LaravelAdorable is an library to generate nice avatars on Laravel.

You may use Composer to install this package into your Laravel project:

composer require asbiin/laravel-adorable

You don't need to add this package to your service providers.

This package supports Laravel 8 and newer, and has been tested with php 7.4 and newer versions.

You can publish the LaravelAdorable configuration in a file named config/adorable.php. Just run this artisan command:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laraveladorable-config"

This package depends on intervention/image. It requires one of the following image libraries:

• GD Library (>=2.0)
• or: Imagick PHP extension (>=6.5.7)

You can configure the image library to use in the driver setting of the config/adorable.php file.

Use LaravelAdorable facade to generate avatar:

use Illuminate\Support\Str;
use LaravelAdorable\Facades\LaravelAdorable;

…

  $size = 200;
  $hash = Str::uuid()->toString();
  $dataUrl = LaravelAdorable::get($size, $hash);
  // $dataUrl: "data:image/png;base64,..."

This generates a base64 data-url content, like data:image/png;base64,….

You can display a data-url in html with:

  <img src="{{ $dataUrl }}" alt="avatar" />
