Label Definition Builder

Defined under the namespace Scandit.Datacapture.Label

LabelDefinitionBuilder
class LabelDefinitionBuilder

Added in version 7.2.0

A fluent builder class for creating LabelDefinition objects with a convenient, chainable interface. This builder provides methods to add various field types (barcodes, text fields, dates) and configure their properties in a structured manner.

The LabelDefinitionBuilder enables you to construct complex label definitions by adding multiple field types:

  • Barcode Fields - Serial numbers, part numbers, IMEI codes, custom barcodes

  • Text Fields - Unit prices, total prices, weight information, custom text, date fields (for example, packing dates, expiry dates with configurable formats)

Each field can be configured with validation patterns, optional status, and symbology settings where applicable. The builder pattern ensures type safety and provides a clear, readable way to define label structures.

Note

This builder is the recommended approach for creating label definitions as it provides better type safety and readability compared to manual construction.
