Open-Source React Library Enables Client-Side A4 Batch ID Card Printing
A developer has released an open-source React library called @stratametriq/id-card-designer that enables batch ID card generation entirely within the browser, requiring no backend server. The tool supports drag-and-drop template design with dynamic data binding using Handlebars-style tags, along with built-in QR code and barcode generation. Its core feature is a client-side mathematical engine that arranges nine PVC cards per A4 sheet with precise cut-marks, reportedly generating a 50-page PDF batch in under three seconds. Because all processing happens locally in the browser, no employee or student data is sent to external servers, making it GDPR-friendly by design. The package is available on NPM under an MIT license for non-commercial use, with a paid enterprise license also offered.
