qrcode-terminal-alpha

QRCode Terminal Edition

Going where no QRCode has gone before.

Notice

Just pre release of qrcode-terminal. For most case I suggest you to continually use qrcode-terminal.

Node Library

Install

Can be installed with:

$ npm install qrcode-terminal-alpha

and used:

var qrcode = require('qrcode-terminal-alpha');

Usage

To display some data to the terminal just call:

qrcode.generate('This will be a QRCode, eh!');

You can even specify the error level (default is 'L'):

qrcode.setErrorLevel('Q');
qrcode.generate('This will be a QRCode with error level Q!');

If you don't want to display to the terminal but just want to string you can provide a callback:

qrcode.generate('http://github.com', function (qrcode) {
    console.log(qrcode);
});

If you want to display small output, provide opts with small:

qrcode.generate('This will be a small QRCode, eh!', {small: true});

qrcode.generate('This will be a small QRCode, eh!', {small: true}, function (qrcode) {
    console.log(qrcode)
});

Command-Line

Install

$ npm install -g qrcode-terminal-alpha

Usage

$ qrcode-terminal --help
$ qrcode-terminal 'http://github.com'
