hey, so I know that it’s possible to scan barcodes and QR codes using the action node in create. One of the clients asked if it’s possible to implement a functionality where we can generate bar codes. I did not find any action nodes to do that, so is there any workaround for it?

Hello!

Appfarm has a service for displaying QR codes. How to use it:

- Add an Image component
- Set the Image URL to: [https://icons.appfarm.io/qr/v1?url=[YOUR-QR-CODE-STRING]](https://icons.appfarm.io/qr/v1?url=%5BYOUR-QR-CODE-STRING%5D)

If you want to generate a barcode instead, you will have to use a third-party service to generate the barcode and display it using an Image URL.
