Hello Laravel Friends,
In today’s blog file, I will explain How to Generate a QR Code in Laravel 9.
QR code can be a valuable addition to your Laravel project. Assigning a QR code to each product helps to efficiently manage inventory and simplify the tracking process.
Creating a QR code in Laravel 9 can be achieved using a package called “Simple-QR-Code.” This package provides a simple and straightforward way to generate QR codes for various content types. Here, I’ll guide you through the process step by step.
Steps to Generate QR Code in Laravel 9:

composer create-project laravel/laravel:^9.0 your-project-name
Step 2: Now install the package simplesoftwareio/simple-qrcode to generate the QR code
Use the below command
composer require simplesoftwareio/simple-qrcode "~4"
Step 3: Add the below lines in the service provider
'providers' => [
SimpleSoftwareIO\QrCode\QrCodeServiceProvider::class
],
And aliases in config/app.php
'aliases' => [
'QrCode' => SimpleSoftwareIO\QrCode\Facades\QrCode::class
],
Step 4: Create one route in the web.php file and create one blade file in the view folder to show the QR code
path – routes/web.php
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
path – resources/views/welcome.blade.php
