BarCodeGenerator

BarCode is a barcode generator written in JavaScript (based on JsBarcode). It supports multiple barcode formats and the visual aspect can be modified.

Feel free to consult the initial github of this library to understand all parameters.

This is my third Power Apps Component using PowerApps Component framework! It can be installed on both Model Driven App and Canvas App applications.

Based on the following library : https://github.com/lindell/JsBarcode
