What is qrcode.vue?

qrcode.vue is a Vue.js component for generating QR codes. It provides a simple and flexible way to create QR codes in your Vue applications.

What are qrcode.vue's main functionalities?

Basic QR Code Generation

This feature allows you to generate a basic QR code by providing a value (e.g., a URL) to the `qrcode-vue` component.

<template>
  <qrcode-vue value="https://example.com" />
</template>

<script>
import QrcodeVue from 'qrcode.vue';

export default {
  components: {
    QrcodeVue
  }
};
</script>

Customizing QR Code Size

You can customize the size of the QR code by setting the `size` prop.

<template>
  <qrcode-vue value="https://example.com" :size="200" />
</template>

<script>
import QrcodeVue from 'qrcode.vue';

export default {
  components: {
    QrcodeVue
  }
};
</script>

Customizing QR Code Color

This feature allows you to customize the colors of the QR code by setting the `color` prop with `dark` and `light` values.

<template>
  <qrcode-vue value="https://example.com" :color="{ dark: '#000000', light: '#ffffff' }" />
</template>

<script>
import QrcodeVue from 'qrcode.vue';

export default {
  components: {
    QrcodeVue
  }
};
</script>

e.g.

import { createApp } from 'vue'
import QrcodeVue from 'qrcode.vue'

createApp({
  data: {
    value: 'https://example.com',
  },
  template: '<qrcode-vue :value="value"></qrcode-vue>',
  components: {
    QrcodeVue,
  },
}).mount('#root')

Or single-file components with a *.vue extension:

<template>
  <qrcode-vue :value="value" :size="size" level="H" render-as="svg" />
  <qrcode-canvas :value="QRCODE.VUE 😄" :size="size" level="H" />
  <qrcode-svg value="QRCODE.VUE 😄" level="H" />
</template>
<script>
  import QrcodeVue, { QrcodeCanvas, QrcodeSvg } from 'qrcode.vue'

  export default {
    data() {
      return {
        value: 'https://example.com',
        size: 300,
      }
    },
    components: {
      QrcodeVue,
      QrcodeCanvas,
      QrcodeSvg,
    },
  }
</script>

When you use the component with Vue 3 with TypeScript:

<template>
  <qrcode-vue
    :value="value"
    :level="level"
    :render-as="renderAs"
    :background="background"
    :foreground='foreground'
    :gradient="gradient"
    :gradient-type="gradientType"
    :gradient-start-color="gradientStartColor"
    :gradient-end-color="gradientEndColor"
    :image-settings='imageSettings'
  />
</template>
<script setup lang="ts">
  import { ref } from 'vue'
  import QrcodeVue from 'qrcode.vue'
  import type { Level, RenderAs, GradientType, ImageSettings } from 'qrcode.vue'

  const value = ref('qrcode')
  const level = ref<Level>('M')
  const renderAs = ref<RenderAs>('svg')
  const background = ref('#ffffff')
  const foreground = ref('#000000')
  const margin = ref(0)
  
  const imageSettings = ref<ImageSettings>({
    src: 'https://github.com/scopewu.png',
    width: 30,
    height: 30,
    // x: 10,
    // y: 10,
    excavate: true,
  })

  const gradient = ref(false)
  const gradientType = ref<GradientType>('linear')
  const gradientStartColor = ref('#000000')
  const gradientEndColor = ref('#38bdf8')
</script>

Direct references to QrcodeVue in common.js and cdn now require the default field:

const QrcodeVue = require('qrcode.vue').default
const { default: QrcodeVue, QrcodeCanvas, QrcodeSvg } = require('qrcode.vue')
