What is this library for?

=========================

The pybrcode is a python3 library that was built to help people to generate Pix QRCodes (BRCodes) using easy-to-understand and well documented functions. In most scenarios you will only need one function to generate a Pix: generate_simple_pix(...)

Go to How to use? section to learn how to use this function.

You can customize the Pix payload

---

Although it is easy-to-use, you can customize the Pix payload following the BRCode specification by Central Bank of Brazil (BCB). You can do this by trying to instantiate the Pix object by yourself and following the BCB's manuals: pt-BR and en-US

The custom Pix payload will be generated by fulfilling the "Payload Dictionary" with Data tree objects, which can be seen at pybrcode.pix.Data class. The payload is as follows:

PS: the crc16 payload field is autogenerated at string conversion of the Pix object (i.e. str(pix)). The used CRC algorithm is CRC-16-CCITT-FFFF (also called CRC/16-CCITT-FALSE) as described by the BRCode Manual by BCB:

Poly=0x1021, Init=0xFFFF, RefIn=false, RefOut=false, XorOut=0x0000

class Data(object):

    '''This is a Data tree containing a TLV 

    (type|id, length, value) in each "node".

    Convert the object to string to get the

    pix payload format'''

    def __init__(self, id:int, value:'str|list(Data)'):

        self.id = id

        self.__length = None

        self.value = value

class Pix(object):

    '''

        Creates a Pix Object  that  supports image conversion

        to "BRCode" format (Pix QRCode). The payload is based 

        at EMV QRCode model,  some  of the fields are already 

        fulfilled according to Pix specifications.

        Each field of the payload  dict must receive a 'Data'

        object, which is a TLV  type  object. The  "optional"

        fields are "nullable" fields.

        The payload dict contains these informations:

            pfi     -> Payload Format Indicator (def. 01),

            poim    -> Point of Initiation Method 

                       (def. 12 - optional),

            mai     -> Merchant Account Information,

            mcc     -> Merchant Category Code (def. 0000),

            tcurr   -> Transaction Currency (def. 986),

            tamount -> Transaction Amount (optional),

            ccode   -> Country Code (def. 58),

            mname   -> Merchant Name,

            mcity   -> Merchant City,

            pcode   -> Postal Code (optional),

            adft    -> Aditional Data Field Template,

            ut      -> Unreserved Templates (optional),

            crc16   -> Cyclic Redundancy Check 16 bits

        Convert the object to string  to get the pix  payload

        format.

        The  'crc16'  field  is  automatically  generated  at

        conversion of the Pix object to string __str__.

    '''

    def __init__(self):

        self.payload: dict = {

            'pfi'       : Data(0, '01'),

            'poim'      : Data(1, '12'),

            'mai'       : None,

            'mcc'       : Data(52, '0000'),

            'tcurr'     : Data(53, '986'),

---

By writing this line at your favorite terminal you can download the pybrcode library to use for your project.

pip3 install pybrcode

PS: this lib isn't registered at PyPi yet. Please use the Other Way instructions by now.

Other way (downloading this code)

---

You can hit download button or clone this repository to your own project src directory.

Before using this library as a dependency you'll need to download the required libraries to use it. You can do this by writing the line below at your favorite terminal:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

How to use?

===========

To create your own Pix QRCode all you need, in most cases, is to call the generate_simple_pix function. Then you can choose how to export the generated code by calling the following methods of Pix object:

Pix.toBase64(self) # returns a bitmap in a Base64 string.

Pix.toSVG(self) # returns a vector in a SVG string.

Pix.imageToPath(self, destDir:str, filename:str="image", svg:str=False)

# saves a bitmap (PNG) or vector (SVG) in a file at 'destDir'.

Pix.__str__(self) # generate the entire pix payload as string.

The generate_simple_pix prototype can be seen below:

def generate_simple_pix(

        fullname:str, key:str, 

        city:str, value:float, pix_id:str=None,

        pcode:str=None, description:str=None,

        mult_transaction:bool=False) -> 'Pix':

    '''

    raise PixInvalidPayloadException

    raise PixInvalidKeyException

    This creates a simple functional Pix object.

    These are the formats acceptable for keys:

        CPF     -> ###.###.###-##

        CNPJ    -> ##.###.###/####-##

        Phone   -> (##) ####-#### / (##) #####-####

        Email   -> ###@###.###

        RandKey -> len(key) == 36

    Information about fields:

        * strings will be transformed to lose

          accentuation.

        fullname -> length [1..25],

        key      -> will be tested

        city     -> length [1..15],

        value    -> rounded to 2 decimals

        pix_id   -> length [1..25],

            * if pix_id omitted, a random

              25ch string will be generated.

        pcode    -> length [1..99] (no treatment)

            * pcode is optional

        description -> length[1..N]

            * N = 73-len(key)

            * description is optional

            * if len(description) not in [1..N]

              description will be discarted.

    Returns:

        Pix Object

A simple example using pybrcode

---

This example uses all methods and functions mentioned before. You can find this code at test.py.

from pybrcode.pix import generate_simple_pix



# This will create a R$ 3,00 pix addressed to:

# 406c5d72-e8e1-40dd-87a9-f7846d08f9e1.

# This pix can accept more than one 

# payment (mult_transaction), so you can 

# try reading the QRCode to buy me a R$ 3,00

# shot of cachaça :)

pix = generate_simple_pix(

    fullname="Vinicius Fonseca Maciel",

    key="406c5d72-e8e1-40dd-87a9-f7846d08f9e1",

    city="Patos de Minas", 

    value=3.00,

    mult_transaction=True,

    description="A shot of cachaça!")



pix.imageToPath('.', filename='testingqrcode', svg=True)

# output image created at ./testingqrcode.svg

pix.imageToPath('.', filename='testingqrcode')

# output image created at ./testingqrcode.png

print(pix.toBase64())

print('-------------------------------------')

# output the base64-str version of png qrcode image

print(pix.toSVG())

print('-------------------------------------')

# output the xml-str version of svg qrcode image

print(pix)

# output the pix code used to produce the qrcode

Buy me a shot of cachaça, please?
