About

Pass barcodes to Barcode Buddy. If already in the Grocys system, it will consume/add/open the product there.
If an unknown barcode is passed, the product name will be looked up and a corresponding product can be chosen in the Web UI.
Tags can be saved — if a new product contains the tag in the name, the product will be already preselected in the drop-down list.

Prerequisites

Webserver that supports PHP (e.g. NGINX, Apache) or Docker, a Grocy API key and ideally a barcode scanner or Android device.

Getting Started

Refer to the documentation, on how to install the program.
Installation can be done in a couple of minutes.

Usage

Barcodes can either be manually added to the programm or the process can be automated by grabbing the input from the scanner.

Refer to the documentation, on how to use the program.
