Register the Gravatar service provider by adding it to the providers array in the `config/app.php` file. ``` Thomaswelton\LaravelGravatar\LaravelGravatarServiceProvider::class ``` Alias the Gravatar facade by adding it to the aliases array in the `config/app.php` file. ``` 'aliases' => [ 'Gravatar' => Thomaswelton\LaravelGravatar\Facades\Gravatar::class ] ``` Configuration - Optional ------------------------ [](#configuration---optional) Copy the config file into your project by running ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Thomaswelton\LaravelGravatar\LaravelGravatarServiceProvider" ``` ### Default Image [](#default-image) Update the config file to specify the default avatar size to use and a default image to be return if no Gravatar is found. Allowed defaults: - (string) ``: the URL to an image of your choice (publicly available, with an image extension and without a query string). - (string) `404`: do not load any image if none is associated with the email hash, instead return an HTTP 404. - (string) `mm`: (mystery-man) a simple, cartoon-style silhouetted outline of a person (does not vary by email hash). - (string) `identicon`: a geometric pattern based on an email hash. - (string) `monsterid`: a generated 'monster' with different colors, faces, etc. - (string) `wavatar`: generated faces with differing features and backgrounds. - (string) `retro`: awesome generated, 8-bit arcade-style pixelated faces. Example images can be viewed on [the Gravatar website](https://gravatar.com/site/implement/images/#default-image). ### Content Ratings [](#content-ratings) By default only "G" rated images will be shown. You can change this system wide in the config file by editing `'maxRating' => 'g'` allowed values are - `g`: suitable for display on all websites with any audience type. - `pg`: may contain rude gestures, provocatively dressed individuals, the lesser swear words, or mild violence. - `r`: may contain such things as harsh profanity, intense violence, nudity, or hard drug use. - `x`: may contain hardcore sexual imagery or extremely disturbing violence. The content rating can be changed by changing the `$rating` argument when calling `Gravatar::src` or `Gravatar::image`. Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Gravatar::exists($email) [](#gravatarexistsemail) Returns a boolean telling if the given `$email` has got a Gravatar. ### Gravatar::src($email, $size = null, $rating = null) [](#gravatarsrcemail-size--null-rating--null) Returns the https URL for the Gravatar of the email address specified. Can optionally pass in the size required as an integer. The size will be contained within a range between 1 - 512 as gravatar will no return sizes greater than 512 of less than 1 ``` ``` ### Gravatar::image($email, $alt = null, $attributes = \[\], $rating = null) [](#gravatarimageemail-alt--null-attributes---rating--null) Returns the HTML for an `` tag ``` // Show image with default dimensions echo Gravatar::image('thomaswelton@me.com'); // Show image at 200px echo Gravatar::image('thomaswelton@me.com', 'Some picture', ['width' => 200, 'height' => 200]); // Show image at 512px scaled in HTML to 1024px echo Gravatar::image('thomaswelton@me.com', 'Some picture', ['width' => 1024, 'height' => 1024]); ``` ### Health Score 29 — LowBetter than 60% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity9 Limited adoption so far Community13 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity64 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.
