In this article, we’ll look at an example of a laravel 8 QR code generator. we’ll use the simplesoftwareio/simple-qrcode package to generate QR codes. That helps to generate qr code. You may generate a simple QR code, text QR code, or image QR code in Laravel 8.
The simplesoftwareio/simple-qrcode package is a simple PHP QR Code generator with Laravel 8 compatibility. You can also adjust the color, size, text, height, and width to meet your needs.
Let’s create a Laravel project and install dependencies to integrate qr code generator functionality.
We will set up database configuration in the .env
file.
DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_PORT=3306 DB_DATABASE=database_name DB_USERNAME=database_user_name DB_PASSWORD=database_password
Step 1: Create Laravel 8 Project
Let’s create a laravel 8 project using the below command.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel_8_qr_code_example
Step 2: Install QR Code Package
Now, We will install simplesoftwareio/simple-qrcode package using the below command.
composer require simplesoftwareio/simple-qrcode
Step 3: Create Controller
We have created laravel project and installed qr package, Let’s create a QRCodeController
using the below command.
php artisan make:controller QRCodeController
Added the below code into the above file:
namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use QrCode; class QRCodeController extends Controller { public function index() { return view('qr_code'); } }
Step 4 : Add Route
we will add the qr-code
route in the web.php
file.
use App\Http\Controllers\QRCodeController; Route::get('/qr-code', [QRCodeController::class, 'index'])->name('qr-code');
Step 5: Generate QR Codes in Blade View
Let’s create a qr_code
blade file and added the below code into this file.
