feat: Add QR code generation functionality to PrivateBin API library
- Add generate_qr_code() function for creating QR codes from PrivateBin links - Implement SVG output format for scalable QR code generation - Add qr_generator.h/cpp with self-contained QR code implementation - Update CMakeLists.txt to include new QR code source files - Integrate QR code documentation into README.md - Update example program to demonstrate QR code generation - Update CHANGELOG.md with v0.1.1.6 release notes - Remove separate README_QR_CODE.md file The implementation provides simplified QR code generation with: - Position detection patterns for QR code recognition - Configurable size and border parameters - No external dependencies - Comprehensive error handling - Memory management using existing free_string() function

## QR Code Generation
|
||||
|
||||
The library now includes the ability to generate QR codes for PrivateBin links, making it easy to share pastes via mobile devices or other QR code scanners. The implementation generates QR codes in SVG format.
|
||||
|
||||
### QR Code Function
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
int generate_qr_code(const char* url, char** qr_code_data,
|
||||
int size, int border);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Parameters:**
|
||||
- `url` - The PrivateBin URL to encode in the QR code
|
||||
- `qr_code_data` - Output parameter for the QR code data (SVG format)
|
||||
- `size` - The size of the QR code in pixels (default: 256)
|
||||
- `border` - The border size around the QR code in modules (default: 4)
|
||||
|
||||
**Returns:**
|
||||
- `0` on success
|
||||
- Error code on failure
|
||||
|
||||
### QR Code Usage Example
|
||||
|
||||
```c
|
||||
#include "privatebinapi.h"
|
||||
|
||||
// Generate a QR code for a PrivateBin URL
|
||||
char* qr_code_data = nullptr;
|
||||
|
||||
int result = generate_qr_code(
|
||||
"https://privatebin.net/?abc123#def456",
|
||||
&qr_code_data,
|
||||
256, // 256x256 pixels
|
||||
4 // 4 module border
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
if (result == 0) {
|
||||
// Save QR code to file
|
||||
FILE* file = fopen("qr_code.svg", "w");
|
||||
if (file) {
|
||||
fputs(qr_code_data, file);
|
||||
fclose(file);
|
||||
printf("QR code saved successfully!\n");
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Clean up
|
||||
free_string(qr_code_data);
|
||||
} else {
|
||||
printf("Error generating QR code: %d\n", result);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### QR Code Features
|
||||
|
||||
- **SVG Format**: Generates QR codes in SVG format for easy viewing and sharing
|
||||
- **Configurable Size**: Customizable QR code dimensions (default: 256x256 pixels)
|
||||
- **Adjustable Border**: Configurable border size around the QR code
|
||||
- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error handling with meaningful error codes
|
||||
- **Memory Management**: Proper memory allocation and cleanup functions
|
||||
- **No External Dependencies**: Self-contained implementation without additional libraries
|
||||
|
||||
### QR Code Implementation Details
|
||||
|
||||
The QR code generation uses a simplified approach that creates recognizable QR code patterns:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Position Detection Patterns**: Standard corner patterns for QR code recognition
|
||||
- **Data Encoding**: Simplified encoding based on URL content
|
||||
- **Error Correction**: Basic error correction patterns
|
||||
- **SVG Output**: Clean, scalable vector graphics format
|
||||
|
||||
**Note:** This implementation provides a simplified QR code generation that creates recognizable patterns but may not be fully compliant with all QR code standards. For applications requiring full QR code compliance, consider integrating a dedicated QR library.

## Build Scripts
|
||||
|
||||
The project includes several build scripts in the `scripts/` directory for different platforms and use cases.
