This library helps you generate QR codes in a jiffy. Makes use of [bacon/bacon-qr-code](https://github.com/Bacon/BaconQrCode)
to generate the matrix and [khanamiryan/qrcode-detector-decoder](https://github.com/khanamiryan/php-qrcode-detector-decoder)
for validating generated QR codes. Further extended with Twig extensions, generation routes, a factory and a
Symfony bundle for easy installation and configuration. Different writers are provided to generate the QR code
as PNG, SVG, EPS or in binary format.

## Installation

Use [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/) to install the library. Also make sure you have enabled and configured the
[GD extension](https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.image.php) if you want to generate images.

``` bash
$ composer require endroid/qr-code
```

## Usage: using the builder

```php
use Endroid\QrCode\Builder\Builder;
use Endroid\QrCode\Encoding\Encoding;
use Endroid\QrCode\ErrorCorrectionLevel\ErrorCorrectionLevelHigh;
use Endroid\QrCode\Label\Alignment\LabelAlignmentCenter;
use Endroid\QrCode\Label\Font\NotoSans;
use Endroid\QrCode\RoundBlockSizeMode\RoundBlockSizeModeMargin;
use Endroid\QrCode\Writer\PngWriter;

$result = Builder::create()
    ->writer(new PngWriter())
    ->writerOptions([])
    ->data('Custom QR code contents')
    ->encoding(new Encoding('UTF-8'))
    ->errorCorrectionLevel(new ErrorCorrectionLevelHigh())
    ->size(300)
    ->margin(10)
    ->roundBlockSizeMode(new RoundBlockSizeModeMargin())
    ->logoPath(__DIR__.'/assets/symfony.png')
    ->labelText('This is the label')
    ->labelFont(new NotoSans(20))
    ->labelAlignment(new LabelAlignmentCenter())
    ->build();
```

## Usage: without using the builder

```php
use Endroid\QrCode\Color\Color;
use Endroid\QrCode\Encoding\Encoding;
use Endroid\QrCode\ErrorCorrectionLevel\ErrorCorrectionLevelLow;
use Endroid\QrCode\QrCode;
use Endroid\QrCode\Label\Label;
use Endroid\QrCode\Logo\Logo;
use Endroid\QrCode\RoundBlockSizeMode\RoundBlockSizeModeMargin;
use Endroid\QrCode\Writer\PngWriter;

$writer = new PngWriter();

// Create QR code
$qrCode = QrCode::create('Data')
    ->setEncoding(new Encoding('UTF-8'))
    ->setErrorCorrectionLevel(new ErrorCorrectionLevelLow())
    ->setSize(300)
    ->setMargin(10)
    ->setRoundBlockSizeMode(new RoundBlockSizeModeMargin())
    ->setForegroundColor(new Color(0, 0, 0))
    ->setBackgroundColor(new Color(255, 255, 255));

// Create generic logo
$logo = Logo::create(__DIR__.'/assets/symfony.png')
    ->setResizeToWidth(50);

// Create generic label
$label = Label::create('Label')
    ->setTextColor(new Color(255, 0, 0));

$result = $writer->write($qrCode, $logo, $label);
```

## Usage: working with results

```php

// Directly output the QR code
header('Content-Type: '.$result->getMimeType());
echo $result->getString();

// Save it to a file
$result->saveToFile(__DIR__.'/qrcode.png');

// Generate a data URI to include image data inline (i.e. inside an <img> tag)
$dataUri = $result->getDataUri();
```

### Writer options

```php
use Endroid\QrCode\Writer\SvgWriter;

$builder->setWriterOptions([SvgWriter::WRITER_OPTION_EXCLUDE_XML_DECLARATION => true]);
```

### Encoding

If you use a barcode scanner you can have some troubles while reading the
generated QR codes. Depending on the encoding you chose you will have an extra
amount of data corresponding to the ECI block. Some barcode scanner are not
programmed to interpret this block of information. To ensure a maximum
compatibility you can use the `ISO-8859-1` encoding that is the default
encoding used by barcode scanners (if your character set supports it,
i.e. no Chinese characters are present).

### Round block size mode

By default block sizes are rounded to guarantee sharp images and improve
readability. However some other rounding variants are available.

* `margin (default)`: the size of the QR code is shrunk if necessary but the size
  of the final image remains unchanged due to additional margin being added.
* `enlarge`: the size of the QR code and the final image are enlarged when
  rounding differences occur.
* `shrink`: the size of the QR code and the final image are
  shrunk when rounding differences occur.
* `none`: No rounding. This mode can be used when blocks don't need to be rounded
  to pixels (for instance SVG).

## Readability

The readability of a QR code is primarily determined by the size, the input
length, the error correction level and any possible logo over the image so you
can tweak these parameters if you are looking for optimal results. You can also
check $qrCode->getRoundBlockSize() value to see if block dimensions are rounded
so that the image is more sharp and readable. Please note that rounding block
size can result in additional padding to compensate for the rounding difference.
And finally the encoding (default UTF-8 to support large character sets) can be
set to `ISO-8859-1` if possible to improve readability.

## Built-in validation reader

You can enable the built-in validation reader (disabled by default) by calling
setValidateResult(true). This validation reader does not guarantee that the QR
code will be readable by all readers but it helps you provide a minimum level
of quality. Take note that the validator can consume quite amount of additional
resources and it should be installed separately only if you use it.

## Symfony integration

The [endroid/qr-code-bundle](https://github.com/endroid/qr-code-bundle)
integrates the QR code library in Symfony for an even better experience.

* Configure your defaults (like image size, default writer etc.)
* Support for multiple configurations and injection via aliases
* Generate QR codes for defined configurations via URL like /qr-code/<config>/Hello
* Generate QR codes or URLs directly from Twig using dedicated functions
 
Read the [bundle documentation](https://github.com/endroid/qr-code-bundle)
for more information.
