A [GTIN](https://www.gtin.info/) (Global Trade Item Number) & UPC (Universal Price Code) Generation and Validation Library in Elixir under the GS1 specification.
- GTIN-8 (EAN/UCC-8): this is an 8-digit number used predominately outside of North America
- GTIN-12 (UPC-A): this is a 12-digit number used primarily in North America
- GTIN-13 (EAN/UCC-13): this is a 13-digit number used predominately outside of North America - Global Location Number (GLN)
- GTIN-14 (EAN/UCC-14 or ITF-14): this is a 14-digit number used to identify trade items at various packaging levels
## Features
- Supports GTIN-8, GTIN-12 (UPC-12), GTIN-13 (GLN), GTIN-14
- Generate GTIN
- Check GTIN validity
- Lookup GS1 country prefix
- Convert (normalize) GTIN-13 to GTIN-14
Features to Come:
- Global Shipment Identification Number (GSIN)
- Serial Shipping Container Code (SSCC)
## 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`:
```elixir
def deps do
[{:ex_gtin, "~> 1.0.1"}]
end
```
and run `mix deps.get` to install the `:ex_gtin` dependency
```bash
mix deps.get
```
## Usage
- Check GTIN codes
```elixir
iex> ExGtin.validate("6291041500213")
{:ok, "GTIN-13"}
iex> ExGtin.validate("6291041500214")
{:error, "Invalid Code"}
ex> ExGtin.validate!("6291041500213")
"GTIN-13"
```
Pass GTIN numbers in as a String, Number or an Array
```elixir
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
```elixir
iex> ExGtin.generate("629104150021")
{:ok, "6291041500213"}
iex> ExGtin.generate!("629104150021")
"6291041500213"
```
- Lookup GS1 Prefix
```elixir
iex> ExGtin.Validation.find_gs1_prefix_country("53523235")
{:ok, "GS1 Malta"}
```
- Convert GTIN-13 to GTIN 14
```elixir
iex> ExGtin.normalize("6291041500213")
{:ok, "06291041500213"}
```
### Using Strings, Arrays or Numbers
- String
```elixir
iex> ExGtin.validate("6291041500213")
{:ok, "GTIN-13"}
```
- Array of Integers
```elixir
iex> ExGtin.validate([6, 2, 9, 1, 0, 4, 1, 5, 0, 0, 2, 1, 3])
{:ok, "GTIN-13"}
```
- Integer
```elixir
iex> ExGtin.validate(6291041500213)
{:ok, "GTIN-13"}
```
Integers with leading zeros may not process properly
