Maximum capacity about qrcode HOT 5 CLOSED

We haven't decided if we will choose your library for our product yet, so I can't commit on paying your test debt, yet 😄

from qrcode.

Only bytes and Latin1 encoded strings are supported by the CIQRCodeGenerator filter. Therefore no special encoding is used for numeric, alphanumeric, or Kanji/Kana input. Kanji/Kana will not translate to Latin1 and can therefore not be passed as a String.

Any interest in a pull request for returning nil by the initializer of QRCode if the input is exceeding the limit?

I think its rather a matter of the max length that can be encoded into the QRCode format.

Numeric only Max. 7,089 characters (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
Alphanumeric Max. 4,296 characters (0–9, A–Z [upper-case only], space, $, %, *, +, -, ., /, :)
Binary/byte Max. 2,953 characters (8-bit bytes) (23624 bits)
Kanji/Kana Max. 1,817 characters

Thanks Alexander.

And what is the expected behavior when trying to write more data than a qr code can handle?

Shouldn't there be a test that covers that case?

To be honest, I don't know.
A test would be a good idea, do you want to submit a pull request?
