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.

    • customize (only png) — function to customize qr bitmap before encoding to PNG.
