Please provide the following:
Hi, i need to generate a QRCode to my users but have found nothing in Expo documentation besides read qrcode. I tried some third libraries without success.
i was using react-native-barcode-builder - npm to build a barcode but after updating to 36 stoped work.
same question
react-native-barcode-builder uses ART which was removed from SDK 36. With a little bit of effort you can actually use JsBarcode directly:
The Snack is called “Better” because the first version I tried was more hacky and buggy.
I’m not sure what the best way is to generate barcodes in Expo, but my Snack seems to work 
However, I don’t believe JsBarcode supports 2D barcodes like QR codes. So the Snack is off topic.
About QR code generation:
react-native-qr-generator won’t work because it requires native code that is not included in Expo.
But the other two options you mentioned both work pretty well:
The logo didn’t work in the Snack’s web preview, but that might just be Snack being quirky. I didn’t try it locally. Also, the linear gradient didn’t work on my Android phone. All the other stuff I tried worked, but I only tried a few options.
Note: react-native-svg is already built in to Expo, so there is no need to run react-native link to use these two libraries.
