A library and command-line utility for generating QR codes with embedded wifi credentials
Wifi QR codes are readable by iOS 11+ and Android 10+ devices. The QR codes embed the network SSID, auth type, and password, making it easy to share credentials with guests, for example. Long passwords can be deployed and shared easily with this method.
npm install -g wifi-qr
Providing a password via command-line argument:
wifi-qr --ssid "my network ssid" --password "my network password" --type wpa qr.png
Providing a password via stdin:
echo "my network password" > password.txt
wifi-qr --ssid "my network ssid" --type wpa qr.png < password.txt
SVG and PNG output formats are supported.
Run wifi-qr --help for more information about the command-line interface.
Compile Typescript:
npm run compile
