```js
const { QRCodeStyling } = require('qr-code-styling/lib/qr-code-styling.common.js');
const nodeCanvas = require('canvas');
const fs = require('fs');

const qrCode = new QRCodeStyling({
    nodeCanvas, // this is required
    width: 300,
    height: 300,
    data: "https://www.facebook.com/",
    image: "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/Facebook_f_logo_%282019%29.svg",
    dotsOptions: {
        color: "#4267b2",
        type: "rounded"
    },
    backgroundOptions: {
        color: "#e9ebee",
    },
    imageOptions: {
        crossOrigin: "anonymous",
        margin: 20
    }
});

qrCode.download({ buffer: true }).then((buffer) => {
  fs.writeFileSync('test.png', buffer);
});

```
