Chapter 42. Barcode DataFormat
Available as of Camel version 2.14
The barcode data format is based on the zxing library. The goal of this component is to create a barcode image from a String (marshal) and a String from a barcode image (unmarshal). You’re free to use all features that zxing offers.
42.1. Dependencies
To use the barcode data format in your camel routes you need to add the a dependency on camel-barcode which implements this data format.
If you use maven you could just add the following to your pom.xml, substituting the version number for the latest & greatest release (see the download page for the latest versions).
<dependency> <groupId>org.apache.camel</groupId> <artifactId>camel-barcode</artifactId> <version>x.x.x</version> </dependency>
42.2. Barcode Options
The Barcode dataformat supports 5 options, which are listed below.
| Name | Default | Java Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| width |
| Width of the barcode | |
| height |
| Height of the barcode | |
| imageType |
| Image type of the barcode such as png | |
| barcodeFormat |
| Barcode format such as QR-Code | |
| contentTypeHeader |
|
| Whether the data format should set the Content-Type header with the type from the data format if the data format is capable of doing so. For example application/xml for data formats marshalling to XML, or application/json for data formats marshalling to JSon etc. |
42.3. Spring Boot Auto-Configuration
The component supports 6 options, which are listed below.
| Name | Description | Default | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| camel.dataformat.barcode.barcode-format | Barcode format such as QR-Code | String | |
| camel.dataformat.barcode.content-type-header | Whether the data format should set the Content-Type header with the type from the data format if the data format is capable of doing so. For example application/xml for data formats marshalling to XML, or application/json for data formats marshalling to JSon etc. | false | Boolean |
| camel.dataformat.barcode.enabled | Enable barcode dataformat | true | Boolean |
| camel.dataformat.barcode.height | Height of the barcode | Integer | |
| camel.dataformat.barcode.image-type | Image type of the barcode such as png | String | |
| camel.dataformat.barcode.width | Width of the barcode | Integer |

42.4. Using the Java DSL
First you have to initialize the barcode data fomat class. You can use the default constructor, or one of parameterized (see JavaDoc). The default values are:
| Parameter | Default Value |
|---|---|
| image type (BarcodeImageType) | PNG |
| width | 100 px |
| height | 100 px |
| encoding | UTF-8 |
| barcode format (BarcodeFormat) | QR-Code |
// QR-Code default DataFormat code = new BarcodeDataFormat();
If you want to use zxing hints, you can use the 'addToHintMap' method of your BarcodeDataFormat instance:
code.addToHintMap(DecodeHintType.TRY_HARDER, Boolean.true);
For possible hints, please consult the xzing documentation.
42.4.1. Marshalling
from("direct://code")
.marshal(code)
.to("file://barcode_out");You can call the route from a test class with:
template.sendBody("direct://code", "This is a testmessage!");You should find inside the 'barcode_out' folder this image:
42.4.2. Unmarshalling
The unmarshaller is generic. For unmarshalling you can use any BarcodeDataFormat instance. If you’ve two instances, one for (generating) QR-Code and one for PDF417, it doesn’t matter which one will be used.
from("file://barcode_in?noop=true")
.unmarshal(code) // for unmarshalling, the instance doesn't matter
.to("mock:out");If you’ll paste the QR-Code image above into the 'barcode_in' folder, you should find ‘This is a testmessage!’ inside the mock. You can find the barcode data format as header variable:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BarcodeFormat | String | Value of com.google.zxing.BarcodeFormat. |
