This avoids breaking shortcuts on Firefox, which rely on keypress
events instead of keydown / keyup. The tradeoff is that a barcode
cannot be scanned and interpreted if ctrl, alt or cmd is pressed.
Also don't catch function keys.
BarcodeEvents uses the fact that a barcode usually ends with \n, \r or
\t - and never contains it - to stop buffing keys as soon as such a
character is inputted instead of waiting x milliseconds.
This functionality was an attemps to fix the chair-to-keyboard
interface in the PoS. Since it is not a standard behaviour, it
must be explicitly requested.
In order to remove an eventhandler, removeEventListener must receive
the same function reference that was passed to addEventListener. So
the handlers references are kept as attributes of the class.
If the module barcodes is installed, a BarcodeEvents singleton is
automatically instanciated. It listens to keypresses and, when a
sequence of keys represents a barcode, it broadcasts a 'barcode_scanned'
event on core.bus containing the barcode string.
This new module integrate the 'Mercury Pay' electronic payment
provider with the point of sale.

In order to avoid the barcode system to work differently when migrating
from v8 to saas-6, we allow not to put a barcode nomenclature on the
picking type. When it does not have a barcode nomenclature, it uses the
same way to handle barcodes as in v8.
The module system needs to know the dependencies of a given module
before executing the function. This is why the dependencies were
defined once in an array, and then were described one more times in the
call to require.
But a trick can simplify this: the boot function can parse the string
representation of the module and extract the calls to require from it.
It is more work for the processor, but it leads to simpler module
definitions.
- Added support for UPC-A Barcodes
- Add a way to automatically convert UPC-A to and from EAN13. This
is usefull if you wish to standardise your product barcode encoding
in one standard but have a mix of the two in your merchandise.
- Various bugfixes.
