    • and supports custom modes for special requirements;

Basic Usage

See the Quickstart documentation for NodeJS / Browser / React / Preact / CLI usage.

npm install --save lean-qr
<canvas id="my-qr-code" />

<style>
#my-qr-code {
  image-rendering: pixelated;
  width: 100%;
}
</style>
import { generate } from 'lean-qr';

const qrCode = generate('LEAN-QR LIBRARY');
qrCode.toCanvas(document.getElementById('my-qr-code'));

Troubleshooting

Jest / JSDOM error: "TextEncoder is not defined"

There is a bug in JSDOM which prevents this class being available in tests. This issue only affects JSDOM, and can be fixed with:

import { TextEncoder, TextDecoder } from 'node:util';
global.TextEncoder = TextEncoder;
global.TextDecoder = TextDecoder;

You can put this in the test file or in Jest's setupFilesAfterEnv config. You should not put this in your application code.
