A no-framework, no-dependencies, customizable, animate-able, SVG-based <qr-code> HTML element. It's just a single, self-contained Web Component.

Import <qr-code> using your build system or framework (e.g. npm install @bitjson/qr-code), or use the standalone script in your HTML <head> element:
<script src="https://unpkg.com/@bitjson/qr-code@1.0.2/dist/qr-code.js"></script>Then use the component anywhere in your HTML <body> element:
<qr-code contents="https://bitjson.com"></qr-code>Here's an example in pure HTML using most features:
<qr-code
id="qr1"
contents="https://bitjson.com/"
module-color="#1c7d43"
position-ring-color="#13532d"
position-center-color="#70c559"
mask-x-to-y-ratio="1.2"
style="
width: 200px;
height: 200px;
margin: 2em auto;
background-color: #fff;
"
>
<img src="assets/1.2-x-to-y-ratio-icon.svg" slot="icon" />
</qr-code>
<script>
document.getElementById('qr1').addEventListener('codeRendered', () => {
document.getElementById('qr1').animateQRCode('MaterializeIn');
});
</script>Animate in, animate on user interactions like URL hits or detected payments, and/or animate out when the QR code interaction is complete.
Several preset animations are available, simply run them with the element's animateQRCode method:
document.getElementById('qr1').animateQRCode('RadialRipple');Available built-in presets:
FadeInTopDownFadeInCenterOutMaterializeInRadialRippleRadialRippleIn
You can also design your own custom animations! Just pass a function to the qr-code's animateQRCode method, e.g.:
document
.getElementById('qr1')
.animateQRCode((targets, _x, _y, _count, entity) => ({
targets,
from: entity === 'module' ? Math.random() * 200 : 200,
duration: 500,
easing: 'cubic-bezier(.5,0,1,1)',
web: { opacity: [1, 0], scale: [1, 1.1, 0.5] },
}));The built-in presets use this API internally, so review those for guidance and inspiration. Pull request for new presets are welcome!
The animation previewer makes fine-tuning animations much easier: try it by cloning this repo and running the live-reloading package script:
git clone https://github.com/bitjson/qr-code.git
cd qr-code
npm ci
npm start
Then work on your animation in src/index.html using the animation previewer (at the bottom right of the window) to test the last-run animation at various speeds, scrub through it manually, or play it in reverse.
Disable the just-animate player in src/components/qr-code/qr-code.tsx, then build:
npm run buildYou can test the built component by pointing the script in index.html to dist/qr-code.js and opening the page via the local filesystem.
