[![Ruby Style Guide](https://img.shields.io/badge/code_style-standard-brightgreen.svg)](https://github.com/testdouble/standard)# RQRCodeCore
`rqrcode_core` is a library for encoding QR Codes in pure Ruby. It has a simple interface with all the standard qrcode options. It was originally adapted in 2008 from a Javascript library by [Kazuhiko Arase](https://github.com/kazuhikoarase).
Features:
* `rqrcode_core` is a Ruby only library. It requires no 3rd party libraries. Just Ruby!
* It is an encoding library. You can't decode QR Codes with it.
* The interface is simple and assumes you just want to encode a string into a QR Code, but also allows for encoding multiple segments.
* QR Code is trademarked by Denso Wave inc.
* Minimum Ruby version is `>= 3.0.0``rqrcode_core` is the basis of the popular `rqrcode` gem [https://github.com/whomwah/rqrcode]. This gem allows you to generate different renderings of your QR Code, including `png`, `svg` and `ansi`.
## Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
```ruby
gem "rqrcode_core"
```And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install rqrcode_core
## Basic Usage
```ruby
$ require "rqrcode_core"
$ qr = RQRCodeCore::QRCode.new("https://kyan.com")
$ puts qr.to_s
```Output:
```
xxxxxxx x x x x x xx xxxxxxx
x x xxx xxxxxx xxx x x
x xxx x xxxxx x xx x xxx x
... etc
```## Multiple Encoding Support
```ruby
$ require "rqrcode_core"
$ qr = RQRCodeCore::QRCode.new([
{data: "byteencoded", mode: :byte_8bit},
{data: "A1" * 100, mode: :alphanumeric},
{data: "1" * 500, mode: :number}
])
```This will create a QR Code with byte encoded, alphanumeric and number segments. Any combination of encodings/segments will work provided it fits within size limits.
## Doing your own rendering
```ruby
require "rqrcode_core"qr = RQRCodeCore::QRCode.new("https://kyan.com")
qr.modules.each do |row|
row.each do |col|
print col ? "#" : " "
endprint "\n"
end
```### Options
The library expects a string or array (for multiple encodings) to be parsed in, other args are optional.
```
data - the string or array you wish to encodesize - the size (integer) of the QR Code (defaults to smallest size needed to encode the string)
max_size - the max_size (Integer) of the QR Code (default RQRCodeCore::QRUtil.max_size)
level - the error correction level, can be:
* Level :l 7% of code can be restored
* Level :m 15% of code can be restored
* Level :q 25% of code can be restored
* Level :h 30% of code can be restored (default :h)mode - the mode of the QR Code (defaults to alphanumeric or byte_8bit, depending on the input data, only used when data is a string):
* :number
* :alphanumeric
* :byte_8bit
* :kanji
```#### Example
```ruby
RQRCodeCore::QRCode.new("http://kyan.com", size: 2, level: :m, mode: :byte_8bit)
```## Development
### Tests
You can run the test suite using:
```
$ ./bin/setup
$ rake
```or try the project from the console with:
```
$ ./bin/console
```### Linting
The project uses [standardrb](https://github.com/testdouble/standard) and can be run with:
```
$ ./bin/setup
$ rake standard # check
$ rake standard:fix # fix
```## Experimental
On 64 bit systems when generating lots of QR Codes the lib will consume more memory than on a 32 bit systems during the internal "right shift zero fill" steps (this is expected). In tests though, it's shown that by forcing the lib to think you're on a 32 systems greatly reduces the memory footprint. This could of course have undesired consequences too! but if you're happy to try, you can use the `RQRCODE_CORE_ARCH_BITS` ENV to make this change. e.g `RQRCODE_CORE_ARCH_BITS=32`.
