This section explains the steps required to create a simple barcode and demonstrates the basic usage of the barcode generator control.

Prerequisites

System requirements for Syncfusion Vue UI components

Dependencies

The following list of dependencies are required to use the Barcode Generator component in your application.

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-vue-barcode-generator
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-data
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-navigations
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-inputs
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-popups
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-lists
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-barcode-generator
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-vue-base

Get Started with Vue CLI

You can use Vue CLI to setup your vue applications.
To install Vue CLI use the following command.

npm install -g @vue/cli
npm install -g @vue/cli-init

Start a new project using below Vue CLI command.

vue init webpack-simple quickstart

cd quickstart
npm install

Adding Syncfusion packages

All the available Essential JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com registry. You can choose the component that you want to install. For this application, we are going to use Barcode Generator component.

To install Barcode Generator component, use the following command

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-vue-barcode-generator –save

Registering Vue Component

For Registering Vue Component two ways are available. They are as follows.

• Vue.use()
• Vue.component()

Using Vue.use()

Import the Component Plugin from the EJ2 Vue Package and register the same using Vue.use() with Component Plugin as its argument.

Refer the code snippet given below.

import { BarcodeGeneratorPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-barcode-generator';

Vue.use(BarcodeGeneratorPlugin);

Note : By Registering Component Plugin in Vue, all child directives are also globally registered.

Adding Barcode Generator control

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

app.vue

<template>
    <div id="app" class="barcodeStyle">
        <ejs-barcodegenerator
              id="barcode"
              ref="barcodeControl"
              :width="width"
              :height="height"
              :type="type"
              :value="value"
              :mode="mode"
            ></ejs-barcodegenerator>

    </div>
</template>
<style>
    .barcodeStyle {
            height: 150px;
            width: 200px;
            padding-left: 40%;
            padding-top: 9%;
        }
</style>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { BarcodeGeneratorPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-barcode-generator';

Vue.use(BarcodeGeneratorPlugin);
export default {
    name: 'app'
    data () {
        return {
            width: "200px",
            height: "150px",
            type: "Codabar",
            value: "123456789",
            mode: "SVG",
        }
    }
}
</script>

Adding QR Generator control

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

app.vue

<template>
    <div id="app" class="barcodeStyle">
        <ejs-qrcodegenerator
              id="barcode"
              ref="barcodeControl"
              :width="width"
              :height="height"
              :value="value"
              :mode="mode"
            ></ejs-qrcodegenerator>


    </div>
</template>
<style>
    .barcodeStyle {
            height: 150px;
            width: 200px;
            padding-left: 40%;

</style>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { QRCodeGeneratorPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-barcode-generator';

Vue.use(QRCodeGeneratorPlugin);
export default {
    name: 'app'
    data () {
        return {
            width: "200px",
            height: "150px",

            value: "Syncfusion",
        }
    }
}
</script>

Adding Datamatrix Generator control

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

app.vue

<template>
    <div id="app" class="barcodeStyle">
        <ejs-datamatrixgenerator
              id="barcode"
              ref="barcodeControl"
              :width="width"
              :height="height"
              :value="value"
              :mode="mode"
            ></ejs-datamatrixgenerator>



    </div>
</template>
<style>
    .barcodeStyle {
            height: 150px;
            width: 200px;
            padding-left: 40%;
            padding-top: 9%;
        }
</style>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { DataMatrixGeneratorPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-barcode-generator';

Vue.use(DataMatrixGeneratorPlugin);
export default {
    name: 'app'
    data () {
        return {
             width: "200px",
             height: "150px",
             mode: "SVG",
             value: "Syncfusion",
