar codes, including QR Code, Data Matrix, PDF417, Code 39, Code 128, ITF, and GS1 symbols, including GS1 QR Code, GS1 Data Matrix, GS1 DataBar, and GS1-128.

Recommended JavaScript Integration Solutions 

• The Native JavaScript Barcode Generator easily generates 1D and 2D barcodes in multiple formats, including HTML5, SVG, BMP, and Unicode Image. It is compatible with JQuery and supports HTML Element ID references (Implementing the Native JavaScript  Generator).

• IDAutomation’s WOFF Barcode Web Fonts may be used with a CSS @font-face declaration, and by invoking the IDAutomation JavaScript Font Encoder, you can dynamically render 1D and 2D barcodes in modern web applications. WOFF fonts are included in all developer licenses of any font package.

Additional Options 

• If a simple 1D barcode is all that is needed, Code 39 or Codabar WOFF barcode fonts may be used with a simple JavaScript formula that appends the start and stop characters to that font to generate a scannable barcode symbol.
