laravel-dominant-color
======================

[](#laravel-dominant-color)

A package that generates a base64 encoded GIF with the dominant color of the given image (for lazy loading use)

Requires the php Imagik library to work!
----------------------------------------

[](#requires-the-php-imagik-library-to-work)

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

[](#installation)

Require the package via composer

```
composer require ghero/laravel-dominant-color

```

Include the service provider within your providers in `config/app.php`.

```
'providers' => [
    ...
    Ghero\DominantColor\DominantColorServiceProvider::class,
    ...
];
```

Next, add the class alias to the aliases array of `config/app.php`.

```
'aliases' => [
    ...
    'DominantColor' => Ghero\DominantColor\Facades\DominantColor::class,
    ...
];
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Simply call `DominantColor::create($file);` passing a valid url to an Image or an Imagick instance

this will generate a string with the base 64 encoded 1x1 GIF (ex. `data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAI2JggAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=`) The GIF is only 1 color, the dominant color of the image

You can then easily set this string as src attribute specifing the desired width and height:

```

```

### Other available methods

[](#other-available-methods)

#### Get the color

[](#get-the-color)

You can also get just the hex code of the dominant color using `$color = DominantColor::setColor($file)->getColor();`The default output will be a plain hex code without the starting "#". You can customize the output passing an optional parameter to the `getColor` method: Available outputs:

- "hex": outputs complete hex code (ex. `#FFFFFF`)
- "rgb": outputs Rgb format string (ex. `255,255,255`)
- "array": outputs Rgb format as an array (ex. `['r' => 255, 'g' =>  255, 'b' => 255]`)

#### Get the GIF

[](#get-the-gif)

To get the base 64 encoded GIF from an hex code, just use `$gif = DominantColor::setGif($color)->getGif()`.
