Play with Awesome-qr.js

Note: Module 'awesome-qr' on npmjs has been totally changed after v1.2.0.

α. Use in Node.js (on server side)

IMPORTANT: Awesome-qr.js uses node-canvas to draw the generated QR code image, so before running the npm install ... command, you really should take a carefully look at its documentation to ensure that node-canvas will work on your server correctly.

npm install awesome-qr --save

Before V1.2.0, Awesome-qr.js was NOT designed for servers running Node.js. Therefore, please do NOT use npm to install versions below V1.2.0 on your server, you may get a painful error otherwise.

let AwesomeQR = require('awesome-qr');

new AwesomeQR().create({
    text: 'Makito loves Kafuu Chino.',
    size: 500,
    callback: (data) => {
        // binary PNG data
    },
});

β. Use in the browser

Note: There's no need to use npmjs. We just need require.js here.

Copy JavaScript files under dist/ to a appropriate place, for example – js/.

The file structure might look like the tree below:

|- ...
|- index.html
|- js
    |- awesome-qr.js
    |- gif.js
    |- gif.worker.js
    |- require.js
|- ...

Import require.js:

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/require.js"></script>

Then, require awesome-qr.js:

// This will specify the base path for awesome-qr.js, gif.js, and gif.worker.js.
// In the case showed above, the base path should be "js".
// The variable's name should NOT be changed.
var __awesome_qr_base_path = 'js';

// require awesome-qr.js
require([__awesome_qr_base_path + '/awesome-qr'], function (AwesomeQR) {
    // ... and make use of it
    AwesomeQR.create({
        text: 'Makito loves Kafuu Chino.',
        size: 800,
        margin: 20,
        bindElement: 'qrcode',
    });
});

More examples

1. With a background image

α. Use in Node.js (on server side)
let request = require('request');
let AwesomeQR = require('awesome-qr');
const { Image } = require('canvas');

let options = {
    url: 'https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/5277268?s=460&v=4',
    method: 'GET',
    encoding: null,
    // ^ this is necessary since we are not going to
    //   get the image as a string.
};

request.get(options, (error, response, body) => {
    if (!error && response.statusCode === 200) {
        // load the background image
        let backgroundImage = new Image();
        backgroundImage.src = body;

        new AwesomeQR().create({
            text: 'Makito loves Kafuu Chino.',
            size: 500,
            backgroundImage: backgroundImage,
            autoColor: true,
            callback: (data) => {
                if (data === undefined) {
                    console.log('failed to generate the QR code');
                } else {
                    // play with binary PNG data
                }
            },
        });
    } else {
        console.log('failed to get the background image');
    }
});

Note: Background images other than PNG is not supported under Node.js mode. You may get a Error: Image given has not completed loading error if you are using other image formats.

β. Use in the browser
var img = new Image();
img.crossOrigin = 'Anonymous';
img.onload = () => {
    AwesomeQR.create({
        text: 'Makito loves Kafuu Chino.',
        size: 800,
        margin: 20,
        backgroundImage: img,
        bindElement: 'qrcode',
    });
};
img.src = 'https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/5277268?s=460&v=4';

Note that the Image loads images asynchronously; that is to say, you will need to set a callback in order to use the image after it has finished loading. For more information, please follow the issue #8.

2. With a logo image at center

α. Use in Node.js (on server side)

Not yet supported.

β. Use in the browser
var logo = new Image();
logo.crossOrigin = 'Anonymous';
logo.onload = () => {
    AwesomeQR.create({
        text: 'Makito loves Kafuu Chino.',
        size: 800,
        margin: 20,
        logoImage: logo,
        bindElement: 'qrcode',
    });
};
logo.src = 'https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/5277268?s=460&v=4';

3. Use a GIF image as background

α. Use in Node.js (on server side)

Not yet supported.

β. Use in the browser

Note that the option gifBackground only accepts ArrayBuffer, which represents a GIF image's data. Some conversions need to be done before generating the QR code.

// initialize a FileReader
var r = new FileReader();

// set up an onload listener
r.onload = function (e) {
    // get the ArrayBuffer
    var ab = e.target.result;

    AwesomeQR.create({
        text: 'Makito loves Kafuu Chino.',
        size: 800,
        margin: 20,
        gifBackground: ab,
        // ^ use the ArrayBuffer
        bindElement: 'qrcode',
    });
};

// read as ArrayBuffer
r.readAsArrayBuffer(file);

When gifBackground is in use, the backgroundImage option will be ignored.

It usually takes a longer time to decode and encode the GIF, and generate an animated QR code, but it depends on the size of the input file.
