QR Code Extension on Marketplace?

JanKerkhofs — Fri, 16 Apr 2021 06:36:48 GMT

I'm trying to integrate QR code create/read in our application and came across references in community forum to 'QR Code Extension' on PTC market place.

However, I am not able to find it there...

Is this extension not supported anymore? Perhaps available through other channels?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the quick reply!

Are there any other ways to generate/read QR codes using TWX?

Hi @JanKerkhofs.

You would have to write your own extension for handling this functionality. In the meantime, you can also post a request on the ThingWorx Ideas board. This will allow other community members to vote for it in order to increase it's chances of being adopted into a future release of the product.

For future reference:

I'm now using the public REST API calls of http://goqr.me/api/ to generate a QR image.

Using 'ContentLoaderFunctions - LoadImage' in a service (see below) returns a usable image (PNG).

Linking it to the 'Data' entry of a 'Value Display' inside a mashup allows for easy visibility.

Example (Input = string, result = Image):

var result = Resources.ContentLoaderFunctions.LoadImage({

url: 'https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?size=200x200&margin=20&data=' + Input

});
