dotsOptions | object | |Dots styling options
cornersSquareOptions | object | |Square in the corners styling options
cornersDotOptions | object | |Dots in the corners styling options
backgroundOptions | object | |QR background styling options
nodeCanvas | node-canvas | |Only specify when running on a node server for canvas type, please refer to node section below
jsDom | jsdom | |Only specify when running on a node server for svg type, please refer to node section below
`options.qrOptions` structure
Property |Type |Default Value
--------------------|--------------------------------------------------|-------------
typeNumber |number (`0 - 40`) |`0`
mode |string (`'Numeric' 'Alphanumeric' 'Byte' 'Kanji'`)|
errorCorrectionLevel|string (`'L' 'M' 'Q' 'H'`) |`'Q'`
`options.imageOptions` structure
Property |Type | Default Value |Description
------------------|---------------------------------------|---------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hideBackgroundDots|boolean | `true` |Hide all dots covered by the image
imageSize |number | `0.4` |Coefficient of the image size. Not recommended to use ove 0.5. Lower is better

crossOrigin |string(`'anonymous' 'use-credentials'`)| |Set "anonymous" if you want to download QR code from other origins.
saveAsBlob |boolean | `true` |Saves image as base64 blob in svg type, see bellow
When QR type is svg, the image may not load in certain applications as it is saved as a url, and some svg applications will not render url images for security reasons. Setting `saveAsBlob` to true will instead save the image as a blob, allowing it to render correctly in more places, but will also increase the file size.

const extension = (svg, options) => {
const { width, height } = options;
const size = Math.min(width, height);
const border = document.createElementNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/svg", "rect");
const borderAttributes = {
"fill": "none",
"x": (width - size + 40) / 2,

"width": size - 40,
"height": size - 40,
"stroke": 'black',
"stroke-width": 40,

### Building this repo
If you get an error running `npm install` referring to `node-pre-gyp`, this is caused by an attempt to compile the [`canvas` dependency](https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas#compiling). See Compiling instructions in the README. For example on MacOS you need to install dependencies: `brew install pkg-config cairo pango libpng jpeg giflib librsvg pixman`.
### Node Support
You can use this on a node server by passing through the node-canvas or jsdom object depending if your creating a non-svg or svg respectively. You must pass both if using `imageOptions.saveAsBlob`.
Calling `getRawData` in node will return a Buffer instead of a Blob.
```js
const { QRCodeStyling } = require("qr-code-styling/lib/qr-code-styling.common.js");
const nodeCanvas = require("canvas");
const { JSDOM } = require("jsdom");
const fs = require("fs");
const options = {
width: 300,
height: 300,
data: "https://www.facebook.com/",
image: "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/Facebook_f_logo_%282019%29.svg",
dotsOptions: {
color: "#4267b2",
type: "rounded"
},
backgroundOptions: {
color: "#e9ebee",
},
imageOptions: {
crossOrigin: "anonymous",
margin: 20
}
}
// For canvas type
const qrCodeImage = new QRCodeStyling({
jsdom: JSDOM, // this is required
nodeCanvas, // this is required,
...options,
imageOptions: {
saveAsBlob: true,
crossOrigin: "anonymous",
margin: 20
},
});
qrCodeImage.getRawData("png").then((buffer) => {
fs.writeFileSync("test.png", buffer);
});
// For svg type
const qrCodeSvg = new QRCodeStyling({
jsdom: JSDOM, // this is required
type: "svg",
...options
});
qrCodeSvg.getRawData("svg").then((buffer) => {
fs.writeFileSync("test.svg", buffer);
});
// For svg type with the inner-image saved as a blob
// (inner-image will render in more places but file will be larger)
const qrCodeSvgWithBlobImage = new QRCodeStyling({
jsdom: JSDOM, // this is required
nodeCanvas, // this is required
type: "svg",
...options,
imageOptions: {
saveAsBlob: true,
crossOrigin: "anonymous",
margin: 20
}
});
qrCodeSvgWithBlobImage.getRawData("svg").then((buffer) => {
fs.writeFileSync("test_blob.svg", buffer);
});
