# QRCode Terminal Edition [![Build Status][travis-ci-img]][travis-ci-url]
> Going where no QRCode has gone before.
![Basic Example][basic-example-img]
# Node Library
## Install
Can be installed with:
$ npm install qrcode-terminal
and used:
var qrcode = require('qrcode-terminal');
## Usage
To display some data to the terminal just call:
qrcode.generate('This will be a QRCode, eh!');
You can even specify the error level (default is 'L'):
qrcode.setErrorLevel('Q');
qrcode.generate('This will be a QRCode with error level Q!');
If you don't want to display to the terminal but just want to string you can provide a callback:
qrcode.generate('http://github.com', function (qrcode) {
console.log(qrcode);
});
If you want to display small output, provide `opts` with `small`:
qrcode.generate('This will be a small QRCode, eh!', {small: true});
qrcode.generate('This will be a small QRCode, eh!', {small: true}, function (qrcode) {
console.log(qrcode)
});
