Es5 getting started in EJ2 JavaScript Barcode control

2 Jun 202315 minutes to read

The Essential JS 2 for JavaScript (global script) is an ES5 formatted pure JavaScript framework which can be directly used in latest web browsers.

Component Initialization

The Essential JS 2 JavaScript components can be initialized by using either of the following ways.

Using local script and style references in a HTML page.
Using CDN link for script and style reference.

Using local script and style references in a HTML page

Step 1: Create an app folder myapp for Essential JS 2 JavaScript components.

Step 2: You can get the global scripts and styles from the Essential Studio JavaScript (Essential JS 2) build installed location.

Syntax:

Script: **(installed location)**/Syncfusion/Essential Studio/{RELEASE_VERSION}/Essential JS 2/{PACKAGE_NAME}/dist/global/{PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Styles: **(installed location)**/Syncfusion/Essential Studio/{RELEASE_VERSION}/Essential JS 2/{PACKAGE_NAME}/styles/material.css

Example:

Script: C:/Program Files (x86)/Syncfusion/Essential Studio/15.4.30/Essential JS 2/ej2-barcode-generator/dist/global/ej2-barcode-generator.min.js

Styles: C:/Program Files (x86)/Syncfusion/Essential Studio/15.4.30/Essential JS 2/ej2-barcode-generator/styles/material.css

Step 3: Create a folder myapp/resources and copy/paste the global scripts and styles from the above installed location to myapp/resources location.

Step 4: Create a HTML page (index.html) in myapp location and add the Essentials JS 2 script and style references.

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
       <head>
            <title>Essential JS 2</title>
            <!-- Essential JS 2 material theme -->
            <link href="resources/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

            <!-- Essential JS 2 Barcode's global script -->
            <script src="resources/ej2-barcode-generator.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       </head>
       <body>
       </body>
  </html>

Step 5: Now, add the Barcode element and initiate the Essential JS 2 barcode-generator component in the index.html by using following code

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
       <head>
            <title>Essential JS 2</title>
            <!-- Essential JS 2 material theme -->
            <ink href="resources/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

            <!-- Essential JS 2 Barcode's global script -->
            <script src="resources/ej2-barcode-generator.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       </head>
       <body>
            <!-- Add the HTML <div> element  -->
             <div id="element">Barcode</div>
            <script>
                // initialize barcode component
                var barcode = new ej.barcodegenerator.BarcodeGenerator({
                              width: '200px',
                              height: '150px',
                              mode: 'SVG',
                              type: 'Codabar',
                              value: '123456789',
                              });
                              barcode.appendTo('#element');
            </script>
       </body>
  </html>

Step 6: Now, run the index.html in web browser, it will render the Essential JS 2 BarcodeGenerator component.

Using CDN link for script and style reference

Step 1: Create an app folder myapp for the Essential JS 2 JavaScript components.

Step 2: The Essential JS 2 component’s global scripts and styles are already hosted in the below CDN link formats.

Syntax:

Script: http://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/{PACKAGE_NAME}/dist/global/{PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Styles: http://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/{PACKAGE_NAME}/styles/material.css

Example:

Script: http://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/ej2-barcode-generator/dist/global/ej2-barcode-generator.min.js

Styles: http://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/ej2-barcode-generator/styles/material.css

Step 3: Create a HTML page (index.html) in myapp location and add the CDN link references. Now, add the Barcode element and initiate the Essential JS 2 BarcodeGenerator component in the index.html by using following code.

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
       <head>
            <title>Essential JS 2</title>
            <!-- Essential JS 2 material theme -->
            <link href="http://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/ej2-barcode-generator/styles/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

            <!-- Essential JS 2 barcode's global script -->
            <script src="http://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/ej2-barcode-generator/dist/global/ej2-barcode-generator.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       </head>
       <body>
           <!-- Add the HTML <div> element  -->
             <div id="element">Barcode</div>
            <script>
                // initialize barcode component
                  var barcode = new ej.barcodegenerator.BarcodeGenerator({
                                  width: '200px',
                                  height: '150px',
                                  mode: 'SVG',
                                  type: 'Codabar',
                                  value: '123456789',
                                  });
                                barcode.appendTo('#element');
            </script>
            </script>
       </body>
  </html>

Step 4: Now, run the index.html in web browser, it will render the Essential JS 2 BarcodeGenerator component.

Adding Barcode Generator control

You can start adding Essential JS 2 barcode-generator component to the application. To get started, add the barcode component in app.ts and index.html files using the following code.

Place the following barcode-generator code in the app.ts.

index.js
index.html
var barcode = new ej.barcodegenerator.BarcodeGenerator(
    {
        width: '200px',
        height: '150px',
        mode: 'SVG',
        type: 'Codabar',
        value: '123456789',
    }
);
barcode.appendTo('#element');

</head>


<body>
    
    <div id="container" class="barcodeStyle">
        <div id="element"></div>
    </div>


<script>
var ele = document.getElementById('container');
if(ele) {
  ele.style.visibility = "visible";
}   
      </script>
<script src="index.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body></html>

Adding QR Generator control

You can add the QR code in our barcode generator component.

index.js
index.html
var barcode = new ej.barcodegenerator.QRCodeGenerator
(
    {
         width: '200px',
        height: '150px',
        mode: 'SVG',
        value: 'Syncfusion',
    }
);
barcode.appendTo('#element');

if(ele) {
  ele.style.visibility = "visible";
}   
      </script>
<script src="index.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body></html>

Adding Datamatrix Generator control

You can add the datamatrix code in our barcode generator component.

index.js
index.html
var barcode = new ej.barcodegenerator.DataMatrixGenerator
(
    {
        width: '200px',
        height: '150px',
        displayText: { visibility: false },
        mode: 'SVG',
        value: 'Syncfusion',

    }
);
barcode.appendTo('#element');
<!DOCTYPE html><html lang="en"><head>
    <title>EJ2 Barcode-Generator</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
