koubek/bwip-js repository overview

⁠Barcode Writer in Pure JavaScript as a Windows Container

bwip-js is a translation to native JavaScript of the amazing code provided in Barcode Writer in Pure PostScript⁠. The translated code can run on any modern browser or JavaScript-based server framework.

The software has encoding modules for over 90 different barcode types and standards. All linear and two-dimensional barcodes in common use (and many uncommon ones) are available. An exhaustive list of supported barcode types can be found at the end of this document.

• Recommended execution:
  • Run a container with the minimum of the parameters:

docker run -d koubek/bwip-js

• Specify hostname (--hostname) and container name (--name) for easier access and identification:

docker run -d --hostname=bwip-js --name=bwip-js koubek/bwip-js

• Then from you can access the demo service:

http://[container_ip_or_hostname]/demo.html
eg: http://bwip-js/demo.html

• Or you can call the API directly (no GUI):

http://[container_ip_or_hostname]:3030/?bcid=isbn&text=978-1-56581-231-4+52250&includetext&guardwhitespace
eg: http://bwip-js:3030/?bcid=isbn&text=978-1-56581-231-4+52250&includetext&guardwhitespace
