node-qrcode

generate qrcode by node.js but not depend on node-canvas.

why

Because of the deep dependency, qrcode is too hard to use.

qrcode's dependency: qrcode -> node-canvas -> node -> Cairo -> x11.

So the node-qrcode is dependent on browser(webdriver/phantomjs) to draw qrcode canvas, It is very easy to use :)

Usage:

tnpm i node-qrcode --save

var qrcode = require('node-qrcode');

qrcode({
  text: 'http://weibo.com',
  size: 200,
  qrcodePath: './qrcode.png',
  browser: 'chrome'
}).then(function(qrcodePath) {
  console.log(qrcodePath);  // balabala/node-qrcode/qrcode.png
});
