We had to fork it, to add Laravel 13 support. All the work is credited to the maintainers of that package. Installation ------------ [](#installation) First, pull in the package through Composer via the command line: ``` composer require backpack/gravatar ``` or add the following to your composer.json file and run `composer update`. ``` "require": { "backpack/gravatar": "~1.0" } ``` Finally, publish the config by running the `php artisan vendor:publish` command Usage ----- [](#usage) Within your controllers or views, you can use ``` Gravatar::get('email@example.com'); ``` this will return the URL to the gravatar image of the specified email address. In case of a non-existing gravatar, it will return return a URL to a placeholder image. You can set the type of the placeholder in the configuration option `fallback`. For more information, visit [gravatar.com](https://docs.gravatar.com/api/avatars/images/#default-image) Alternatively, you can check for the existence of a gravatar image by using ``` Gravatar::exists('email@example.com'); ``` This will return a boolean (`true` or `false`). Or you can pass a url to a custom image using the fallback method: ``` Gravatar::fallback('http://urlto.example.com/avatar.jpg')->get('email@example.com'); ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) You can create different configuration groups to use within your application and pass the group name as a second parameter to the `get`-method: There is a default group in `config/gravatar.php` which will be used when you do not specify a second parameter. If you would like to add more groups, feel free to edit the `config/gravatar.php` file. For example: ``` return array( 'default' => array( 'size' => 80, 'fallback' => 'mm', 'secure' => false, 'maximumRating' => 'g', 'forceDefault' => false, 'forceExtension' => 'jpg', ), 'small-secure' => array ( 'size' => 30, 'secure' => true, ), 'medium' => array ( 'size' => 150, ) ); ``` then you can use the following syntax: ``` Gravatar::get('email@example.com', 'small-secure'); // will use the small-secure group Gravatar::get('email@example.com', 'medium'); // will use the medium group Gravatar::get('email@example.com', 'default'); // will use the default group Gravatar::get('email@example.com'); // will use the default group ``` Alternatively, you could also pass an array directly as the second parameter as inline options. So, instead of passing a configuration key, you pass an array, which will be merged with the default group: ``` Gravatar::get('email@example.com', ['size'=>200]); ``` ### Health Score 52 — FairBetter than 96% of packages Maintenance97 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity0 Limited adoption so far Community16 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity86 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
