Recently a member of the Ionic Academy needed to generate a QR code directly from his Ionic app. The restrictions were also no Cordova plugins, so I found a nice solution to generate QR codes but also added a QR code reader as a little validation and learning for you!

Inside this Quick Win we will build a simple input that can be converted into a QR code. Once we got the code, we can also use the scan function of the app to see if it actually contains the value (who knows what’s behind these black boxes?)!
