What are react-qr-code's main functionalities?

Basic QR Code Generation

This feature allows you to generate a basic QR code by providing a URL or text string. The QR code is rendered as an image in the React component.

import React from 'react';
import QRCode from 'react-qr-code';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <QRCode value="https://example.com" />
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

Customizing QR Code Size

This feature allows you to customize the size of the QR code by specifying the 'size' prop. The QR code will be rendered with the specified dimensions.

import React from 'react';
import QRCode from 'react-qr-code';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <QRCode value="https://example.com" size={256} />
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;

Customizing QR Code Colors

This feature allows you to customize the foreground and background colors of the QR code by specifying the 'fgColor' and 'bgColor' props.

import React from 'react';
import QRCode from 'react-qr-code';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <QRCode value="https://example.com" fgColor="#0000ff" bgColor="#ffffff" />
    </div>
  );
};

export default App;
