Decoding/Encoding QR Code With Pure JavaScript

Preview:

Description:

QR code encoder and decoder tools which help you quickly generate QR codes from given contents and decode QR codes from images.

How to use it:

Install the package.

# Yarn
$ yarn add @nuintun/qrcode
# NPM
$ npm install @nuintun/qrcode --save

Import modules as per your needs.

// encoder
import { Encoder, QRByte, QRKanji, ErrorCorrectionLevel } from '@nuintun/qrcode';
// decoder
import { Decoder } from '@nuintun/qrcode';

Encoder

Generate a QR code from the content you provide.

const qrcode = new Encoder();
qrcode.write('你好世界\n');
qrcode.write(new QRByte('hello world\n'));
qrcode.write(new QRKanji('こんにちは世界'));
qrcode.make();
console.log(qrcode.toDataURL());

Customize the encoder with the following methods.

// set version
qrcode.setVersion(number);
// set the error correction level
// L, M, Q, H
setErrorCorrectionLevel(level);
// set qrcode encoding hint
setEncodingHint(hint);

More possible API methods for the encoder.

// get matrix
qrcode.getMatrix();
// qet matrix size
qrcode.getMatrixSize();
// get version
qrcode.getVersion();
// get error correction level
qrcode.ggetErrorCorrectionLevel();
// get qrcode encoding hint
qrcode.getEncodingHint();
// add qrcode data
qrcode.write(QRByte | QRKanji | QRNumeric | QRAlphanumeric);
// get byte with row and col
qrcode.isDark(row: number, col: number);
// generate
qrcode.make();
// output base64 image
qrcode.toDataURL(moduleSize: number, margin: number)

Decoder:

Decode the QR code data from an image you provide.

const qrcode = new Decoder();
qrcode
  .scan('qrcode.jpg')
  .then(result => {
    console.log(result.data);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(result.data);
  });

Possible API methods.

const qrcode = new Decoder();
// set options
qrcode.setOptions({ 
  inversionAttempts: 'dontInvert' | 'onlyInvert' | 'attemptBoth' | 'invertFirst' 
});
// scan an image
qrcode.scan(src, promise);
// decode a qrcode from image data
decode(data: Uint8ClampedArray, width: number, height: number);
