Certainly. There are no patches attached to bug 26777 so I think you're good to
go.

For what it's worth, I've already implemented something like this as a Koha
plugin. I haven't shared it publicly yet, but I certainly could if you'd find
it useful.

With the Koha plugin, all I'm doing is adding REST API endpoint to provide the
user's barcode as an image. (Note: for security only authenticated users can
use the endpoint, and authenticated users can only fetch their own barcode.)

In my favourite implementation, in the OpacUserJS, I detect if the user is
logged in; if they are logged in, I show a little barcode image icon next to
their "My Account" image in the top right corner of the screen. If they click
that barcode image, a modal appears that shows their barcode. (I'll attach a
screenshot to illustrate this.)

In the past, we had a "Barcode" tab on opac-user.pl, but the advantage of the
barcode icon in the header is that they can access their barcode from any OPAC
page. 

I don't think there's any 1 right solution here, so I'm curious to see yours! I
think this is a very valuable feature to have in core.

I'm a public library user, and I'm grateful to my libraries that have a "my
barcode" feature (typically in an app). I use it all the time.
