A Node.js library and command-line tool that generates QR codes rendered as ASCII/ANSI text directly in the terminal. It supports configurable error correction levels, small output mode, and piping data via stdin.
Use cases
- generate a qr code in the terminal
- render qr code as ascii text from node
- cli tool to make qrcodes
- pipe text into a qr code generator
- show a qr code for a url in the console
When to choose
- you need QR codes in a terminal or server environment without image rendering
- you want a simple npm-installable CLI or Node library for QR generation
- you need cross-platform (OS X, Linux, Windows) terminal QR output
When to avoid
- you need QR codes rendered as images or canvas graphics
- you need a browser or client-side QR generator
- you need actively developed features or recent updates
