If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.

Informations about the package aleavatar

aleavatar

Generator of random avatars aka identicons, like you can see on Stackoverflow for example!

How it works?

This PHP library create a md5 sum from the string you give.

Each two character is taken, so, we get a string of 32 ÷ 2 = 16 characters.

For this 16 hexadecimal characters, we take the first 8 of them to choose basic shapes to use in the picture, the 6 followings are used to create the foreground color, the last but one is used to place basic shapes and the last is used to choose the rotation way of each quarter part.

What do I get?

You get by default a picture of 128px × 128px. This picture can be SVG or PNG. For PNG, you must have one of this PHP modules: ImageMagick or GD.

I recommand you the first one. GD is a fallback very poor (no scaling and antialias if you have PHP version prior to 5.5).

You can display PNG images or store them. As you want.

SVG can be used into HTML5 document or as standalone SVG file.

How to install it?

Using composer it is very simple.

Just put this into your composer.json file:

Do you have some examples?

Yes. The first, very simple, generates a (pseudo)random SVG avatar and save it into my_avatar.svg file:

Now, this one generates one SVG avatar to display into HTML5 based on the string "My avatar is fun!":

The same but to generate PNG to display on browser :

You can change size in pixel too:

Note: If you have GD as fallback, and your PHP version is inferior to 5.5, then you have not scaling.

Enjoy!
