Installation

WARNING 1.0.1 contains breaking changes from 1.0.0 (I know this is a patch release but the breaking changes related to the deprecation of check_gtin and generate_gtin were noted in the changelog and docs over a year ago) WARNING 1.0.0 contains breaking changes from 0.4.0

Add :ex_gtin as a dependency to your project's mix.exs:

def deps do
  [{:ex_gtin, "~> 1.1.0"}]
end

and run mix deps.get to install the :ex_gtin dependency

mix deps.get

Usage

Check GTIN codes

iex> ExGtin.validate("6291041500213")
{:ok, "GTIN-13"}

iex> ExGtin.validate("6291041500214")
{:error, "Invalid Code"}

iex> ExGtin.validate!("6291041500213")
"GTIN-13"

Pass GTIN numbers in as a String, Number or an Array

iex> number = [6, 2, 9, 1, 0, 4, 1, 5, 0, 0, 2, 1,3]
iex> ExGtin.validate(number)
{:ok, "GTIN-13"}

iex> number = 6_291_041_500_213
iex> ExGtin.validate(number)
{:ok, "GTIN-13"}

Generate GTIN codes

iex> ExGtin.generate("629104150021")
{:ok, "6291041500213"}

iex> ExGtin.generate!("629104150021")
"6291041500213"

Lookup GS1 Prefix

iex> ExGtin.Validation.find_gs1_prefix_country("53523235")
{:ok, "GS1 Malta"}

Convert GTIN-13 to GTIN 14

iex> ExGtin.normalize("6291041500213")
{:ok, "06291041500213"}

Using Strings, Arrays or Numbers

String

iex> ExGtin.validate("6291041500213")
{:ok, "GTIN-13"}

Array of Integers

iex> ExGtin.validate([6, 2, 9, 1, 0, 4, 1, 5, 0, 0, 2, 1, 3])
{:ok, "GTIN-13"}

Integer

iex> ExGtin.validate(6291041500213)
{:ok, "GTIN-13"}

Integers with leading zeros may not process properly
