Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. There is a feature in CyberChef to generate QR codes. I would appreciate if there was a feature to generate also other such codes, bar codes in this case.

Describe the solution you'd like There is a javascript library to perform the task not needing any additional libraries - JsBarcode. I am unaware though how to implement it not being aware of the CyberChef background.

Describe alternatives you've considered N/A

Additional context N/A

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a new CyberChef operation that uses the JsBarcode library to generate barcodes from input text. Start by understanding the existing operation structure in the source code, then add a new operation following the pattern of the QR code generation operation.
