php-laravelHow do I generate a QR code using Laravel and PHP?

Generating a QR code using Laravel and PHP is a straightforward process. To do so, you will need to install the BaconQrCode package. This can be done through the command line using the following command:

composer require bacon/bacon-qr-code

Once installed, you can use the following code block to generate a QR code:

use BaconQrCode\Renderer\Image\Png;
use BaconQrCode\Writer;

$renderer = new Png();
$writer = new Writer($renderer);
$writer->writeFile('my_text', 'qrcode.png');

This will generate a qrcode.png file containing the QR code.

The code consists of the following parts:

1. use BaconQrCode\Renderer\Image\Png: This imports the Png renderer from the BaconQrCode package.
2. use BaconQrCode\Writer: This imports the Writer class from the BaconQrCode package.
3. $renderer = new Png(): This creates a new Png renderer instance.
4. $writer = new Writer($renderer): This creates a new Writer instance and passes the renderer instance to it.
5. $writer->writeFile('my_text', 'qrcode.png'): This writes the QR code to a file called qrcode.png with the text my_text.
