React Native Requires Chilkat v11.7.0+

Handle QR Code Errors

See more QR Code Examples

Demonstrates what happens when a request is refused. QrCode returns false and the response holds errors[0] with three members: a code that does not change between versions, the path of the request member at fault (a JSON Pointer such as /encoding/qr/version), and a message. Requests are checked strictly, so a misspelled option is an error rather than being silently ignored. LastErrorText has the same information in more detail. React Native

  // A program can act on the code.
  if (jsonOut.stringOf('errors[0].code') === 'capacityExceeded') {
    console.log('The text is too long for the symbol size allowed.');

  // Sample output:

  // message: the value is out of range
  // code: capacityExceeded
  // path: /payload
  // message: the payload does not fit the requested QR version at the requested error-correction level
  // The text is too long for the symbol size allowed.
