# @suaveplan/barcode

Runtime-agnostic 1D barcode generation for seven symbologies — Code 128B, Code 39, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, and ITF. Outputs inline SVG strings and binary bar-pattern arrays with no canvas, no DOM, and no Node.js built-ins required, making it safe to use in Bun, Deno, edge runtimes, and browsers alike. Includes check-digit calculation, barcode validation, and human-readable text rendering. Use this package to generate product labels, shipping labels (ITF/GTIN-14), retail barcodes (EAN/UPC), and document barcodes (Code 128). For 2D barcodes (QR codes) use `@suaveplan/qrcode`. This package does not support barcode scanning/decoding from images — it is generation-only.

## When to use this skill

- Implementing or debugging code that imports `@suaveplan/barcode`.
- The task touches: see package README.
- You need API guidance for this package's exports.

## Quick reference

```ts
import { /* see API Reference below */ } from "@suaveplan/barcode";
```

## Dependencies

Workspace dependencies: _none_

## Where to read more

This skill is intentionally short. The package's own documentation is the authoritative source — read these in order:

1. **`packages/codes/barcode/README.md`** — overview, install, quick-start, module index
2. **`packages/codes/barcode/src/**/*.md`** — co-located docs per implementation file (Purpose, Features, Basic + Advanced examples, full API reference, Implementation notes — all packages in genesis ship ≥200 words per module)
3. **`packages/codes/barcode/package.json`** `exports` map — every subpath you can import from

When the user asks an API question, read the relevant co-located `.md` first; do not answer from training-data memory.
