title: How can I generate QR images in Node.js without canvas?
body: <p>I'm building a website for a client in Node.js and I need to generate QR-codes or Barcodes for the ticket system.</p>
  
  <p>I've found a few modules, but all of them need an install like canvas, one way or another.</p>
  
  <p>I'm on a shared hosting package and my host does not allow me to install any such packages, unless I upgrade to a VPS or dedicated server (which I do not have the money for).</p>
  
  <p>Does any of you know how I can pull this off in Node.js or do I need to put up a  subdomain for generating the QR in PHP or front-end generating (which I do not prefer AT ALL)?</p>
  
  <p>Currently using:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Node.js</li>
  <li>Express.js</li>
  <li>Angular.js</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Modules found:</p>
