Getting Started with React Barcode Component

Smart UI React targets React 18+ and current Node LTS for tooling; use TypeScript templates when you want typed props and events.

Demo source (Smart UI repo): react/source/barcode/basic/App.jsx

1 Create a Vite + React + TypeScript app

npm create vite@latest my-smart-app -- --template react-ts

```
cd my-smart-app
```
then
```
npm install
```

2 Install Smart UI for React

npm install smart-webcomponents-react

3 Import styles and render the component

Open src/App.tsx (or App.jsx if you chose JavaScript). The snippet below matches Smart UI React demos for this widget:

import 'smart-webcomponents-react/source/styles/smart.default.css';
import './App.css';
import React from 'react';
import { Barcode } from 'smart-webcomponents-react/barcode';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div className="container">
      <h3>The Barcode element supports a wide range of the most common Barcode types available</h3>

      <div>Pharmacode:</div>
      <Barcode id="pharma" type="pharmacode" value="1234" />

      <div>Codabar:</div>
      <Barcode type="codabar" value="A2402B" />

      <div>Code128 A | B | C:</div>
      <Barcode type="code128c" value="22481203" />
      <Barcode type="code128a" value="EXAMPLE" />
      <Barcode type="code128b" value="example" />

      <br />
      <div>MSI 10 | 11:</div>
      <Barcode type="msi10" value="12345" />
      <Barcode type="msi11" value="67890" />

      <div>Code39:</div>
      <Barcode type="code39" value="*1234567AB" lineWidth={2} />
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

4 Run the dev server

npm run dev

Open the URL Vite prints (often http://localhost:5173/).

Alternative: Next.js

Create an app with npx create-next-app@latest (Pages Router or App Router). Install the same package (npm install smart-webcomponents-react), then reuse the imports and default export from step 3 in pages/_app.tsx, the App Router root app/layout.tsx, or your top-level layout component so styles and the widget tree load once.

TypeScript Support

Types ship with smart-webcomponents-react. Import the component and prop types:

import type { Barcode, BarcodeProps } from 'smart-webcomponents-react/barcode';

The generated wrappers expose on* callbacks (for example onChange) whose arguments are standard DOM Event values unless the widget typings narrow them further.

Live demos

Supported stacks: Smart UI targets Angular 17+, React 18+, Vue 3+, Node 18 LTS, and evergreen browsers; pin exact package versions to your org policy.
