Super Simple (SVG) Image Placeholders
=====================================

[](#super-simple-svg-image-placeholders)

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

This package is designed to allow the creation of image placeholders with minimal fuss by providing data URIs to be substituted into an img or source's `src` or `srcset` attributes.

The aim is to create a placeholder that meets the following criteria:

- Behaves exactly like a genuine image when styled and resized.
- Can be used when developing offline.
- Does not require additional JavaScript introduced into the page.
- Keeps data URI size to a minimum.

The only option right now is to use SVG for this.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require dmnc/ssip

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Placeholders are immutable and created directly through their constructor.

```
use Dmnc\Ssip\Placeholder;

$placeholder = new Placeholder(100, 50, "#aaa");

echo '';
```

Support
-------

[](#support)

Currently tested on:

- Chrome 80
- Firefox 73
- Safari 12.1
- Edge 18
- IE11
- IE10

Alternatives
------------

[](#alternatives)

If you require more feature rich placeholders, and are able to add JavaScript into your page, I suggest the fantastic [Holder.js](http://holderjs.com/).
