Artisan Commands

raast-qr:install

Publishes the configuration file.

bash
php artisan raast-qr:install

Already installed? It says so and leaves your file alone. To overwrite it:

bash
php artisan raast-qr:install --force

You'll be asked to confirm before anything is replaced.

raast-qr:generate

Generates a QR, or prints a payload, straight from the terminal.

bash
php artisan raast-qr:generate PK33ABCD0000000000000000 --amount=2500 --output=qr.png

Arguments and Options

OptionDescription
ibanDestination IBAN. Optional when one is configured.
--amount=Amount in PKR. Omit for a static code.
--expiry=YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm.
--output=Where to write. .png or .svg.
--size=Edge length in pixels. Defaults to 900.
--margin=Quiet zone in modules. Defaults to 4.
--color=Hex colour for the dark modules.
--background=Hex colour behind the modules.
--label=Caption printed under the code.
--payloadPrint only the payload string.

Examples

Print the payload, useful when debugging what a bank app is reading:

bash
php artisan raast-qr:generate --amount=2500 --payload

A print-ready static counter card:

bash
php artisan raast-qr:generate \
    --output=storage/app/counter.svg \
    --size=1200 \
    --color='#01411C' \
    --label='Scan to pay'

A one-off code for a customer:

bash
php artisan raast-qr:generate PK33ABCD0000000000000000 \
    --amount=15000 \
    --expiry=2026-12-31 \
    --output=storage/app/invoice-882.png

Run it with no output path and it prints the payload plus a hint:

bash
php artisan raast-qr:generate --amount=2500

Exit Codes

0 on success, 1 on a bad IBAN, amount or expiry. The error code is printed so scripts can branch on it:

bash
$ php artisan raast-qr:generate PK00ABCD0000000000000000
[INVALID_IBAN] Enter a valid 24-character Pakistani IBAN.

In a Scheduled Task

php
Schedule::command('raast-qr:generate --output=storage/app/counter.svg --size=1200')
    ->monthly();

Rarely necessary — a static code doesn't change — but useful if the account behind it might.
