A barcode generator

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Just that I would like to fake barcodes

If you're adding new objects, please describe how you would use them

I would use them for products

Describe alternatives you've considered

I can generate random numbers. A UPC code is 12 digits.

Additional context

My project deals with products. Prices, product names, barcodes, costs, SKUs, colors, sizes, country of origin, currency, weights, etc.

@sudeeptarlekar I would look at the wikipedia UPC article on numbering https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Product_Code#Numbering and variations (right below numbering). UPC isn't the only standard though. There's ISBN https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Standard_Book_Number and EAN and if you're selling products on Amazon then there's ASIN. I just learned of something called a GTIN. Anyway, I think UPC are the most common.

Well this seems little research here as I never worked on barcodes, and there is some logic involved in generating correct barcode check digit(at least for UPC-A).
Will do some reading and refer some docs then work on PR

@sudeeptarlekar Thank you. Yes, a bit of logic which is one reason why I think there ought to be a specific class for it. For my application it doesn't verify their validity so it isn't a problem but for others they likely do verify.
