This workflow allows you to create QR codes using Alfred without any dependencies

Alfred-QRCode

All of the QR code generator workflows I've come across use a dependency, such as an external installation, embedded app, or web service. Given that MacOS can create QR codes natively, that's what I did with this workflow.

Installation

This workflow doesn't require any dependencies for installation, all that is required is to double click and import the workflow into Alfred. If you wish to enable a selection hotkey, look for the yellow workflow action to configure.

Usage

The current version of this workflow contains two keywords for Alfred, qrc & qrp. When using either qrc or qrp without a parameter this workflow will attempt to use text contained on the clipboard. This same flow is followed if you set a hotkey for the selection and nothing is selected.

The universal actions use the selected text as the parameter.

• qrc [your text] -- Creates your QR code and copies it to the clipboard
• qrp [your text] -- Creates your QR code, by copying it to the clipboard and also opens it with Preview for saving

alfred-qrcode's Issues

Is there an option to change the size of generated QR code?

Not an issue! Is it possible to set color, transparency, margin of the QR code?

Output as SVG?

First off, thanks very much for the tool! It's great to have something which fits into my workflow so seamlessly so I can avoid visiting scammy QR Code generator sites. 😄

I have managed to open the PDF created by this script and convert it to an SVG. But I'm wondering, since I will always want SVGs: is it possible for the API you're using to create SVGs natively? I guess this is a feature request, but I'm not familiar with this API to know if it's possible.
