Hi, Dev
In this guide, I'll walk you through the process of generating barcodes within your Laravel 11 application. Our tool of choice will be the picqer/php-barcode-generator composer package, offering seamless barcode creation integration in Laravel 11.
In this demonstration, we'll create a barcode using the picqer/php-barcode-generator composer package. I'll provide a straightforward example showcasing the generation of barcodes with TYPE_CODE_128 and TYPE_CODE_39 types.
Let's see the steps below, and you can generate a barcode in your Laravel 11 projects as well.

This step is not required; however, if you have not created the Laravel app, then you may go ahead and execute the below command:
composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app
Install picqer/php-barcode-generator
In this step, we will install the `picqer/php-barcode-generator` package that provides a way to generate barcodes in a Laravel application. So, first, open your terminal and run the command below:
composer require picqer/php-barcode-generator
