  • Themes - Allows you easily switch between themes using the material theme extension.
  • Branding - Configure the display of the embedded image and adjust its style to best fit your needs.

Usage

First, follow the package installation instructions and add a PrettyQrView widget to your app:

PrettyQrView.data(
  data: 'lorem ipsum dolor sit amet',
  decoration: const PrettyQrDecoration(
    image: PrettyQrDecorationImage(
      image: AssetImage('images/flutter.png'),
    ),
  ),
)

If you want to pass non-string data or want to specify a QR version, consider using the default PrettyQrView constructor:

@protected
late QrImage qrImage;

@override
void initState() {
  super.initState();

  final qrCode = QrCode(
    8,
    QrErrorCorrectLevel.H,
  )..addData('lorem ipsum dolor sit amet');

  qrImage = QrImage(qrCode);
}

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return PrettyQrView(
    qrImage: qrImage,
    decoration: const PrettyQrDecoration(),
  );
}

Note: Do not create QrImage inside the build method; otherwise, you may have an undesired jank in the UI thread.

Save the symbol as an image

You can save the QR code as an image using the toImage or toImageAsBytes extension methods that apply to QrImage. Optionally, the configuration parameter may be used to set additional saving options, such as pixel ratio or text direction.

final qrCode = QrCode.fromData(
  data: 'lorem ipsum dolor sit amet',
  errorCorrectLevel: QrErrorCorrectLevel.H,
);

final qrImage = QrImage(qrCode);
final qrImageBytes = await qrImage.toImageAsBytes(
  size: 512,
  format: ImageByteFormat.png,
  decoration: const PrettyQrDecoration(),
);

See the example folder for more code samples of the various possibilities.
