What it is and what it does
Django QR Code is a Django application that integrates QR code generation into your templates and views. It wraps the Segno QR code generator library to provide template tags and a Python API for creating QR codes as embedded SVG or PNG images. The package requires no database access and focuses on rendering QR codes directly in HTML templates or serving them as image files.
You use it by adding the app to your Django project, loading its template tags, and then calling simple tags like `qr_from_text` to embed QR codes in your pages. It supports customization of size, error correction level, border width, and other parameters. The package includes caching for performance and can serve QR code images with URL protection and user authentication, making it suitable for use cases like contact information sharing, Wi-Fi configuration, or competition tracking.
Use it for
- Embed contact information QR codes in Django templates for easy phone book imports.
- Generate Wi-Fi configuration QR codes for guest networks or event access.
- Create authentication QR codes for judges or staff to scan during events.
- Serve cached QR code images with URL protection for secure sharing.
- Generate URLs pointing to QR code images for use in emails or external systems.
