Struct qrcode::bits::Bits

pub struct Bits { /* fields omitted */ }

The Bits structure stores the encoded data for a QR code.

Methods

impl Bits

pub fn new(version: Version) -> Self

Constructs a new, empty bits structure.

pub fn into_bytes(self) -> Vec<u8>

Convert the bits into a bytes vector.

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Total number of bits currently pushed.

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Whether there are any bits pushed.

pub fn max_len(&self, ec_level: EcLevel) -> QrResult<usize>

The maximum number of bits allowed by the provided QR code version and error correction level.

pub fn version(&self) -> Version

Version of the QR code.

impl Bits

pub fn push_mode_indicator(&mut self, mode: ExtendedMode) -> QrResult<()>

Push the mode indicator to the end of the bits.

If the mode is not supported in the provided version, this method returns Err(QrError::UnsupportedCharacterSet).

impl Bits

pub fn push_eci_designator(&mut self, eci_designator: u32) -> QrResult<()>

Push an ECI (Extended Channel Interpretation) designator to the bits.

An ECI designator is a 6-digit number to specify the character set of the following binary data. After calling this method, one could call .push_byte_data() or similar methods to insert the actual data, e.g.

#![allow(unused_must_use)]

use qrcode::bits::Bits;
use qrcode::types::Version;

let mut bits = Bits::new(Version::Normal(1));
bits.push_eci_designator(9); // 9 = ISO-8859-7 (Greek).
bits.push_byte_data(b"\xa1\xa2\xa3\xa4\xa5"); // ΑΒΓΔΕ

The full list of ECI designator values can be found from http://strokescribe.com/en/ECI.html. Some example values are:

ECI #	Character set
3	ISO-8859-1 (Western European)
20	Shift JIS (Japanese)
23	Windows 1252 (Latin 1) (Western European)
25	UTF-16 Big Endian
26	UTF-8
28	Big 5 (Traditional Chinese)
29	GB-18030 (Simplified Chinese)
30	EUC-KR (Korean)

If the QR code version does not support ECI, this method will return Err(QrError::UnsupportedCharacterSet).

If the designator is outside of the expected range, this method will return Err(QrError::InvalidECIDesignator).

impl Bits

pub fn push_numeric_data(&mut self, data: &[u8]) -> QrResult<()>

Encodes a numeric string to the bits.

The data should only contain the characters 0 to 9.

impl Bits

pub fn push_alphanumeric_data(&mut self, data: &[u8]) -> QrResult<()>

Encodes an alphanumeric string to the bits.

The data should only contain the charaters A to Z (excluding lowercase), 0 to 9, space, $, %, *, +, -, ., / or :.

impl Bits

pub fn push_byte_data(&mut self, data: &[u8]) -> QrResult<()>

Encodes 8-bit byte data to the bits.

impl Bits

pub fn push_kanji_data(&mut self, data: &[u8]) -> QrResult<()>

Encodes Shift JIS double-byte data to the bits.

impl Bits

pub fn push_fnc1_first_position(&mut self) -> QrResult<()>

Encodes an indicator that the following data are formatted according to the UCC/EAN Application Identifiers standard.

#![allow(unused_must_use)]

use qrcode::bits::Bits;
use qrcode::types::Version;

let mut bits = Bits::new(Version::Normal(1));
bits.push_fnc1_first_position();
bits.push_numeric_data(b"01049123451234591597033130128");
bits.push_alphanumeric_data(b"%10ABC123");

In QR code, the character % is used as the data field separator (0x1D).

pub fn push_fnc1_second_position(
    &mut self,
    application_indicator: u8
) -> QrResult<()>

Encodes an indicator that the following data are formatted in accordance with specific industry or application specifications previously agreed with AIM International.

#![allow(unused_must_use)]

use qrcode::bits::Bits;
use qrcode::types::Version;

let mut bits = Bits::new(Version::Normal(1));
bits.push_fnc1_second_position(37);
bits.push_alphanumeric_data(b"AA1234BBB112");
bits.push_byte_data(b"text text text text\r");

If the application indicator is a single Latin alphabet (a–z / A–Z), please pass in its ASCII value + 100:

bits.push_fnc1_second_position(b'A' + 100);

impl Bits

pub fn push_terminator(&mut self, ec_level: EcLevel) -> QrResult<()>

Pushes the ending bits to indicate no more data.

impl Bits

pub fn push_segments<I>(
    &mut self,
    data: &[u8],
    segments_iter: I
) -> QrResult<()> where
    I: Iterator<Item = Segment>, 

Push a segmented data to the bits, and then terminate it.

pub fn push_optimal_data(&mut self, data: &[u8]) -> QrResult<()>

Pushes the data the bits, using the optimal encoding.
