This package helps with usage of various placeholder image providers.
Zero dependencies, simple links.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require kreyu/placeholder-image
```

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

```
composer test
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To generate the url placeholder image:

```
PlaceholderImage::with($providerAlias)->generate($width, $height, array $options, $ssl = true);
```

Example usage:

```
PlaceholderImage::with('dummy_image')->generate(600, 400, [
    'text' => 'Beep Boop',
    'format' => 'png',
    'background' => 'FF9900',
    'foreground' => 'FFFFFF',
]);
```

Will give us the following url:

```
https://dummyimage.com/600x400/FF9900/FFFFFF.png&text=Beep+boop

```

Fourth argument allows to disable SSL support.

Supported providers
-------------------

[](#supported-providers)

- `fill_murray` - [fillmurray.com](https://www.fillmurray.com)
- `dummy_image` - [dummyimage.com](https://dummyimage.com)
- `placeholder` - [placeholder.com](https://placeholder.com)
- `place_img` - [placeimg.com](https://placeimg.com)

Using the invalid provider alias throws the `InvalidProviderException`

```
Fatal error: Uncaught Kreyu\PlaceholderImage\Exception\InvalidProviderException:
Requested provider invalid-prov does not exist.
