create(String.t(), level()) :: Result.t(String.t(), t())

Creates QR code. You can change the error correction level according to your needs. There are four level of error correction: :low | :medium | :quartile | :high where :low is default value.

This function returns Result, it means either tuple of {:ok, QR.t()} or {:error, "msg"}.

Example:

iex> QRCode.QR.create("Hello World")
{:ok,
%QRCode.QR{
  ecc: %QRCode.ErrorCorrection{

For saving QR code to svg file, use QRCode.Svg.save_as/3 function:

iex> qr = QRCode.QR.create("Hello World", :high)
iex> qr |> Result.and_then(&QRCode.Svg.save_as(&1,"hello.svg"))
{:ok, "hello.svg"}

The svg file will be saved into your project directory.

Specs

create!(String.t(), level()) :: t()

The same as create/2, but raises a QRCode.Error exception if it fails.
