@cheprasov/qrcode

The library is for generating QR codes like SVG, HTML5 Canvas, PNG and JPG files, or text.

Features:

The library has classes for generation SVG, Canvas, PNG / JPG or text with QR code.
it is easy to use and configure (error correction level, type number, padding and so on).
Supports inverting of data.
The library is covered by tests.
Easy to extend the classes or create own class for generation QR code.
SVG (see class QRCodeSVG)
- Returns generated QR code as SVG (xml) or DataURL.
- Optimized SVG structure for xml and for DataURL.
- Supports adding an image (logo) to QR code (allows to use url, dataUrl, Image, Canvas). See example
- Allows to specify relative/abcolute position/size of image on QR code.
Canvas (see class QRCodeCanvas)
- Draws QR code on provided canvas or returns new canvas element with QR code.
- Allows to get PNG / JPG files with QR code like dataUrl.
- Supports adding a image (logo) to QR code (allows to use url, dataUrl, Image, Canvas).
- Has image loader for images for QR code via Promise.
- It is possible to specify scale or canvas size.
- Allows to specify relative/abcolute position/size of image on QR code.
Text (see class QRCodeText)
- It is possible to create QR code for consoles or text output.

Plans to do:

To add possibility to use patterns, themes and flexible customisation of QR code.
to add support of rgb & rgba format for canvas colors.

1. How to install

> npm install @cheprasov/qrcode

import { QRCodeRaw, QRCodeSVG, QRCodeCanvas, QRCodeText } from '@cheprasov/qrcode';

2. Quick examples

2.1. Create SVG QR Code

import { QRCodeSVG } from '@cheprasov/qrcode';

const qrSVG = new QRCodeSVG('some value for QR code');
const dataUrlWithSVGQRCode = qrSVG.toDataUrl();
const xmlWithQRCode = qrSVG.toString();

2.2. Create Image QR Code

import { QRCodeCanvas } from '@cheprasov/qrcode';

const qrCanvas = new QRCodeCanvas('some value for QR code');
const dataUrlWithQRCode = qrCanvas.toDataUrl();
const canvasWithQRCode = qrCanvas.getCanvas();

2.3. QR Code with Image

import { QRCodeSVG } from '@cheprasov/qrcode';

const divElement = document.getElementById('some-id');

const qrSVG = new QRCodeSVG('https://github.com/cheprasov/js-qrcode/', {
    level: 'Q',
    image: {
        source: 'GitHub-Mark-120px-plus.png',
        width: '20%',
        height: '20%',
        x: 'center',
        y: 'center',
    },
});
divElement.innerHTML = qrSVG.toString();

Result:

Note, padding & image.border = 1 by default.

3. Documentation

3.1. class `QRCodeRaw`

The class base class for all QR code generators, returns raw data with information about QR dots and padding.

import { QRCodeRaw } from '@cheprasov/qrcode';

Public methods:

`constructor(value: string, config: object)`

Create new instance of QRCodeRaw

Params:

value (string) - new value for encoding to QR code
config (object, optional) - parameters of configuration
- level (string, optional, default = L) - error correction level. Note, the level affects QR Code data size. Allowed values:
  - L - Allows recovery of up to 7% data loss
  - M - Allows recovery of up to 15% data loss
  - Q - Allows recovery of up to 25% data loss
  - H - Allows recovery of up to 30% data loss
- typeNumber (number, optional, default = 0) - data capacity type, see details in appendix 4.1. Type number (1 ~ 40), or 0 for auto detection.
- invert (boolean, optional, default = false) - inverting data of QR code.
- padding (number, optional, default = 1) - count of white spaces on sides QR code. 1 unit has size like 1 information dot.
- errorsEnabled: (boolean, optional, default = false) - if it is enabled and QR code generator can not create a QR Code then an error will thrown. If it is disabled then methods will return null of fail.

`setValue(value: string): void`

Set new value for encoding to QR code

Params:

value (string) - new value for encoding to QR code

`getDataSize(): number`

Get size of QR code width / height (width and height are equal) Method will return 0 if QR code can not be generated by some reasons.

`getData(): boolean[][]`

Get raw data of QR code. Method will return null if QR code can not be generated by some reasons.

Example:

import { QRCodeRaw } from '@cheprasov/qrcode';

const config = {
    level: 'H', // use high error correction level
    padding: 0, // do not use padding around qr code data
};

const qrRaw = new QRCodeRaw('some value', config);
const qrCodeRaw = qrRaw.getData();
if (qrCodeRaw) {
    console.log(qrCodeRaw);
    // [
    //   0: [true, true, true, true, ... true],
    //   1: [true, false, false, false, ... true],
    //   ...
    //   24: [true, true, true, ... true],
    // ]

`draw(canvas: HTMLCanvasElement = null): null | HTMLCanvasElement| Promise`

Draws QR code on a canvas element and return the canvas if the canvas is provided, or returns a new canvas element if canvas is not provided (see getCanvas()). If QR code can not be generated then null will be returned. If config.image is provided AND config.image.source is string (url or dataUrl) then a promise will be returned with a canvas as result.

`getCanvas(): null | HTMLCanvasElement | Promise`

Example

import { QRCodeCanvas } from '@cheprasov/qrcode';

const qrCanvas = new QRCodeCanvas('some value');
const dataUrl = qrCanvas.toDataUrl();
console.log(dataUrl); // data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAA...g==

Example with promise

import { QRCodeCanvas } from '@cheprasov/qrcode';

// Example with promise
const config = {
    level: 'H', // use high error correction level
    padding: 0, // do not use padding around qr code data,
    image: {
        source: 'https://some-url.com/foo.png', // or data:image/jpeg;base64,...
        width: '10%',
        height: '10%',
        x: 'center',
        y: 'center',
    }
};

const qrCanvas = new QRCodeCanvas('some value', config);
const promise = qrCanvas.toDataUrl();
// promise is returned because image.source is a string
promise.then((dataUrl) => {
    console.log(dataUrl); // data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAAN...
