Installation

[dependencies]
qr-code-styling = "0.1"

Quick Start

use qr_code_styling::{QRCodeStyling, OutputFormat};
use qr_code_styling::config::{DotsOptions, Color};
use qr_code_styling::types::DotType;

let qr = QRCodeStyling::builder()
    .data("https://example.com")
    .size(300)
    .dots_options(DotsOptions::new(DotType::Rounded).with_color(Color::rgb(0, 0, 128)))
    .build()
    .unwrap();

// Render as SVG string
let svg = qr.render_svg().unwrap();

// Save to file
qr.save("qr.png", OutputFormat::Png).unwrap();

Examples

Styled dots with custom corners

use qr_code_styling::{QRCodeStyling, OutputFormat};
use qr_code_styling::config::{DotsOptions, CornersSquareOptions, CornersDotOptions, Color};
use qr_code_styling::types::{DotType, CornerSquareType, CornerDotType};

let qr = QRCodeStyling::builder()
    .data("Hello, Rust!")
    .size(350)
    .dots_options(
        DotsOptions::new(DotType::Rounded)
            .with_color(Color::from_hex("#2C3E50").unwrap()),
    )
    .corners_square_options(
        CornersSquareOptions::new(CornerSquareType::ExtraRounded)
            .with_color(Color::from_hex("#E74C3C").unwrap()),
    )
    .corners_dot_options(
        CornersDotOptions::new(CornerDotType::Dot)
            .with_color(Color::from_hex("#E74C3C").unwrap()),
    )
    .build()
    .unwrap();

qr.save("styled.svg", OutputFormat::Svg).unwrap();

With logo

use qr_code_styling::{QRCodeStyling, OutputFormat};
use qr_code_styling::config::{DotsOptions, ImageOptions, Color};
use qr_code_styling::types::DotType;

let logo_bytes = std::fs::read("logo.png").unwrap();

let qr = QRCodeStyling::builder()
    .data("https://rust-lang.org")
    .size(400)
    .image(logo_bytes)
    .image_options(
        ImageOptions::default()
            .with_image_size(0.4)
            .with_margin(5)
            .with_hide_background_dots(true),
    )
    .dots_options(
        DotsOptions::new(DotType::Rounded)
            .with_color(Color::from_hex("#2C3E50").unwrap()),
    )
    .build()
    .unwrap();

qr.save("with_logo.png", OutputFormat::Png).unwrap();

Circle shape with border

use qr_code_styling::{QRCodeStyling, ShapeType, OutputFormat};
use qr_code_styling::config::{DotsOptions, Color};
use qr_code_styling::plugins::border::{BorderPlugin, Position, QRBorderOptions};
use qr_code_styling::types::DotType;

let qr = QRCodeStyling::builder()
    .data("https://example.com")
    .size(400)
    .margin(60)
    .shape(ShapeType::Circle)
    .dots_options(
        DotsOptions::new(DotType::Rounded)
            .with_color(Color::from_hex("#E74C3C").unwrap()),
    )
    .build()
    .unwrap();

let svg = qr.render_svg().unwrap();

let border_options = QRBorderOptions::new(40.0, "#E74C3C")
    .with_round(1.0)
    .with_styled_text(
        Position::Top,
        "SCAN ME",
        "font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; fill: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold;",
    )
    .with_styled_text(
        Position::Bottom,
        "example.com",
        "font-size: 20px; font-family: Arial; fill: #FFFFFF; font-weight: bold;",
    );

let bordered_svg = BorderPlugin::new(border_options).apply(&svg, 400, 400);
std::fs::write("bordered.svg", &bordered_svg).unwrap();
