Use Cases

• •Seeding a Postgres products table with 200 unique, valid EAN-13 codes for staging
• •Populating a Shopify or WooCommerce demo store with realistic barcode data
• •Writing Jest or Pytest fixtures for a barcode validation function that checks check-digit logic
• •Simulating French supplier inventory (prefix 30–37) in a warehouse management system
• •Load-testing a barcode lookup REST endpoint in Postman with a large batch of valid codes

Tips

• →Use prefix '50' for UK-style barcodes and '400' for German codes to test region-specific routing logic in your app.
• →When seeding a database, generate in batches of 50–100 and import with a UNIQUE constraint to catch any rare duplicates automatically.
• →A generated EAN-13 starting with '0' is structurally identical to a UPC-A code — drop the leading zero if your system requires 12-digit UPC input.
• →Pair generated barcodes with a barcode rendering library (e.g. JsBarcode or python-barcode) to create scannable label images for physical testing.
• →If your scanner rejects a code, check that it's reading the full 13 digits — some scanners default to UPC-A mode and strip leading zeros.
