| 2018-10-20 | https://github.com/nayuki/QR-Code-generator.git integrated by [Tom Sutcliffe](https://github.com/tomsci) | [Tom Sutcliffe](https://github.com/tomsci) | [qrcodegen.c](../../../components/modules/qrcodegen.c)|
|
|
|
|
This module wraps the [QR Code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code) Generator API written in C by https://github.com/nayuki/QR-Code-generator.git for producing a QR Code.
|
|
|
|
## qrcodegen.encodeText()
|
|
Generates a QR Code from a text string. In the most optimistic case, a QR Code at version 40 with low ECC can hold any UTF-8 string up to 2953 bytes, or any alphanumeric string up to 4296 characters, or any digit string up to 7089 characters.
|
|
|
|
#### Syntax
|
|
`qrcodegen.encodeText(text, [options])`
|
|
|
|
#### Parameters
|
|
- `text` The text or URL to encode. Should be UTF-8 or ASCII.
|
|
- `options` An optional table, containing any of:
|
|
- `minver` the minimum version according to the QR Code Model 2 standard. If not specified, defaults to `1`.
|
|
- `maxver` the maximum version according to the QR Code Model 2 standard. If not specified, defaults to `40`. Specifying a lower maximum version reduces the amount of temporary memory the function requires, so it can be worthwhile to specify a smaller value if you know the `text` will fit in a lower-version QR Code.
|
|
- `ecl` the error correction level in a QR Code symbol. Higher error correction produces a larger QR Code. One of:
|
|
- `qrcodegen.LOW` (default if not specified)
|
|
- `qrcodegen.MEDIUM`
|
|
- `qrcodegen.QUARTILE`
|
|
- `qrcodegen.HIGH`
|
|
- `mask` the mask pattern used in a QR Code symbol. An integer 0-7, or `qrcodegen.AUTO` (the default).
|
|
- `boostecl` defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
#### Returns
|
|
The QR Code, encoded as a string. Use `qrcodegen.getSize()` and `qrcodegen.getPixel()` to extract data from the result. If the text cannot be represented within the given version range (for example it is too long) then `nil` is returned.
|
|
|
|
#### Example
|
|
```lua
|
|
qrcode = qrcodegen.encodeText("https://nodemcu.readthedocs.io/", {minver=1, maxver=4})
|
|
print("Size:", qrcodegen.getSize(qrcode))
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## qrcodegen.getSize()
|
|
|
|
#### Syntax
|
|
`qrcodegen.getSize(qrcode)`
|
|
|
|
#### Parameters
|
|
- `qrcode` a QR Code string, as returned by `qrcodegen.encodeText()`.
|
|
|
|
#### Returns
|
|
Returns the side length in pixels of the given QR Code. The result is in the range [21, 177].
|
|
|
|
## qrcodegen.getPixel(qrcode, x, y)
|
|
Get the color of the pixel at the given coordinates of the QR Code. `x` and `y` must be between `0` and the value returned by `qrcodegen.getSize()`.
|
|
|
|
#### Parameters
|
|
- `qrcode` a QR Code string, as returned by `qrcodegen.encodeText()`.
|
|
- `x`
|
|
- `y`
|
|
|
|
#### Returns
|
|
`true` if the given pixel is black, `false` if it is white.
|
|
|
|
#### Example
|
|
```lua
|
|
qrcode = qrcodegen.encodeText("https://nodemcu.readthedocs.io/", {maxver=4})
|
|
size = qrcodegen.getSize(qrcode)
|
|
for y = 0, size-1 do
|
|
local row = {}
|
|
for x = 0, size-1 do
|
|
row[x + 1] = qrcodegen.getPixel(x, y) and "*" or " "
|
|
end
|
|
print(table.concat(row))
|
|
end
|
|
```
