QR Code Bundle

By endroid

This Symfony lets you generate QR Codes using the endroid/qr-code library. It provides the following features.

• Configure your defaults (like image size, default writer etc.)
• Generate QR codes quickly from anywhere via the factory service
• Generate QR codes directly by typing an URL like /qr-code/<text>.png?size=300
• Generate QR codes or URLs directly from Twig using dedicated functions

Installation

Use Composer to install the library.

$ composer require endroid/qr-code-bundle

When you use Symfony, the installer makes sure that services are automatically wired. If this is not the case you can find the configuration files in the .install/symfony folder.

Configuration

The bundle makes use of a factory to create QR codes. The default parameters applied by the factory can optionally be overridden via the configuration.

endroid_qr_code:
    writer: 'svg'
    size: 300
    margin: 10
    foreground_color: { r: 0, g: 0, b: 0 }
    background_color: { r: 255, g: 255, b: 255 }
    error_correction_level: low # low, medium, quartile or high
    encoding: UTF-8
    label: Scan the code
    label_font_size: 20
    label_alignment: left # left, center or right
    label_margin: { b: 20 }
    logo_path: '%kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/endroid/qr-code/assets/images/symfony.png'
    logo_width: 150
    logo_height: 200
    validate_result: false # checks if the result is readable
    writer_options:
        exclude_xml_declaration: true

Generate via factory

Now you can retrieve the factory from the service container and create a QR code. You can also pass options to override defaults set by your configuration.

$qrCode = $qrCodeFactory->create('QR Code', ['size' => 200]);

QR Code Response

The bundle also provides a response object to ease rendering of the resulting image by automatically saving to string and setting the correct content type.

$response = new QrCodeResponse($qrCode);

Generate via URL

The bundle provides a controller that allows you to generate QR codes simply by opening an URL like /qr-code/<text>.png?size=300. You can configure the prefix in your routing file and pass any of the existing options via query string.

Generate via Twig

The bundle provides a Twig extension for generating a QR code URL, path or data URI. You can use the second argument of any of these functions to override any defaults defined by the bundle or set via your configuration.

<img src="{{ qr_code_path(message) }}" />
<img src="{{ qr_code_url(message, { writer: 'eps' }) }}" />
<img src="{{ qr_code_data_uri(message, { writer: 'svg', size: 150 }) }}" />

Versioning

Version numbers follow the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH scheme. Backwards compatibility breaking changes will be kept to a minimum but be aware that these can occur. Lock your dependencies for production and test your code when upgrading.
