• Brief description:
  • Have you ever wanted your Drupal site to generate various kinds of QR codes? There’s a module for that.
• Module name/project name:
  • QR Code Fields
• Brief history
  • How old: created in Nov 2023 by Sujan Shrestha of Nepal
  • Versions available: 1.1.1 and 2.1.3, the latter of which works with Drupal 10 and 11
• Maintainership
  • Actively maintained
  • Number of open issues: 4 open issues, none of which are bugs
• Usage stats:
  • 134 sites
• Module features and usage
  • This module defines not just one but 9 new fields for generating QR codes, including for URLs, vCards, MeCards, Events, and more
  • Each field QR accepts inputs based on the associated information that should be exposed. So a URL QR Code field only accepts an input for the URL destination, while an Event QR Code has inputs for a summary, description, location, start, and end.
  • The module also provides a custom block plugin for each type of QR code, to make it easier to display your QR codes wherever you need for your specific use case
  • The QR Code Fields module also defines a service for generating QR code images, which could also be useful for more custom implementations.
