Request QR Code and show the image using Angular JS

My plan is to create a QR code by using an API (such as Google Charts API) and then show the generated QR code on my website. I created a function that requests a QR Code image from Google Chart API:

.controller('DealCtrl', function($scope, $http) {
  $http.get("https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=300x300&chl=160%20FSU728F29G&coe=UTF-8")
      .success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
        $scope.qrcode = data;
      }).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
        $scope.qrcode = status;
  });
})

When I try to bind the response as HTML, I get this:

<div ng-bind-html="qrcode"></div>

enter image description here

The response seems to be an image (PNG). How can I show this on my website?

You can use this directive and then use it in your html code.

  1. create directive:

     angular.module('av.qr', [])
.directive('avQr', function() {
    return {
             restrict: 'E',
             template: '',
             scope: {
                      image: '='
           },
           link: function(scope, elem, attr) {
                 var qrImage = angular.element(scope.image);
                 elem.append(qrImage);
           }
      }
 })

  2. then in your module inject this directive with module name like below:

    angular.module('my.module', ['av.qr'])

  3. In your controller append QR image to $scope as you did:

    .controller('DealCtrl', function($scope, $http) {
   $http.get("https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?                      cht=qr&chs=300x300&chl=160%20FSU728F29G&coe=UTF-8")
        .success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
             $scope.qrcode = data;
         }).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
             $scope.qrcode = status;
        });
 })

  4. In your HTML code use your directive like this:

        <av-qr image="qrcode"></av-qr>

** You pass your qrcode image to your directive.

If you don't want to use the image url as is for some reason and you want to create the image from the contents you can use this:

$http.get(
    "https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?cht=qr&chs=300x300&chl=160%20FSU728F29G&coe=UTF-8",
    {responseType: 'blob'})
.then(function(response) {

    var urlCreator = window.URL || window.webkitURL;
    var imageUrl = urlCreator.createObjectURL( response.data );
    $scope.qrcode = '<img src="'+imageUrl+'"/>';

});

Here is an example of using ng-bind-html http://jsbin.com/lifuparija/edit?html,js,output

But without a more in depth example of what you are trying to accomplish, I feel like this is just a shot in the dark.

The returned data seems to be HTML. So you need to inject the Google HTML into your page, using ng-bind-htmldirective :

<div ng-bind-html="qrcode"></div>
