Prerequisites
System requirements for Syncfusion Vue UI components
Creating Vue application using Vue CLI
The easiest way to create a Vue application is to use the Vue CLI
. Vue CLI versions higher than 4.5.0
are mandatory for creating applications using Vue 3. Use the following command to uninstall older versions of the Vue CLI.
npm uninstall vue-cli -g
Use the following commands to install the latest version of Vue CLI.
npm install -g @vue/cli
npm install -g @vue/cli-init
Create a new project using the following command.
vue create quickstart
Initiating a new project prompts us to select the type of project to be used for the current application. Select the option Default (Vue 3)
from the menu.
Adding Syncfusion Barcode package in the application
Syncfusion Vue packages are maintained in the npmjs.com
registry.
In this example, the Barcode component will be used. Use the following command to install it.
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-vue-barcode-generator
Adding CSS reference for Syncfusion Vue Barcode component
Import the necessary css styles for the Barcode component along with dependency styles in the <style>
section of the src/App.vue
file as follows.
<style>
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-icons/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-barcode-generator/styles/material.css";
</style>
Adding Syncfusion Vue Barcode component in the application
You have completed all of the necessary configurations required to render the Syncfusion Vue component. Now, you are going to add the Barcode component using the following steps:
-
Import the Barcode component in the
<script>
section of thesrc/App.vue
file.<script> import { BarcodeGeneratorComponent, QRCodeGeneratorComponent, DataMatrixGeneratorComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-barcode-generator'; </script>
-
Register the Barcode component, which is used in this example. The following table contains a list of directives and the tag names that can be used in the Barcode component.
Directive Name Tag Name BarcodeGeneratorComponent
ejs-barcodegenerator
QRCodeGeneratorComponent
ejs-qrcodegenerator
DataMatrixGeneratorComponent
ejs-datamatrixgenerator
-
By using the following code sample, you can add the component definition in template section.
<template> <div id="app" class="barcodeStyle"> <ejs-barcodegenerator id="barcode" ref="barcodeControl" :width="width" :height="height" :type="type" :value="value" :mode="mode" :displayText="displaytext" > </ejs-barcodegenerator> </div> </template>
-
Declare the barcode generator properties in the
script
section. Here, declare the width, Height, type, value, and mode values for theejs-barcodegenerator
property.data() { return { width: "200px", height: "150px", type: "Codabar", value: "123456789", mode: "SVG", displaytext: { text: 'BarcodeGenerator'} }; }
-
Summarizing the above steps, update the
src/App.vue
file with following code.<template> <div id="app" class="barcodeStyle"> <ejs-barcodegenerator id="barcode" ref="barcodeControl" :width="width" :height="height" :type="type" :displayText="displaytext" :value="value" :mode="mode" > </ejs-barcodegenerator> </div> </template> <script> import { BarcodeGeneratorComponent, } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-barcode-generator"; import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css"; import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-icons/styles/material.css"; import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-barcode-generator/styles/material.css"; export default { name: "App", components: { "ejs-barcodegenerator": BarcodeGeneratorComponent, }, data() { return { width: "200px", height: "150px", type: "Codabar", value: "123456789", mode: "SVG", displaytext: { text: 'BarcodeGenerator'}, }; }, }; </script> <style> @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css"; @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-icons/styles/material.css"; @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-barcode-generator/styles/material.css"; </style>
