QrCodeWidget(string, int)

Displays a QR code in the terminal using block characters.

Parameters:

• Data (String): The data to encode in the QR code (typically a URL).
• QuietZone (Int32): The number of module widths to use as a border around the QR code. Defaults to 1. Set to 0 to disable the quiet zone.

public QrCodeWidget(string Data, int QuietZone = 1)

Properties

Data

The data to encode in the QR code (typically a URL).

Returns: String

public string Data { get; init; }

QuietZone

The number of module widths to use as a border around the QR code. Defaults to 1. Set to 0 to disable the quiet zone.

Returns: Int32

public int QuietZone { get; init; }

Remarks

QrCodeWidget renders QR codes using Unicode block characters (█) to create scannable QR codes in the terminal. The primary use case is encoding URLs.

The QR code is automatically sized based on the data length and error correction level. QR codes work best when displayed with a monospace font where character width equals height.

Error correction level is fixed at Q (Quartile - 25% recovery capability) which provides a good balance between data capacity and error recovery.

Examples

Basic URL QR code:

ctx.QrCode("https://github.com/mitchdenny/hex1b")

QR code without quiet zone:

ctx.QrCode("https://example.com", quietZone: 0)
