As I am leaving Ingrid, I am stepping back from being the maintainer of this project. This repository will remain public, but I will no longer be reviewing pull requests, responding to issues, or releasing updates.
It is possible that this project will get a new maintainer from Ingrid in the future. In the meantime, you are welcome to open PRs or issues, though please note that they are unlikely to be reviewed. You are also free to fork this project, as it is released under the MIT license.
Sincerely, Fedir Kryvytskyi
Library for rendering ZPL (Zebra Programming Language) files as raster images
- Partially based on https://github.com/BinaryKits/BinaryKits.Zpl
- Uses slightly modified implementations of:
- PDF417, Aztec, Code 2 of 5 and EAN13 barcodes from https://github.com/boombuler/barcode/
- Code 128, Code 39, QR Code and DataMatrix from https://github.com/makiuchi-d/gozxing
This library emulates subset of ZPL engine and allows you to view most of the ZPL labels that are used by carriers such as Fedex, UPS or DHL as PNGs without the need to possess physical Zebra-compatible printer. Think of https://labelary.com/viewer.html except it is completely free for commercial use, has no API limits and can easily be self-hosted or plugged into existing Go application so you don't need to send labels with real customers information to some 3rd-party servers
Example of the output (more examples can be found inside testdata folder):
file, err := os.ReadFile("./testdata/label.zpl")
if err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
parser := zebrash.NewParser()
res, err := parser.Parse(file)
if err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
var buff bytes.Buffer
drawer := zebrash.NewDrawer()
err = drawer.DrawLabelAsPng(res[0], &buff, drawers.DrawerOptions{
LabelWidthMm: 101.6,
LabelHeightMm: 203.2,
Dpmm: 8,
EnableInvertedLabels: true,
GrayscaleOutput: true
})
if err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
err = os.WriteFile("./testdata/label.png", buff.Bytes(), 0744)
if err != nil {
t.Fatal(err)
}
