We\u2019ll be using the picqer\/php-barcode-generator package, a simple yet powerful tool for creating barcodes. By following the steps below, you\u2019ll be able to add barcode generation to your Laravel app with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll go through examples of creating barcodes in different formats and saving them directly, as well as displaying them in Blade views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1: Set Up Laravel 11<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t set up a Laravel project, you can create a fresh installation with the command below. This step is optional if you already have your Laravel application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>composer create-project laravel\/laravel example-app<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Install picqer\/php-barcode-generator<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To generate barcodes, we\u2019ll install the picqer\/php-barcode-generator package. Open your terminal, navigate to your project directory, and run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>composer require picqer\/php-barcode-generator<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>This package allows us to generate barcodes in different formats, such as PNG images and HTML, for integration into views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Example 1: Generate a Barcode as an Image<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this example, we\u2019ll save the generated barcode image to the storage directory. This is helpful if you need to keep a record of generated barcodes for products or inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>File:<\/strong> routes\/web.php<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>use Illuminate\\Support\\Facades\\Route;\nuse Picqer\\Barcode\\BarcodeGeneratorPNG;\n \nRoute::get('barcode', function () {\n    $generatorPNG = new BarcodeGeneratorPNG();\n    $image = $generatorPNG->getBarcode('000005263635', $generatorPNG::TYPE_CODE_128);\n \n    return response($image)->header('Content-type','image\/png');\n});<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting this route will generate a PNG barcode image, which will display directly in the browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Example 2: Generate and Save a Barcode Image<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In this example, we\u2019ll save the generated barcode image to the storage directory. This is helpful if you need to keep a record of generated barcodes for products or inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>File:<\/strong> routes\/web.php<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>use Illuminate\\Support\\Facades\\Route;\nuse Illuminate\\Support\\Facades\\Storage;\nuse Picqer\\Barcode\\BarcodeGeneratorPNG;\n \nRoute::get('barcode-save', function () {\n    $generatorPNG = new BarcodeGeneratorPNG();\n    $image = $generatorPNG->getBarcode('000005263635', $generatorPNG::TYPE_CODE_128);\n \n    Storage::put('barcodes\/demo.png', $image);\n \n    return response($image)->header('Content-type','image\/png');\n});<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Example 3: Displaying Barcodes in a Blade View<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For applications that display product details, it\u2019s often useful to include the barcode directly in the view. This example generates an HTML-based barcode and passes it to a Blade template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>File:<\/strong> routes\/web.php<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>use Illuminate\\Support\\Facades\\Route;\nuse Picqer\\Barcode\\BarcodeGeneratorHTML;\n \nRoute::get('barcode-blade', function () {\n    $generatorHTML = new BarcodeGeneratorHTML();\n    $barcode = $generatorHTML->getBarcode('0001245259636', $generatorHTML::TYPE_CODE_128);\n \n    return view('barcode', compact('barcode'));\n});\n\nFile: resources\/views\/barcode.blade.php<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html>\n&lt;html>\n&lt;head>\n    &lt;title>Generate Barcode in Laravel 11&lt;\/title>\n    &lt;link href=\"https:\/\/cdn.jsdelivr.net\/npm\/bootstrap@5.0.2\/dist\/css\/bootstrap.min.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\">\n&lt;\/head>\n&lt;body>\n&lt;div class=\"container\">\n    &lt;div class=\"card mt-5\">\n        &lt;h3 class=\"card-header p-3\">Barcode Generation Example&lt;\/h3>\n        &lt;div class=\"card-body\">\n            &lt;h3>Product Code: 0001245259636&lt;\/h3>  \n            {!! $barcode !!}\n        &lt;\/div>\n    &lt;\/div>\n&lt;\/div>\n&lt;\/body>\n&lt;\/html><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>In this example, the barcode is displayed within a styled card component using Bootstrap. This approach works well for creating printable product or inventory lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these steps, you should be able to add barcode generation functionality to your Laravel 11 application for both display and storage purposes. Feel free to experiment with different barcode types provided by the picqer\/php-barcode-generator package, such as <strong>TYPE_CODE_39<\/strong>, to suit your project\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Output<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"185\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.200oksolutions.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Picture1-11.webp\" alt=\"Screenshot of a webpage titled &quot;Barcode Generation Example.&quot; The page shows a product code, &quot;0001245259636,&quot; with a corresponding barcode below it.
