API

`encode`

Encode plain text or binary data into QR Code represented by a 2D array.

import { encode } from 'uqr'

const {
  data, // 2D array of boolean, representing the QR Code
  version, // QR Code version
  size, // size of the QR Code
} = encode(text, options)

`renderANSI`

Render QR Code to ANSI colored string.

import { renderANSI } from 'uqr'

const string = renderANSI(text, options)

console.log(string)

`renderUnicode`

Render QR Code to Unicode string for each pixel. By default it uses █ and ░ to represent black and white pixels, and it can be customizable.

import { renderUnicode } from 'uqr'

const string = renderUnicode(text, {
  blackChar: '█',
  whiteChar: '░',
  // ...other options
})

`renderUnicodeCompact`

Render QR Code with two rows into one line with unicode ▀, ▄, █, . It is useful when you want to display QR Code in terminal with limited height.

import { renderUnicodeCompact } from 'uqr'

const string = renderUnicodeCompact(text, options)

console.log(string)

`renderSVG`

Render QR Code to SVG string.

import { renderSVG } from 'uqr'

const string = renderSVG(text, options)
