Location QR codes are a thing already (CC @icanc0 ) To do this:

1. On the location page, select the QR icon next to edit. You are generated a QR code.

Yea, the original intent was to recursively generate QR codes for a location, which needs a rehaul since the current QR code is entirely client-side.

The label generator portion does not yet exist, which would be the important bit I think.

Honestly, I can see some "processes" being built around the ability to scan location QR codes off labels that have been printed in the future.

Yeah, that's the main hurdle, you can do so many things with a label generator on the backend. Having a label customization system would be nice but it's a lot of work to design + implement.

I've got some experience with label/pdf generation in php... I haven't done anything in Go yet, but I can take a stab at it when I get some free time, if its not been picked up yet.

Regarding this discussion #35 (and https://github.com/hay-kot/homebox/issues/696), I know merging items and locations is a long job, but it would also benefits for this issue. I think we should consider this and list all other issues that might be covered by this refactor.

EDIT: I've opened an issue #251 listing all potential benefits to keep them in mind.
