Decoder Example

import { binarize, Decoder, Detector, grayscale } from '@nuintun/qrcode';

const image = new Image();

image.crossOrigin = 'anonymous';

image.addEventListener('error', () => {
  console.error('image load error');
});

image.addEventListener('load', () => {
  const { width, height } = image;
  const canvas = new OffscreenCanvas(width, height);
  const context = canvas.getContext('2d')!;

  context.drawImage(image, 0, 0);

  const luminances = grayscale(context.getImageData(0, 0, width, height));
  const binarized = binarize(luminances, width, height);
  const detector = new Detector();
  const detected = detector.detect(binarized);
  const decoder = new Decoder();

  let current = detected.next();

  while (!current.done) {
    let succeed = false;

    const detect = current.value;

    try {
      const { size, finder, alignment } = detect;
      const decoded = decoder.decode(detect.matrix);
      // Finder
      const { topLeft, topRight, bottomLeft } = finder;
      // Corners
      const topLeftCorner = detect.mapping(0, 0);
      const topRightCorner = detect.mapping(size, 0);
      const bottomRightCorner = detect.mapping(size, size);
      const bottomLeftCorner = detect.mapping(0, size);
      // Timing
      const topLeftTiming = detect.mapping(6.5, 6.5);
      const topRightTiming = detect.mapping(size - 6.5, 6.5);
      const bottomLeftTiming = detect.mapping(6.5, size - 6.5);

      console.log({
        content: decoded.content,
        finder: [topLeft, topRight, bottomLeft],
        alignment: alignment ? alignment : null,
        timing: [topLeftTiming, topRightTiming, bottomLeftTiming],
        corners: [topLeftCorner, topRightCorner, bottomRightCorner, bottomLeftCorner]
      });

      succeed = true;
    } catch {
      // Decode failed, skipping...
    }

    // Notice: pass succeed to next() is very important,
    // This can significantly reduce the number of detections.
    current = detected.next(succeed);
  }
});
