GO QR Generator

GO QR Generator, is exactly what it sounds like; a QR code generator written in GoLang. Specifically, this is a small, simple microservice which will generate a QR code upon request - currently this microservice supports two client defined parameters:

• data: (Required) The (URL encoded) string of data that should be encoded in the QR code.
• size: (Optional) The size of the image (default configurable via arguments).

Example of request: Spin up the microservice, and go to http://localhost:8081/?size=350&data=This%20is%20a%20test

• (If you wanted to do this from a command line, then install viu + curl and run curl http://localhost:8081/\?size\=350\&data\=This%20is%20a%20test -s | viu -!)
