qr(

  console.log('Success! QR-code is saved at: ' + qrName)
})

browser

const qr = require('kewarr/src/lib/theqrmodule')
const combine = qr.combine
require('Jimp/browser/lib/jimp')

qr(
	'https://example.com'
).then(([qr, ver]) =>
	Jimp.read('./purple-github.jpg')
	.then(picture =>
		combine(picture, qr, true, ver)
	)
  .catch(e => qr)
)
.then(qr => {
	qr
	.getBase64(Jimp.AUTO, (err, src) => {
		const img = document.createElement('img')
		img.src = src
		document.body.appendChild(img)
	})
})

Tips

• Use a square picture instead of a rectangle one.

• If the size of the picture is large, you should also choose a large -v/version instead of using the default.

Supported Characters

• Numbers: 0~9

• Letters: a~z, A~Z

• Common punctuations:

  · , . : ; + - * / \ ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & ` ' = < > [ ] ( ) ? _ { } | and  (space)
