Client-Side QR Code Generation and Printing in Vue.js

Tech 3

To implement printable QR code functionality in Vue applications, install the following dependencies:

npm install vue-qr html2canvas print-js
# or
yarn add vue-qr html2canvas print-js

Configure the templaet structure with a dialog container for the QR preview:

<template>
  <el-dialog
    :visible.sync="dialogVisible"
    title="Scan Code"
    width="600px"
    :close-on-click-modal="false"
    @closed="handleClose"
    class="print-dialog"
  >
    <div ref="captureTarget" class="code-wrapper">
      <div class="qr-container">
        <vue-qr
          :text="qrContent"
          :size="200"
          :margin="2"
          colorDark="#1a73e8"
          colorLight="#ffffff"
          :correctLevel="3"
          :logoSrc="logoUrl"
          :logoScale="0.2"
          :logoCornerRadius="8"
        />
      </div>
    </div>
    
    <div slot="footer" class="actions">
      <el-button @click="dialogVisible = false">Close</el-button>
      <el-button type="primary" @click="executePrint">Print</el-button>
    </div>
  </el-dialog>
</template>

Import the required libraries in your component:

import VueQrcode from 'vue-qr'
import html2canvas from 'html2canvas'
import printJS from 'print-js'

export default {
  components: {
    VueQrcode
  },
  data() {
    return {
      dialogVisible: false,
      qrContent: '',
      logoUrl: require('@/assets/logo.png'),
      merchantInfo: {}
    }
  },
  methods: {
    executePrint() {
      const element = this.$refs.captureTarget
      
      const config = {
        scale: 2,
        useCORS: true,
        allowTaint: true,
        backgroundColor: null,
        logging: false
      }

      html2canvas(element, config).then(canvas => {
        const imageData = canvas.toDataURL('image/png')
        
        printJS({
          printable: imageData,
          type: 'image',
          documentTitle: this.merchantInfo.name || 'QR Code',
          imageStyle: 'width:100%;max-width:500px;'
        })
        
        this.dialogVisible = false
      })
    },
    
    handleClose() {
      this.qrContent = ''
    }
  }
}

Apply styles to ensure proper rendernig and positioning:

.code-wrapper {
  width: 100%;
  height: 500px;
  background: linear-gradient(135deg, #f5f7fa 0%, #c3cfe2 100%);
  border-radius: 12px;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  position: relative;
  
  .qr-container {
    background: white;
    padding: 24px;
    border-radius: 16px;
    box-shadow: 0 4px 20px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
    
    img {
      display: block;
    }
  }
}

.actions {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: flex-end;
  gap: 12px;
}
