QRious is a pure JavaScript library for generating QR codes using HTML5 canvas.
Install using the package manager for your desired environment(s):
$ npm install --save qrious
# OR:
$ bower install --save qriousIf you want to simply download the file to be used in the browser you can find them below:
- Development Version (71kb - Source Map)
- Production Version (18kb - Source Map)
Check out node-qrious if you want to install it for use within Node.js.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>

<canvas id="qr"></canvas>
<script src="/path/to/qrious.js"></script>

(function() {
var qr = new QRious({
element: document.getElementById('qr'),
value: 'https://github.com/neocotic/qrious'
});
})();
</script>

Simply create an instance of QRious and you've done most of the work. You can control many aspects of the QR code
using the following fields on your instance:
| Field | Type | Description | Default | Read Only |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| background | String | Background color of the QR code | "white" |
No |
| backgroundAlpha | Number | Background alpha of the QR code | 1.0 |
No |
| element | Element | Element to render the QR code | <canvas> |
Yes |
| foreground | String | Foreground color of the QR code | "black" |
No |
| foregroundAlpha | Number | Foreground alpha of the QR code | 1.0 |
No |
| level | String | Error correction level of the QR code (L, M, Q, H) | "L" |
No |
| mime | String | MIME type used to render the image for the QR code | "image/png" |
No |
| padding | Number | Padding for the QR code (pixels) | null (auto) |
No |
| size | Number | Size of the QR code (pixels) | 100 |
No |
| value | String | Value encoded within the QR code | "" |
No |
var qr = new QRious();
qr.background = 'green';
qr.backgroundAlpha = 0.8;
qr.foreground = 'blue';
qr.foregroundAlpha = 0.8;
qr.level = 'H';
qr.padding = 25;
qr.size = 500;
qr.value = 'https://github.com/neocotic/qrious';The QR code will automatically update when you change one of these fields, so be wary when you plan on changing lots of
fields at the same time. You probably want to make a single call to set(options) instead as it will only update the QR
code once:
var qr = new QRious();
qr.set({
background: 'green',
backgroundAlpha: 0.8,
foreground: 'blue',
foregroundAlpha: 0.8,
level: 'H',
padding: 25,
size: 500,
value: 'https://github.com/neocotic/qrious'
});These can also be passed as options to the constructor itself:
var qr = new QRious({
background: 'green',
backgroundAlpha: 0.8,
foreground: 'blue',
foregroundAlpha: 0.8,
level: 'H',
padding: 25,
size: 500,
value: 'https://github.com/neocotic/qrious'
});You can also pass in an element option to the constructor which can be used to generate the QR code using an existing
DOM element, which is the only time that you can specify read only options. element must either be a <canvas>
element or an <img> element which can then be accessed via the canvas or image fields on the instance
respectively. An element will be created for whichever one isn't provided or for both if no element is specified,
which means that they can be appended to the document at a later time.
var qr = new QRious({
element: document.querySelector('canvas'),
value: 'https://github.com/neocotic/qrious'
});
qr.canvas.parentNode.appendChild(qr.image);A reference to the QRious instance is also stored on both of the elements for convenience.
var canvas = document.querySelector('canvas');
var qr = new QRious({
element: canvas,
value: 'https://github.com/neocotic/qrious'
});
qr === canvas.qrious;
//=> trueGenerates a base64 encoded data URI for the QR code. If you don't specify a MIME type, it will default to the one
passed to the constructor as an option or the default value for the mime option.
var qr = new QRious({
value: 'https://github.com/neocotic/qrious'
});
qr.toDataURL();
//=> "data:image/png;base64,iVBOR...AIpqDnseH86KAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC"
qr.toDataURL('image/jpeg');
//=> "data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/...xqAqIqgKFAAAAAq3RRQAUUUUAf/Z"If you've been using an older major version and would like details on what's changed and information on how to migrate to the latest major release below:
