My First jQuery plugin - PageQR
I just released my first open source jQuery plugin. Many a time I feel the need to open the webpage that I am browsing on my mobile phone. Usually I simply email the url of the page to myself and check the mail on my phone and open the link there. Then I installed a browser plugin that would create a QR code for the current page at the click of a button and I can scan that the page is open on the phone. Having done this quite a lot of time I felt that it makes sense for a website to have such a provision that whenever a page is being browsed it should have a QR code corresponding to that page url. Potential use cases for this plugin are
- Extremely useful during development of responsive design or checking the responsiveness of a webpage
- Reduce the time in opening the page on mobile device.
To fulfill this requirement I wrote a simple jQuery plugin that when added to the page will automatically add a QP code of the url to the page in a very unobtrusive manner (Example here) The plugin comes with a variety of useful options using which you can easily customize the behavior of the plugin. You can download the plugin from github here and the detail page for the project can be found here.
