# qr-io
Minimal app for reproducing and sharing QR codes.
the app Git Pages hosted.
**TL;DR:** `python -mhttp.server -d docs 8088`
## Use cases
The app has two foreseen usages simple (without server) and
complex (with server).
### Simple
The elementary usecase is to just scan and show the QR for further scanning.
### Complex with Config
In this case it is expected that you have a server listening on some web URL and is using either **WebSocket** or plain **HTTP POST**.
> **Note:** such server is included in this repo and with help of [ngrok.com](https://ngrok.com/) you can run demo server right from your desktop. See instructions below [Receiving Server](#receiving-sever)
## How to configure
In case you want to configure the server you can create simple QR code containing simple JSON structure (Note: the single and double quotes matter).
### QREncode simple config
The following is a minimal self configured server url.
```bash
# create endpoint and show url
ngrok http 8080
# make config QR from that url
qrencode -t UTF-8 '{"mode":"auto-send","url":"https://.ngrok.io"}'
```
### Receiving sever
The more complete example below is showing how to start **ngrok** with nodejs server and handle all the configuration within your browser.
```bash
# create endpoint and show url
ngrok http 8080
# install deps
yarn
# start server at port 8080 it will read the ngrok info automatically
yarn server
# open http://localhost:8080
# it will show config url (a json inside QR)
# read it by https://pexmor.github.io/qr-io/ -> button "config"
# after that every scanned QR is sent over to http://localhost:8080 page
```
## Sub licenses
This simple but usabe QR i/o project would not be possible without other libraries. These used in browser are listed below. There some other used by server to check those please have a look at [package.json](package.json).

## Final notes
Ideas:
- [py/01_easyocr.py](py/01_easyocr.py) - OCR experiment on image postprocessing at the server
- - another OCR experiment, hosted in your browser
