How to generate and display QR Codes in Tape

[Ben]

You can generate QR Codes via Tape automations or use an external provider like QR Code Monkey.

Here is an example App that shows how to generate a QR-Code from a Link field:

We use a hidden Multiple-line-text field that stores the raw QR-Code (SVG) data and a calculation field for rendering the QR Code inside the record:

If you want to generate the QR Code on Record creation via Tape, you can use the following automation:

let qr_code_input = order_field_link_url;
// qr_code_input = 'https://example.org';

const { data: { data, file } } = await tape.File.QRCode.generateQRCode({
    data: qr_code_input,
    type: 'svg',
    size: 400
});

console.log(JSON.stringify({ data, file }, null, 2))

var_qr_code_svg_data = data;
var_qr_code_file = file;

You have several options for customizing your QR-Code:
