Basic QR Code Generation

This feature allows you to generate a basic QR code with a given value. The value can be any string, such as a URL, text, or other data.

const BasicQRCode = () => (
  <QRCode
    value="https://example.com"

  <QRCode
    value="https://example.com"
    size={200}
    color="blue"

const LogoQRCode = () => (
  <QRCode
    value="https://example.com"
    logo={{ uri: 'https://example.com/logo.png' }}
    logoSize={30}
    logoBackgroundColor="transparent"
  />

color	'black'	Color of the QR code
logo	null	Image source object. Ex. {uri: 'base64string'} or {require('pathToImage')}
