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 69 — FairBetter than 100% of packages Maintenance88 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity66 Solid adoption and visibility Community41 Growing community involvement Maturity69 Established project with proven stability 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.
