How to display product barcode (NOT SKU) on front end (Dawn 2.0 theme)?

I need a way to show the product barcode on the front end product pages of my website. I do not want to display my SKU numbers. 

 

Does anyone have any experience with this and where/how to edit the code?

Here it is- just go to your normal theme editor (not code). 

 

go to product --> default product--> in the template section hit add block, select </> custom liquid. Enter the code {{ product.variants[0].barcode }}

This is bad code. You should be using

 

 

{{ product.selected_or_first_available_variant.barcode }}

 

 

to get this kind of data out for display on the product page. Actually, whenever you need to display product data that's linked to a variant you should be using that, this is because it will interact properly for products with options as well when a variant is selected or linked to via query string. The code above will only ever show the barcode for the first variant, even if the customer has selected a different option.
