[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/6f55965cebf1ec9594a26fce073eb2c3e70160d0697d8aec1872d611c849d745/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f4d4350726f486f7374696e672f736b696e6e65722e737667)](https://travis-ci.org/MCProHosting/skinner)

Skinner is a fairly simple library to grab Minecraft heads and skins for your application.

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

[](#installation)

Add this to your composer.json file's requires, and run `composer update`:

```
"mcprohosting/skinner": "dev-master"

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
// Example 1: save a player's skin and head to a file:
file_put_contents('steve_skin.png', Skinner::user('steve')->skin());
file_put_contents('steve_skin.png', Skinner::user('steve')->head());

// Or, more efficiently, in a way that will only cause the skin to be downloaded once

$user = Skinner::user('steve');
file_put_contents('steve_skin.png', $user->skin());
file_put_contents('steve_skin.png', $user->head());

// Calls to the $user are automatically passed to Intervention images. So you can, for example:

$user = Skinner::user('steve');
file_put_contents('steve_skin.png', $user->skin()->resize(300, 300));

// Or, manually save it in another format, like jpg at 70% quality

$user = Skinner::user('steve');
file_put_contents('steve_skin.jpg', $user->encode('jpg', 70));

```
