ZATCA (Fatoorah) QR-Code Implementation

An unofficial package to help developers implement ZATCA (Fatoora) QR code easily which is required for e-invoicing in Saudi Arabia.

✨ You could use it in both frontend and backend Nodejs projects.

✅ Validated to have the same output as ZATCA's SDK as of 18 November 2021.

Installation

To get started, install the package:

npm i --save @axenda/zatca

Usage

Summary

Simple, all you need to generate a QR code is:

import { Invoice } from '@axenda/zatca';

const invoice = new Invoice({
	sellerName: 'Axenda',
	vatRegistrationNumber: '1234567891',
	invoiceTimestamp: '2021-12-04T00:00:00Z',
	invoiceTotal: '100.00',
	invoiceVatTotal: '15.00',
});

const imageData = await invoice.render();

// Read the following sections for more details.

Import

First, import Invoice class or Tag class to represent an invoice QR code:

import { Invoice } from '@axenda/zatca';
// or
import { Tag } from '@axenda/zatca';

Representing an invoice QR code

Second, create an instance of Invoice or an array of Tag class:

const invoice = new Invoice({
	sellerName: 'Axenda',
	vatRegistrationNumber: '1234567891',
	invoiceTimestamp: '2021-12-04T00:00:00Z',
	invoiceTotal: '100.00',
	invoiceVatTotal: '15.00',
});
// or
const tags: Tag[] = [
	new Tag(1, 'Axenda'),
	new Tag(2, '1234567891'),
	new Tag(3, '2021-12-04T00:00:00Z'),
	new Tag(4, '100.00'),
	new Tag(5, '15.00'),
];

Generate TLV

Now you can generate TLV string from the invoice or from the tags array:

invoice.toTlv();

// or using tags array

import { toTlv } from '@axenda/zatca';

toTlv(tags)

Generate Base64

You cloud generate Base64 string from the invoice or from the tags array:

invoice.toBase64();

// or using tags array

import { tagsToBase64 } from '@axenda/zatca';

tagsToBase64(tags);

Render QR code

You can generate image data (png) from base64 string and render it in browser:

await invoice.render();

// or using tags array

import { renderTags } from '@axenda/zatca';

await renderTags(tags);

Use QR code image data

Use the image data to display the QR code in browser:

<!-- For React -->
<img src={imageData} alt="Invoice QR Code">
<!-- For Angular -->
<img [src]="imageData"/>
<!-- Just use the imageData variable no matter what framework you use  -->

Tests

To run test suites, first install dependencies, then run npm test:

npm install
npm test
