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

[](#installation)

```
composer require vikin/laricon
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Images are generated in PNG format with transparent background.

The string can be an email, an IP address, a username, an ID or something else.

### Generate an identicon

[](#generate-an-identicon)

Add in the `config/app.php` file

```
'providers' => [
    ....
    Vikin\Laricon\Providers\LariconServiceProvider::class
],

'aliases' => [
    ....
    'Laricon' => Vikin\Laricon\Facades\Laricon::class
]
```

Then you can generate and display an identicon image

```
Laricon::displayImage('vikin');
```

or generate and get the image data

```
Laricon::getImageData('vikin');
```

or generate and get the base 64 image uri ready for integrate into an HTML img tag.

```
Laricon::getImageDataUri('vikin');
```

```

```

### Change the size

[](#change-the-size)

By default the size will be 64 pixels. If you want to change the image size just add a secondary parameter. 512 x 512px in this example.

```
Laricon::displayImage('vikin', 512);
```

### Color

[](#color)

The color is automatically generated according to the string hash but you can chose to specify a color by adding a third argument.

Color can be an hexadecimal with 6 characters

```
Laricon::displayImage('vikin', 64, 'A87EDF');
```

or an array with red, green, blue value

```
Laricon::displayImage('foo', 64, [200, 100, 150]);
```

That's it!
