Generate QR Code for WiFi
Instead of having your guests hunting for WiFi name and type in your weird password, let them scan a QR code and connect with ease.
Change wifi-name , wifi-password below and save the QR code.
const wifi_name = "wifi-name"
const wifi_password = "wifi-password"
escape = (s) => s.replace(/\\|;|,|:/g, c => `\\{c}`)
const name = escape(wifi_name)
const pass = escape(wifi_password)
const str = `WIFI:T:WPA;S:${name};P:${pass};;`
const dataUrl = jQuery('#qrcode').empty().qrcode({text: str}).find('canvas')[0].toDataURL()
jQuery('#qr_img').attr('src',dataUrl)
strTo download the code, right-click and select "Save Image As..". Or Long-press and "Save Image" if you are on iOS.
Scanning the Code (iOS)
- Open iOS camera
- Point it at the QR Code
- Tap the popped up notification
Generate code from terminal
Understandably, you may not be comfortable typing your wifi-password in a browser. We could also generate a QR code via terminal.
brew install qrencode
qrencode -o code.png "WIFI:T:WPA;S:wifi-name;P:wifi-password;;"
