node-qrcodeine

QR Code generator for Node.js using libqrencode and libpng. This module is a fork from qrc to bring support for Node.js versions beyond 0.10.x and full control over the QR generation.

qrcodeine support various settings not usually found in other Node.js QR code modules like error correction level, version, mode (numeral, alphanumeric, 8-bit binary, Kanji), etc.

var qrPngBuffer = qr.encodePng('FOO123', {
