The Barcode component is used to generate and display a barcode based on the value and type provided.
Barcode Types and Formats
There are numerous barcode types to choose from and each type has a specific format for its value. Refer to the chart below and ensure that the value you’re giving the barcode is the correct format(character set) based on the barcode type(symbology). Failing to provide a value in the correct format will cause the barcode to not render.
