hideBackgroundDots|boolean |true
|Hide all dots covered by the image
imageSize |number |0.4
|Coefficient of the image size. Not recommended to use ove 0.5. Lower is better
margin |number |0
|Margin of the image in px
crossOrigin |string('anonymous' 'use-credentials'
)| |Set "anonymous" if you want to download QR code from other origins.
saveAsBlob |boolean |false
|Saves image as base64 blob in svg type, see bellow
When QR type is svg, the image may not load in certain applications as it is saved as a url, and some svg applications will not render url images for security reasons. Setting saveAsBlob
to true will instead save the image as a blob, allowing it to render correctly in more places, but will also increase the file size.

Node Support
You can use this on a node server by passing through the node-canvas or jsdom object depending if your creating a non-svg or svg respectively. You must pass both if using imageOptions.saveAsBlob
.
Calling getRawData
in node will return a Buffer instead of a Blob.
