How to Generate BarCode in Laravel?

To generate barcodes in Laravel, you can use a popular package called "Picqer/Barcode". This package provides an easy way to generate various types of barcodes, such as Code 128, Code 39, QR codes, and more. Here's how you can use it:

1. Install the Package:

First, install the "Picqer/Barcode" package using Composer:

composer require picqer/php-barcode-generator

2. Generate Barcodes in a Controller or Route:

Next, you can create a controller or use a route closure to generate barcodes. Here's an example using a route closure:

use Picqer\Barcode\BarcodeGeneratorPNG;

Route::get('/generate-barcode/{code}', function ($code) {

$barcodeGenerator = new BarcodeGeneratorPNG();

$barcodeImage = $barcodeGenerator->getBarcode($code, $barcodeGenerator::TYPE_CODE_128);

return response($barcodeImage)

->header('Content-Type', 'image/png');

});

In this example, a route is defined that takes a parameter `{code}` representing the barcode content. The controller action generates a Code 128 barcode using the "Picqer/Barcode" package and returns the barcode image as a PNG response.
