Hello

I would like to know if there is a gem or utility which could be used in a rails application to generate a 2D barcode (datamatrix or PDF417).

Thanks

Regards

Don’t know if any of these are good or bad but at least there’s some options! ;-)

Try Barby [ http://github.com/toretore/barby/tree/master ]. It has great support out of the box and also ties in nicely with rmagick if you need it.

Thank you both.
I think the links you send to me can help.

Barby doesn’t yet have support for 2D barcodes, but it’s definitely on the list of planned features. If someone knowledgeable wants to help make that happen faster, that’d be great :)
