How to Create a Simple QR Code Generator in Jellycuts with Just 3 Lines of Code

In this guide, we'll show developers how to create a shortcut that generates a QR code from the clipboard content using Jellycuts in just three lines of code. Follow along to see how simple and powerful Jellycuts can be!

1. Define the Clipboard Content

First, we'll capture the text from the clipboard and store it in a variable called originalString.

text(text: "${Clipboard}") >> originalString

• Explanation: The text function fetches the current clipboard content and assigns it to the originalString variable.

2. Generate the QR Code

Next, we'll create a QR code using the text stored in originalString.

createQR(text: originalString) >> originalQR

• Explanation: The createQR function takes the originalString as input and generates a QR code, storing the result in originalQR.

3. Display the QR Code

Finally, we display the generated QR code using the quicklook function.

quicklook(input: originalQR)

• Explanation: The quicklook function shows a quick preview of the generated QR code stored in originalQR.

Putting It All Together

Here is the complete code:

text(text: "${Clipboard}") >> originalString
createQR(text: originalString) >> originalQR
quicklook(input: originalQR)

How to Implement This in Jellycuts

1. Open Jellycuts: Launch the Jellycuts app on your device.
2. Create a New Shortcut: Tap the "+" icon to create a new shortcut.
3. Add the Code: Copy and paste the three lines of code above into the new shortcut.
4. Save and Run: Save the shortcut and run it to see your QR code generated from the clipboard content.

Conclusion
