## PDF417 HUB3 Barcode Generator

This library provides you with the ability to generate PDF417 HUB3 Barcodes in browser or Node.js
apps. The final barcode is drawn into a canvas element and can be used for many different use cases.
The code is based on the [bcmath-js](https://sourceforge.net/projects/bcmath-js) and
[pdf417-js](https://github.com/bkuzmic/pdf417-js).


### Browser

You can find a complete example at [examples/browser](examples/browser) and a running demo [here](https://pkoretic.github.io/pdf417-generator).

The usage is as simple as providing a canvas element and a text that should be used for barcode generation:

```
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/pkoretic/pdf417-generator@master/lib/libbcmath.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/pkoretic/pdf417-generator@master/lib/bcmath.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/pkoretic/pdf417-generator@master/lib/pdf417.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

```

**HTML**
```
<canvas id="barcode" ></canvas>
```

**JS**
```
var code = "HRVHUB30\nHRK\n" +
"000000000012355\n"+
"PETAR KORETIĆ\n"+
"PREVOJ DD\n"+
"10000 Zagreb\n"+

var canvas = document.getElementById("barcode")
PDF417.draw(code, canvas)

```

### Node.js

You can find a complete example at [examples/node](examples/node).

The [node-canvas](https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas) library is used for drawing.

Install the library:

```
npm install pdf417-generator
```

Use it as:

```
const Canvas = require("canvas")
const PDF417 = require("pdf417-generator")

const code =
`HRVHUB30
HRK

let canvas = new Canvas()
PDF417.draw(code, canvas)

// create an image which can be sent in an e-mail or similar
console.log(`<img src="${canvas.toDataURL()}" />`)
```


### TypeScript
```
import * as PDF417 from 'pdf417-generator';


PDF417.draw(code, canvas);
```
