QR Code generator
=================

[](#qr-code-generator)

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

BaconQrCode-Basis is simplified version of Bacon/BaconQrCode with minimal requirements and minimal use of external libraries. Only the basic functionality is left - generate classic b/w QR code to PNG file using standard GD library.

Example usage
-------------

[](#example-usage)

```
require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/autoload.php';
use BaconQrCode\Renderer\GDLibRenderer;
use BaconQrCode\Writer;

$renderer = new GDLibRenderer(300);
$writer   = new Writer($renderer);
$qr_image = base64_encode($writer->writeString("Hola, hola"));
echo "";

//$writer->writeFile('Hello World!', 'qrcode.png');
```

Thanks
------

[](#thanks)

The code is taken from Bacon/BaconQrCode and GD lib backend from arxeiss//BaconQrCode
