Faker-GD-Image
==============

[](#faker-gd-image)

FakerPHP () Provider to create random images with the help of gd. This provider uses the same function signature as the build-in image provider image function ([https://fakerphp.github.io/formatters/image/#image\_1](https://fakerphp.github.io/formatters/image/#image_1)) so it can be used as a direct replacement

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require ccharz/faker-gd-image
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$faker = \Faker\Factory::create();
$faker->addProvider(new \Faker\Provider\GdImage($faker));

// Stores a generated image in the systems tmp folder
$image_path = $faker->gdImage($dir = null, $width = 640, $height = 480);

// Returns a gd image object
$gd_image = $faker->gdImageObject($width = 640, $height = 480, $text = 'Test', $background_color = '6A6A6A');
```

Usage in Laravel
----------------

[](#usage-in-laravel)

To use it in laravel factories you could add this to the `AppServiceProvider.php`:

```
/**
 * Register any application services.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function register()
{
    $this->app->singleton(\Faker\Generator::class, function () {
        $faker = \Faker\Factory::create();
        $faker->addProvider(new \Faker\Provider\GdImage($faker));
        return $faker;
    });
}
```
