Basic Configuration
To create a Barcode, use an HTML div
element and, optionally, use CSS to set its height and width.
The following example demonstrates how to initialize the Barcode with its default configuration. Its default encoding is code39
.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#barcode").kendoBarcode({
value:"FOO"
});
});
After you provide the Barcode value, select the encoding type (symbology). For more information, refer to the article on encoding. To set the color, background, and padding margin of the text, use the Barcode API.
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#barcode").kendoBarcode({
value:"1234567",
type:"ean8"
});
});
