The JS version does not have barcode.length != 12
at the beginning.
@cebence @tompazourek - thank you for your fixes.
Assuming I want to use this code (seems to work fine for me): What is the license type then? Would be nice if you could clarify this.
Just used this gist code in my opensource project that allows you to create & download barcode images for absolutely free. this tool will always be free. Thanks for your contribution making it possible in small time.
Hello,
What about UPC-E barcodes?
Also I contribute a (very) condensed python chunk to add to your gist:
def validate_length(barcode: str) -> bool:
return len(barcode) in (8, 12, 13, 14, 18)
def validate_check_digit(barcode: str) -> bool:
result = sum(
i * 3 if idx % 2 == 0 else i
for idx, i in enumerate(
(int(i) for i in barcode),
)
)
return result % 10 == 0
def validate_barcode(barcode: str) -> bool:
return validate_length(barcode) and validate_check_digit(barcode)
Bye.
Hi, I am trying to use this code in a Google Sheet as a custom function and I admit that I'm a bit out of my depth. I have written Bash scripts, but js is outside my wheelhouse. All my efforts so far just lead to more execution errors.
Is there any chance someone could help convert this to be used as a function in Google Sheets?
Thanks either way!
The JS version does not have
barcode.length != 12
at the beginning.
that only applies for a generic UPC an EAN is 13, so no the suggestion is not valid
It fails when the check digit equals 10.
Line #24 should say:
