This small project generates a QR code from the user-entered URL.
You must have node js installed on your system.
- Download the files as a zip file and open them in your favorite code editor.
- If you try to run the index.js, it will give an error. This is happening because you do not have the required module as of now.
- In the project we have two modules from the "npm" i.e. the node package manager. The first one is the "inquirer" and the second one is the "qr-image".
- The "inquirer" module is used to take input from the user and the "qr-image" module is used to read a URL from the user and generate the corresponding QR code.
- To install the above two modules type the following commands in the terminal-> "npm i inquirer qr-image" and press enter. Once you press enter a folder of the node modules will be installed and also twp .json files. package.json and package-lock.json.
- At this point package.json file would be missing some piece of code which can be added by simply executing the command "npm init -y" in the vs code terminal.
- Now in the package.json file just below the line "main": "index.js" enter the line "type": "module". This will enable you to use the keyword "import" in the .js file.
- Now all you need to do is run the index.js file and enter the URL as per you wish. The corresponding QR code will be generated in qr_img.png.
