## :books: General info
* Django framework admin dashboard lets user specify barcode fields. These are converted into a barcode using the `python-barcode` library function and displayed.
## :camera: Screenshots
## :signal_strength: Technologies
* [Python v3](https://www.python.org/) programming language
* [Django v3](https://www.djangoproject.com/) server-side web framework
* [python-barcode v0.13.1](https://pypi.org/project/python-barcode/) to create barcode. Supports barcode formats: EAN-8, EAN-13, EAN-14, UPC-A, JAN, ISBN-10, ISBN-13, ISSN, Code 39, Code 128, PZN
* [Pillow v8](https://pypi.org/project/Pillow/) Python Imaging Library (Fork)
## :floppy_disk: Setup
* [Install Python](https://docs.python-guide.org/starting/installation/)
* [Install pip](https://docs.python-guide.org/dev/virtualenvs/#installing-pipenv)
* [Install Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/howto/windows/) by typing `pip install Django`
* Run `django-admin startproject barcode_proj` to create a new project [ref. docs](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/intro/tutorial01/)
* Open `barcode_proj` in VS Code
* Run `python manage.py startapp products` to create Python module
* Add code
* Run `pip freeze` to see list of modules installed. [Ref. Docs](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_freeze/)
* Run `python manage.py makemigrations` for changes to models etc.
* Run `python manage.py migrate` to migrate the migration files.
* To add a superuser Run `python manage.py createsuperuser --username=joe [email protected]` [Ref. Docs](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/topics/auth/default/)
* Run `python manage.py runserver` to run server on port 8000 and open /admin console
## :computer: Code Examples
* extract from `products/models.py` by [Pyplane](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQtHyVB4O4Nwy1ff5qQnyRw) showing Product class with fields, a string representation of the product and the bar code
```python
class Product(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
barcode = models.ImageField(upload_to='images/', blank=True)
country_id = models.CharField(max_length=1, null=True)
manufacturer_id = models.CharField(max_length=6, null=True)
product_id = models.CharField(max_length=5, null=True)
def __str__(self):
return str(self.name)
def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
EAN = barcode.get_barcode_class('ean13')
ean = EAN(f'{self.country_id}{self.manufacturer_id}{self.product_id}', writer=ImageWriter())
buffer = BytesIO()
ean.write(buffer)
self.barcode.save(f'{self.name}.png', File(buffer), save=False)
return super().save(*args, **kwargs)
```
## :cool: Features
* Django inbuilt packages - admin dashboard
## :clipboard: Status & To-do list
* Status: Working
* To-do: Comment code, complete readme. Change server config so it shows admin panel right away (so not necessary to add `/admin` to server path)
