Bug 22707 introduced Koha::AutoNumber, a generic strategy framework for
patron cardnumber (and future item barcode) generation. The framework is
designed to be extended by adding new Koha::AutoNumber::* subclasses that
override _next_from() and, where needed, db_max().
Three additional strategies have been identified as useful for Koha
libraries:
1. Codabar / CLSI
The traditional North American library card standard. 14-character
format with a Codabar check character. Many libraries still hold
physical card stock in this format. Algorithm::CheckDigits supports
Codabar, making the implementation straightforward.
2. Prefixed sequential
A fixed text prefix followed by a zero-padded sequential counter,
e.g. 'LIB0001234' or 'BRANCH001'. Useful for libraries that issue
staff cards, student IDs, or branch-coded patron identifiers. Would
require one additional system preference for the prefix string.
3. Annual sequential
A year prefix followed by a sequential counter, e.g. '2026001234'.
Mirrors C4::Barcodes::annual for item barcodes. Useful for academic
libraries that issue cohort-coded patron cards.
Each strategy is a self-contained subclass; no schema changes are
required. Strategies can be implemented and submitted independently.
