FAQ

Why is my Blade barcode empty / escaped HTML?
Use {!! DNS1D::getBarcodeHTML(...) !!}, not {{ }}.

Why is the <img> broken?
PNG helpers return base64 only. Prefix with data:image/png;base64,.

Barcode works in light mode but not dark mode / email?
Pass a solid $bgcolor, e.g. [255, 255, 255].

Printed barcode won’t scan reliably?
Add a quiet zone (setPadding(...)), use a larger $w (avoid $w = 1 for print), and prefer SVG/PNG over scaled-down screen captures. See Quiet zone.

InvalidBarcodeException?
The payload does not match the symbology (see table above). Switch type or sanitize input.

Can this package scan barcodes from a camera?
No. It only generates barcodes. Scanning needs a separate library or device SDK.

Can it authenticate users / replace login?
No. Generating a QR of a URL or token is not authentication by itself.
