- Brief description:
- Have you ever wanted your Drupal site to generate various kinds of QR codes? There’s a module for that.
- Module name/project name:
- Brief history
- How old: created in Nov 2023 by Sujan Shrestha of Nepal
- Versions available: 1.1.1 and 2.1.3, the latter of which works with Drupal 10 and 11
- Maintainership
- Actively maintained
- Number of open issues: 4 open issues, none of which are bugs
- Usage stats:
- 134 sites
- Module features and usage
- This module defines not just one but 9 new fields for generating QR codes, including for URLs, vCards, MeCards, Events, and more
- Each field QR accepts inputs based on the associated information that should be exposed. So a URL QR Code field only accepts an input for the URL destination, while an Event QR Code has inputs for a summary, description, location, start, and end.
- The module also provides a custom block plugin for each type of QR code, to make it easier to display your QR codes wherever you need for your specific use case
- The QR Code Fields module also defines a service for generating QR code images, which could also be useful for more custom implementations.
