Codes
=========
Notice that I am not the author of the code, I am just the creator of an npm module out of the great library from https://code.google.com/p/bwip-js/.

---------
npm install rescode

Example loading specific barcode types
---------------------------------------
var codes = require("rescode");
function( res, req )
{
// Sequence is important
codes.loadModules(["ean2", "ean5", "ean8", "ean13"]);
var data8 = codes.create("ean8","12345678");
res.setHeader("Content-Type","image/png");
res.end( data8 );
OR
res.end("![](data:image/png;base64,"+data8.toString("base64")+")
");
}
Example loading ean barcode types and setting specific options
--------------------------------------------------------------------
var codes = require("rescode");
function( res, req )
{
codes.loadModules(["ean2", "ean5"]);
codes.loadModules(["ean8"], { "includetext":false, "guardwhitespace":false, "inkspread":0, scaleX:3, textyoffset:-15 });
codes.loadModules(["ean13"]);
var data8 = codes.create("ean8","12345678");
res.setHeader("Content-Type","image/png");
res.end( data8 );
OR
res.end("");
}
Example loading qrcode
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
var codes = require("rescode");
function( res, req )
{
// Level L - 7% of codewords can be restored
// Level M - 15% of codewords can be restored
// Level Q - 25% of codewords can be restored
// Level H - 30% of codewords can be restored
// IMPORTANT white padding around qrcode
// CREATE
codes.loadModules(["qrcode"], { "eclevel":"M" , "version": "4", "scaleX": 2, "scaleY": 2} );
var data = codes.create("qrcode","http://npmjs.org");
OR
codes.loadModules(["qrcode"]);
var data = codes.create("qrcode","http://npmjs.org", { "eclevel":"M" , "version": "4", "scaleX": 2, "scaleY": 2} );
// SHOW
res.setHeader("Content-Type","image/png");
res.end( data );
OR
res.end("![](data:image/png;base64,"+data.toString("base64")+")
");
}
Configure
---------
Choose in lib/codes.js the Adatper PNG ( binary png ) or Canvas ( dataURL (smaller size), but canvas has to be installed )
