Code 128 Support

[dko21]

How to Reproduce:

1. Using vue-barcode-reader@0.0.3 (Vue 2.0 compatible version)
2. ALTERNATIVELY, go to zxing-js demo or vercel demo for this package
3. try to scan a code 128 type barcode that defines a part number * (denoted as P/N)
   ?. try indefinitely to get a result

*: I don't know how a part number barcode is differentiated from a regular Code 128 barcode aside from what's visibly obvious.

Problem:

Tried to scan a Code 128 type barcode, included in the supported formats within the ZXing library. As I understand, this package uses that to scan the barcodes. That type is apparently supported, as listed within the 1d Industrial type of barcodes, so:

• Why can I not scan them?

• Is anyone else having the same problem?

• And, is it possible to write a wrapper of some sort that would let me do this?

Would appreciate some direction to pursue.
Thanks for reading

I have the same problem.

Code 128 has 3 subtypes (A,B,C). Maybe one of theses subtypes is not well recognized. By experience, code128 barcode with bad quality is often misreaded.

Can you give us some barecodes to reproduce the bug ?

@lalmat Hello, I reckon (visually) it looks the most similar to a subtype C barcode, it's very dense and consists of only numeric information. I can't provide an example at the moment but will try to do so. Meanwhile, in case the issue manifests with online examples anyone may find, I'd be glad if you could let me know as well
