grocy/changelog/62_UNRELEASED_xxxx-xx-xx.md

⚠️ The following PHP extensions are now additionally required: json, intl, zlib

⚠️ PHP 8 is now supported and from now on the only tested runtime version (but as of now, PHP 7.2 should still work).

New feature: (Own) Product and stock entry labels/barcodes ("grocycode")

• Print own labels/barcodes for products and/or every stock entry and then scan that code on every place a product or stock entry can be selected
• Can be printed (or downloaded) via
  • The product edit page
  • The context/more menu per line on the stock overview and stock entries page
  • Automatically on purchase (new option on the purchase page, defaults can be configured per product)
• The used barcode type can be configured via the config.php option GROCYCODE_TYPE:
  • 1D (default) will produce a Code128 1D barcode (supported by the integrated camera barcode scanner)
  • 2D will produce a DataMatrix 2D barcode (currently not supported by the integrated camera barcode scanner, but can be probably printed smaller)
• Label printer functionality can be enabled via the new feature flag FEATURE_FLAG_LABELPRINTER (defaults to disabled)
• Label printer communication happens via WebHooks - see the new LABEL_PRINTER* config.php options
• Those grocycodes can also be used without a label printer - you can view or download the pictures and print them manually
• More information:

  • This happens automatically on consuming a recipe/product from the meal plan page

API improvements/fixes

❗ Numbers are now returned as numbers (so technically without quotes around them, were strings for nearly all endpoints before - should practically be no real difference)

• Added a new API endpoint /system/localization-strings to get the localization strings (gettext JSON representation; in the by the user desired language)
