Installation

.NET CLI

dotnet add package Syncfusion.Maui.Barcode

Package Manager Console

Install-Package Syncfusion.Maui.Barcode

Getting started

1. Register the Syncfusion core handler

In MauiProgram.cs, call ConfigureSyncfusionCore():

using Syncfusion.Maui.Core.Hosting;

public static class MauiProgram
{
    public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
    {
        var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
        builder
            .UseMauiApp<App>()
            .ConfigureSyncfusionCore();

        return builder.Build();
    }
}

2. Create a model and a ViewModel

using System.Collections.ObjectModel;

public class BarcodeData
{
    public string Value { get; set; }
    public string Symbology { get; set; }
}

public class BarcodeViewModel
{
    public string BarcodeValue { get; set; }
    public ObservableCollection<string> AvailableSymbologies { get; set; }

    public BarcodeViewModel()
    {
        BarcodeValue = "123456789";
        AvailableSymbologies = new ObservableCollection<string>
        {
            "Code128", "QRCode", "DataMatrix", "Code39"
        };
    }
}

3. Add SfBarcodeGenerator to your page

<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             xmlns:syncfusion="clr-namespace:Syncfusion.Maui.Barcode;assembly=Syncfusion.Maui.Barcode"
             xmlns:local="clr-namespace:YourAppNamespace"
             x:Class="YourAppNamespace.MainPage">

    <ContentPage.BindingContext>
        <local:BarcodeViewModel />
    </ContentPage.BindingContext>

    <VerticalStackLayout Padding="20" Spacing="10">
        <syncfusion:SfBarcodeGenerator Value="{Binding BarcodeValue}"
                                        Symbology="Code128"
                                        HeightRequest="150" />
    </VerticalStackLayout>

Using this package with an AI coding agent

Before generating Syncfusion code, ask your AI coding agent to run the Syncfusion setup using the following prompt:

Set up this project for Syncfusion before generating code. Fetch and follow the official instructions at https://ai.syncfusion.com, then report the detected platform, installed skill pack, MCP status, and any required licensing action.

The setup detects your project's platform and loads the appropriate Syncfusion skill pack. No Syncfusion account or MCP key is required to install or read Syncfusion agent skills.
