Generate QR codes locally

[leimer]

Thanks for your highly appreciated work on the label template. I like it a lot :-) Thank you very much!

I came to notice the script is using an online service to render QR codes.
I'd like to suggest to use a simple and stable javascript library to generate the QR codes locally without any additional network traffic. This website - once stored locally - can then be used at offline locations.

Just realized: the codes get only rendered once. Feels like the x-init attribute is executed only once. I will update my PR. Please stay tuned ;-)

Hi, thanks for your contribution.

You are using a very dated library. One which has not been updated for 9 years. Please consider replacing it with a more popular solution.

I think instead of $el.innerHTML='' , one should call qrcode.clear()

I think one could also call qrcode.makeCode("...");

This could mean we could put all this code down into a dedicated method within qrCodeApp

I tried switching to qrcode, but it loads dependencies by require, which is unavailable inside the browser.
I found less popular but newer QRious library, which works even smoother. Feels like the qrcode libraries are pretty stable.

Since this is a very simple tool, with only local execution, I don't have the normal paranoia regarding updated libs.
