Barfly

Verify barcodes as a service.

A Spring Boot application that uses the ZXing library for decoding barcodes from images.

Up and running

Requires Java 8.

Have gradle installed or use the gradle wrapper.

./gradlew idea   # Prep for intellij development
./gradlew build  # Fetch deps and build project
./gradlew run    # Boot spring

Using

Once running, post a multipart request to the upload path:

curl -X POST \
  -F "file=@test_barcode.png" \
  http://localhost:8080/upload

or visit http://localhost:8080 and upload an image of a barcode via the web form.

Deploying

It's pretty easy to deploy to Heroku:

• Create a Heroku application
• Add the heroku git repo as a remote
• git push heroku master

Alternatively, you can build a war file with: ./gradlew war.
