A small class for decoding the values returned when scanning a barcode with the cheaply available cuecat scanner.

gem install cuecat

puts CueCat.valid?(".C3nZC3nZC3n2CNjXCNz0DxnY.cGen.ENr7CNT3Chz3ENj1CG.")
=> true

puts CueCat.ean?(".C3nZC3nZC3n2CNjXCNz0DxnY.cGen.ENr7CNT3Chz3ENj1CG.")
=> true

code = CueCat.new(".C3nZC3nZC3n2CNjXCNz0DxnY.cGen.ENr7CNT3Chz3ENj1CG.")
puts code.code_type

=> "IBN"
puts code.id

=> "000000005112157601"
puts code.value
