## Features

- Compatible with **Angular** and Ionic
- Ivy compiler support, AOT, SSR (Server Side Rendering)
- Under active development
- Accessibility (a11y) attributes supported (alt, aria-label, title)
- Support for images
- Trusted and used by thousands of developers like you

`angularx-qrcode` is compatible with Ionic 3/4/5/6/7/8 and Angular 4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17/18+ with support for the Ivy compiler. It is a drop-in replacement for the no-longer-maintained angular component ng2-qrcode and based on node-qrcode.

# Demo App

**[Working online demo of Angular QR Code Generator](https://cordobo.github.io/angularx-qrcode/)**

The source for the demo angular app is available in [`projects/demo-app`](projects/demo-app). Run the command

```
npm start
```

and open the url `http://localhost:4200/` in your browser

# Usage and Example Implementations

The source for **[a live angularx-qrcode demo app](https://cordobo.github.io/angularx-qrcode/)** and more examples how to implement angularx-qrcode is in the folder [`projects/demo-app`](projects/demo-app/src/app) in this repository.

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

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

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

```
// File: app.component.html
// all your HTML...

```

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

Now that angular/Ionic know 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.

```

```

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

In addition to our ``-directive in `app.component.html`,
lets add two lines of code to our controller `app.component.ts`.

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

// File: app.component.html

```

### Download a QR Code

The [online demo](https://cordobo.github.io/angularx-qrcode/) contains a [`working sample`](projects/demo-app) how to download the QR Code with a button.

### Getting the QR Code URL

To download the QR Code, we have to use the `qrCodeURL` attribute
of the `` which returns a sanitized URL representing the
location of the QR Code.

```
// File: example.ts
export class QRCodeComponent {
public myAngularxQrCode: string = "";
public qrCodeDownloadLink: SafeUrl = "";

constructor () {
this.myAngularxQrCode = 'Your QR code data string';
}

onChangeURL(url: SafeUrl) {
this.qrCodeDownloadLink = url;
}
}

// File: example.html

Download
```

The file format obtained by `qrCodeURL` depends directly on the
elementType of ``. If it's either canvas, url or image,
it returns an image as `.png`, if it's svg, returns a `.svg` file.

## Available Parameters

| Attribute | Type | Default | Description |
| -------------------- | ----------------------- | ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| allowEmptyString | Boolean | false | Allow qrdata to be an empty string |
| alt | String | null | HTML alt attribute (supported by img, url) |
| ariaLabel | String | null | HTML aria-label attribute (supported by canvas, img, url) |
| colorDark | String | '#000000ff' | RGBA color, color of dark module (foreground) |
| colorLight | String | '#ffffffff' | RGBA color, color of light module (background) |
| cssClass | String | 'qrcode' | CSS Class |
| elementType | String | 'canvas' | 'canvas', 'svg', 'img', 'url' (alias for 'img') |
| errorCorrectionLevel | String | 'M' | QR Correction level ('L', 'M', 'Q', 'H') |
| imageSrc | String | null | Link to your image |
| imageHeight | Number | null | height of your image |
| imageWidth | Number | null | width of your image |
| margin | Number | 4 | Define how much wide the quiet zone should be. |
| qrCodeURL | EventEmitter\ | | Returns the QR Code URL |
| qrdata | String | '' | String to encode |
| scale | Number | 4 | Scale factor. A value of 1 means 1px per modules (black dots). |
| title | String | null | HTML title attribute (supported by canvas, img, url) |
| version | Number | (auto) | 1-40 |
| width | Number | 10 | Height/Width (any value) |

## QR Code capacity

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)
