This package gets you several BoringAvatar designs rendered in your Laravel application as SVGs. They can be rendered via configurable URL or by direct usage of a Blade component.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require gridprinciples/laravel-placeholder-avatars
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Via URL

[](#via-url)

If you plan on rendering via URL, you must register it in your routes file:

```
// routes/web.php
use GridPrinciples\PlaceholderAvatars\Facades\PlaceholderAvatars;

PlaceholderAvatars::route('avatar.svg', type: 'beam');
```

By default, you can use query parameters to set the generation options. For example:

```
/avatar.svg?name=JohnDoe&square=1

```

...would generate the same face every time ("JohnDoe" as the seed) in a square format.

If you want to dictate which options are used in generation, you can supply these options when adding the route:

```
// routes/web.php
use GridPrinciples\PlaceholderAvatars\Facades\PlaceholderAvatars;

PlaceholderAvatars::route('face.svg',
    // which design should render (optional; defaults to "beam")
    type: 'marble',

    // enforce a red color scheme
    colors: ['#440000', '#110000', '#CC0000'],

    // force a circular avatar, a square will never be produced even if requested
    square: false,

    // we are rendering an SVG so this doesn't matter much, but you can set the size
    size: 256,
);
```

### Via component

[](#via-component)

You can also render the SVGs inline within any Blade component:

```

```
