In this guide, we'll show developers how to create a shortcut that generates a QR code from the clipboard content using Jellycuts in just three lines of code. Follow along to see how simple and powerful Jellycuts can be!

1. Define the Clipboard Content

First, we'll capture the text from the clipboard and store it in a variable calledoriginalString.

text(text: "${Clipboard}") >> originalString

• Explanation: Thetext function fetches the current clipboard content and assigns it to theoriginalString variable.

2. Generate the QR Code

Next, we'll create a QR code using the text stored inoriginalString.

createQR(text: originalString) >> originalQR

• Explanation: ThecreateQR function takes theoriginalString as input and generates a QR code, storing the result inoriginalQR.

3. Display the QR Code

Finally, we display the generated QR code using thequicklook function.

quicklook(input: originalQR)

• Explanation: Thequicklook function shows a quick preview of the generated QR code stored inoriginalQR.

Putting It All Together

Here is the complete code:

text(text: "${Clipboard}") >> originalStringcreateQR(text: originalString) >> originalQRquicklook(input: originalQR)

How to Implement This in Jellycuts

1. Open Jellycuts: Launch the Jellycuts app on your device.
2. Create a New Shortcut: Tap the "+" icon to create a new shortcut.
3. Add the Code: Copy and paste the three lines of code above into the new shortcut.
4. Save and Run: Save the shortcut and run it to see your QR code generated from the clipboard content.

Conclusion

This example demonstrates the efficiency and power of Jellycuts for quick automation tasks. Experiment with other functionalities to explore more possibilities!
