Customize Barcode Appearance

This documentation explains how to customize the appearance of barcodes using the Aspose.BarCode Cloud SDK for Node.js. It provides details on the available methods, customization options, and examples of usage.

Methods

generate: Generates a barcode via GET request.
generateBody: Generates a barcode via POST request with JSON or XML body.
generateMultipart: Generates a barcode via POST request with multipart form data.

Customization Options

When generating a barcode, you can customize various aspects of its appearance using the properties of the request classes.

Key Properties:

barcodeType: Specifies the type of barcode to generate (e.g. QR, Aztec, Pdf417, Code39, etc).
data: The data to encode in the barcode.
imageFormat: Specifies the output format of the barcode image (e.g., Png, Jpeg, Svg).
foregroundColor: Color of the barcode bars, supports standard color names or ARGB values (e.g., AliceBlue or #FF000000).
backgroundColor: Background color of the barcode image.
textLocation: Position of the code text relative to the barcode (Below, Above, None).
units: Measurement units for image dimensions (Pixel, Inch, Millimeter).
resolution: Resolution of the image in dpi.
imageHeight and imageWidth: Dimensions of the barcode image.
rotationAngle: Rotation angle of the barcode (e.g., 0, 90, 180).

Examples

Example 1: Generating a Barcode with GET Request

const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const Barcode = require('aspose-barcode-cloud-node');

function makeConfiguration() {
    const envToken = process.env['TEST_CONFIGURATION_ACCESS_TOKEN'];
    if (!envToken) {
        return new Barcode.Configuration(
            'Client Id from https://dashboard.aspose.cloud/applications',
            'Client Secret from https://dashboard.aspose.cloud/applications',
            null,
            null
        );
    } else {
        return new Barcode.Configuration(null, null, null, envToken);
    }
}
const config = makeConfiguration();
async function generateBarcode(api, fileName) {
    const request = new Barcode.GenerateRequestWrapper(Barcode.EncodeBarcodeType.Qr, 'Aspose.BarCode.Cloud');
    request.foregroundColor = 'Black';
    request.backgroundColor = 'White';
    request.imageFormat = Barcode.BarcodeImageFormat.Png;
    request.resolution = 300;
    request.imageHeight = 200;
    request.imageWidth = 200;

    const generated = await api.generate(request);

    fs.writeFileSync(fileName, generated.body);
}

const genApi = new Barcode.GenerateApi(config);
const fileName = path.resolve('testdata', 'Qr.png');

generateBarcode(genApi, fileName)
    .then(() => {
        console.log("File '" + fileName + "' generated.");
    })
    .catch((err) => {
        console.error('Error: ' + JSON.stringify(err, null, 2));
        process.exitCode = 1;
    });

Example 2: Generating a Barcode with POST Request (JSON Body)

const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const Barcode = require('aspose-barcode-cloud-node');

function makeConfiguration() {
    const envToken = process.env['TEST_CONFIGURATION_ACCESS_TOKEN'];
    console.log('Start config');
    if (!envToken) {
        return new Barcode.Configuration(
            'Client Id from https://dashboard.aspose.cloud/applications',
            'Client Secret from https://dashboard.aspose.cloud/applications',
            null,
            null
        );
    } else {
        return new Barcode.Configuration(null, null, null, envToken);
    }
}
const config = makeConfiguration();

async function generateBarcode(api, fileName) {
    const imageParams = new Barcode.BarcodeImageParams();
    imageParams.foregroundColor = '#FF0000';
    imageParams.backgroundColor = '#FFFF00';
    imageParams.imageFormat = Barcode.BarcodeImageFormat.Jpeg;
    imageParams.rotationAngle = 90;

    const encodeData = new Barcode.EncodeData();
    encodeData.data = 'Aspose';

    const generateParams = new Barcode.GenerateParams();
    generateParams.barcodeType = Barcode.EncodeBarcodeType.Code39;
    generateParams.encodeData = encodeData;
    generateParams.barcodeImageParams = imageParams;

    const request = new Barcode.GenerateBodyRequestWrapper(generateParams);

    const generated = await api.generateBody(request);

    fs.writeFileSync(fileName, generated.body);
}
const genApi = new Barcode.GenerateApi(config);

const fileName = path.resolve('testdata', 'Code39.png');

generateBarcode(genApi, fileName)
    .then(() => {
        console.log('Barcode saved to ' + fileName);
    })
    .catch((err) => {
        console.error('Error: ' + JSON.stringify(err, null, 2));
        process.exitCode = 1;
    });

Example 3: Generating a Barcode with POST Request (Multipart Form)

const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const Barcode = require('aspose-barcode-cloud-node');

function makeConfiguration() {
    const envToken = process.env['TEST_CONFIGURATION_ACCESS_TOKEN'];
    if (!envToken) {
        return new Barcode.Configuration(
            'Client Id from https://dashboard.aspose.cloud/applications',
            'Client Secret from https://dashboard.aspose.cloud/applications',
            null,
            null
        );
    } else {
        return new Barcode.Configuration(null, null, null, envToken);
    }
}
const config = makeConfiguration();
async function generateBarcode(api, fileName) {
    const request = new Barcode.GenerateMultipartRequestWrapper(
        Barcode.EncodeBarcodeType.Pdf417,
        'Aspose.BarCode.Cloud'
    );
    request.textLocation = Barcode.CodeLocation.Above;
    request.imageFormat = Barcode.BarcodeImageFormat.Svg;

    const generated = await api.generateMultipart(request);

    fs.writeFileSync(fileName, generated.body);
}

const genApi = new Barcode.GenerateApi(config);
const fileName = path.resolve('testdata', 'Pdf417.svg');

generateBarcode(genApi, fileName)
    .then(() => {
        console.log("File '" + fileName + "' generated.");
    })
    .catch((err) => {
        console.error('Error: ' + JSON.stringify(err, null, 2));
        process.exitCode = 1;
