So that no external service is need.
So that no external dependencies are needed.

Hi, your proposal is very interesting. I invite you to contribute to the project

[tranmh]

Hi,

I have the same idea and start to fork another project called go-qrcode:
https://github.com/tranmh/go-qrcode/blob/master/qrcode-restapi/main.go

go-qrcode has now a restapi and your code at line:
https://github.com/giandonatoinverso/PHP-Dynamic-Qr-code/blob/master/src/lib/Qrcode/Qrcode.php#L83

can call it using:
$url = 'http://localhost:6868/api/qrcode?data=https%3A%2F%2Fsvw.info&size=256';

What is your expectation? I assume we need go-qrcode with restapi as git submodule. What else do you need to accept a pull request?

Thx.

Hi, the creation method you propose doesn't have the same customization possibilities (or better) that are currently in use, so it's not good

[tranmh]

Sure, wait for the other Pull Request:
skip2/go-qrcode#66

If this PR is going into their repo, I will extend the customization possibilities. Which of those is a must-have for you?

[giandonatoinverso]

I want the actual customization of my script. Thanks

[tranmh]

In PR
skip2/go-qrcode#66
I added another improvement: "add support for ecc aka recovery level, color and background-color". and would look like this:
http://localhost:6868/api/qrcode?data=abc&size=800&color=00FF00&bgcolor=FF00FF&ecc=L

[giandonatoinverso]

Is it already working?

[tranmh]

yes. PR is not accept yet, but I tested on my local machined.

[giandonatoinverso]

Ok then write to me when it is accepted please

[tranmh]

Change would be:
https://github.com/giandonatoinverso/PHP-Dynamic-Qr-code/blob/master/src/lib/Qrcode/Qrcode.php#L83

replace the following line

        $url =
            'https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?data='.
            $data_to_qrcode.
            '&&size='.$options['size'].'x'.$options['size'].
            '&ecc='.$options['errorCorrectionLevel'].
            '&margin=0&color='.$options['foreground'].
            '&bgcolor='.$options['background'].
            '&qzone=2'.
            '&format='.$data_to_db['format'];

with

        $url =
                'http://localhost:6868/api/qrcode?data='.
                $data_to_qrcode.
                '&size='.$options['size'].
                '&color='.$options['foreground'].
                '&bgcolor='.$options['background'].
                '&ecc='.$options['errorCorrectionLevel'];

[giandonatoinverso]

I saw that the format is missing. Many of my users need all the formats that my script offers. Does this new generation method have them? For example EPS

[tranmh]

skip2/go-qrcode#66 have now the following two formats: png and svg. More will hopefully come.

[giandonatoinverso]

Ok let me know when the other formats will be available
