npm package: @moukail/angular-qrcode
Description: Simple QRCode module generator for Angular9+
Author: Andreas Jacob
Latest version: 9.0.0

# angularx-qrcode
`angularx-qrcode` is a fast and easy-to-use Ionic 3 and Angular4-9 QR Code component/module library to generate QR Codes (Quick Response) in your Ionic and Angular 4/5/6/7/8/9 app with support for AOT. It is a drop-in replacement for the no-longer-maintained angular2 component `ng2-qrcode` and based on node-qrcode.

## Demo App

An Angular app with a working implementation of angularx-qrcode is available on 
[github.com/Cordobo/angularx-qrcode-sample-app](https://github.com/Cordobo/angularx-qrcode-sample-app).

## Install angularx-qrcode 2.x with Angular 6/7/8/9

```
# Angular 6/7/8/9 and Ionic
npm install angularx-qrcode --save
# Or use yarn
yarn add angularx-qrcode
```

## Older Angular Versions
```
# Angular 5
npm install angularx-qrcode@1.6.4 --save
# Angular 4
npm install angularx-qrcode@1.0.3 --save
```

## New in angularx-qrcode 2.x

angularx-qrcode is now based on node-qrcode and as a result ships  a couple of new features (keeping all the known features)

* Add your CSS class with `cssClass`
* New `elementType` field: `url`, `img` and `canvas` 
* New `margin` field. Define how much wide the quiet zone should be.
* New `scale`, scale factor. A value of 1 means 1px per modules (black dots). 
* New `version` field. QR Code version. If not specified the more suitable value will be calculated.

## Upgrade from 1.x to 2.x

Upgrading should be simple. If any field you use, angularx-qrcode logs warnings to your browser console, telling you which fields should be renamed.

### Old code in 1.x

```
<qrcode [qrdata]="'Your data'" [size]="256" [level]="'M'"></qrcode>
```

### New code in 2.x

```
<qrcode [qrdata]="'Your data'" [width]="256" [errorCorrectionLevel]="'M'"></qrcode>
```

| Deprecated | New |
| -----------|-------------|
| colordark      | colorDark |
| colorlight     | colorLight |
| level | errorCorrectionLevel |
| size | width |
| usesvg | elementType |

## Basic Usage

### Import the module and add it to your imports section in your main AppModule:

```
// File: app.module.ts
// all your imports
import { QRCodeModule } from 'angularx-qrcode';

@NgModule({
declarations: [
  AppComponent
],
imports: [
  QRCodeModule
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
```

## Examples: How to implement angularx-qrcode

### Generate a QR Code from a string (directive only)

Now that Angular/Ionic knows about the new QR Code module,
let's invoke it from our template with a directive.
If we use a simple text-string, we need no additional
code in our controller.

```
<qrcode [qrdata]="'Your data string'" [width]="256" [errorCorrectionLevel]="'M'"></qrcode>
```

### Create a QR Code from a variable in your controller

In addition to our `<qrcode>`-directive in `example.html`,
lets add two lines of code to our controller `example.ts`.

```
// File: example.ts
export class QRCodeComponent {
  public myAngularxQrCode: string = null;
  constructor () {
    // assign a value
    this.myAngularxQrCode = 'Your QR code data string';
  }
}

// File: example.html
<qrcode [qrdata]="myAngularxQrCode" [width]="256" [errorCorrectionLevel]="'M'"></qrcode>
```

## Parameters

| Attribute        | Type           | Default | Description  |
| ------------- |-------------| -----|------------|
| allowEmptyString      | Boolean | false     | Allow empty string |
| colorDark      | String | '#000000ff'     | RGBA color, color of dark module |
| colorLight      | String | '#ffffffff'     | RGBA color, color of light module |
| cssClass      | String | 'qrcode'     | CSS Class |
| elementType      | String | 'canvas'     | 'url', 'img' or 'canvas' |
| errorCorrectionLevel | String | 'M'    | QR Correction level ('L', 'M', 'Q', 'H') |
| margin      | Number | 4 | Define how much wide the quiet zone should be. |
| qrdata      | String | '' | String to encode |
| scale      | Number | 4 | Scale factor. A value of 1 means 1px per modules (black dots). |
| version      | Number | (auto)     | 1-40 |
| width      | Number | 10     | Height/Width (any value) |


| Deprecated  | | | New value |
| ------------- |-------------| -----|------------|
| colordark      | String | '#000000'     | colorDark |
| colorlight      | String | '#ffffff'     | colorLight |
| level | String | 'M'    | errorCorrectionLevel |
| size      | Number | 256     | width |
| usesvg      | Boolean | false     | elementType |

### Note
Depending on the amount of data of the *qrdata* to encode, a minimum *width* is required.


## AOT - Ahead Of Time Compilation
`angularx-qrcode` supports AOT Compilation (Ahead-of-Time Compilation) which results in significant faster rendering. An AOT-enabled module is included. Further reading: https://angular.io/guide/aot-compiler


## SSR - Server Side Rendering

As of version 1.6.0, SSR support is fully implemented, the following workaround is no longer needed. [HowTo use Angular QRCode with SSR](https://github.com/Cordobo/angularx-qrcode/issues/5)
