Methods

• qr.image(text, [ec_level | options]) — Readable stream with image data;
• qr.imageSync(text, [ec_level | options]) — string with image data. (Buffer for png);
• qr.svgObject(text, [ec_level | options]) — object with SVG path and size;
• qr.matrix(text, [ec_level]) — 2D array of booleans. Y is indexed first (e.g. [y][x] NOT [x][y]), [0][0] is the top left, and true means black.

Options

• text — text to encode;
• ec_level — error correction level. One of L, M, Q, H. Default M.

  • ec_level — default M.
  • type — image type. Possible values png (default), svg, pdf and eps.
  • size (png and svg only) — size of one module in pixels. Default 5 for png and undefined for svg.
  • margin — white space around QR image in modules. Default 4 for png and 1 for others.
  • customize (only png) — function to customize qr bitmap before encoding to PNG.
