NAME
App::EANUtils - Utilities related to EAN (International/European Article
Number)
VERSION
This document describes version 0.003 of App::EANUtils (from Perl
distribution App-EANUtils), released on 2023-01-28.
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
This distribution includes several utilities related to EAN
(International/European Article Number):
* calc-ean13
* calc-ean8
* check-ean13
* check-ean8
FUNCTIONS
calc_ean13
Usage:
calc_ean13(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]
Calculate check digit of EAN-13 number(s).
Examples:
* Calculate a single number:
calc_ean13(numbers => ["5-901234-12345"]); # -> [200, "OK", [5901234123457], {}]
This function is not exported.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* numbers* => *array[ean13_without_check_digit]*
EAN-13 numbers without the check digit.
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status
code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second
element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something
like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual
result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error
response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is
called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra
information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional
metadata.
Return value: (any)
calc_ean8
Usage:
calc_ean8(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]
Calculate check digit of EAN-8 number(s).
Examples:
* Calculate a single number:
calc_ean8(numbers => ["9638-507"]); # -> [200, "OK", [96385074], {}]
This function is not exported.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* numbers* => *array[ean8_without_check_digit]*
EAN-8 numbers without the check digit.
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status
code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second
element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something
like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual
result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error
response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is

information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional
metadata.
Return value: (any)
check_ean13
Usage:
check_ean13(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]
Check EAN-13 number(s).
Examples:
* Check a single EAN-13 number (valid, exit code will be zero, message
will be printed to STDOUT):
check_ean13(ean13_numbers => ["5-901234-123457"]);
Result:
[
200,
"All success",
undef,
{
results => [{ item_id => 5901234123457, message => "OK", status => 200 }],
},
]
* Check a single EAN-13 number (valid, exit code will be zero, no
message):
check_ean13(ean13_numbers => ["5-901234-123457"], quiet => 1);
Result:
[
200,
"All success",
undef,
{
results => [{ item_id => 5901234123457, message => "OK", status => 200 }],
},
]
* Check a single EAN-13 number (invalid, exit code is non-zero,
message output to STDOUT):
check_ean13(ean13_numbers => ["5-901234-123450"]);
Result:
[
400,
"Invalid checksum digit",
undef,
{
results => [
{
item_id => 5901234123450,
message => "Invalid checksum digit",
status => 400,
},
],
},
]
* Check a single EAN-13 number (invalid, exit code is non-zero, no
message):
check_ean13(ean13_numbers => ["5-901234-123450"], quiet => 1);
Result:
[
400,
"Invalid checksum digit",
undef,
{
results => [
{
item_id => 5901234123450,
message => "Invalid checksum digit",
status => 400,
},
],
},
]
Exit code will be non-zero all numbers are invalid. To check for
individual numbers, use the JSON output.
This function is not exported.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* ean13_numbers* => *array[ean13_unvalidated]*
(No description)
* quiet => *bool*
If set to true, don't output message to STDOUT.
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status
code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second

* Check a single EAN-8 number (valid, exit code will be zero, message
output to STDOUT):
check_ean8(ean8_numbers => ["9638-5074"]);
Result:
[
200,
"All success",
undef,
{
results => [{ item_id => 96385074, message => "OK", status => 200 }],

"Incorrect check digit",
undef,
{
results => [
{ item_id => 96385070, message => "Incorrect check digit", status => 400 },
],
},
]

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You
can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally
on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla,
Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR,
Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two
other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps
required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
