Generating SVG avatars on the fly is nothing new. There are tons of free/paid services and packages available to do that. So, why another package for same task?

Well, this one has some subtle but nifty advantages over available packages, here's a few of them:

Requirements

Laravel PHP SVGAvatarGenerator
11.x >=8.2 2.x
9.x-10.x >=8.1 1.x

Installation

Install the package via composer:

For older versions:

[!CAUTION] Breaking change: Named color support, e.g. red, green in foreground and gradient_colors is dropped since version 2.0. If you're using such names in config or in code, you should change them to hexadecimal code or keep using version 1.x releases.

Optionally, you can publish the config file with:

[!IMPORTANT] You should republish the config file after updating.

Usage

As model accessor

The usage of this package is stupidly simple. Use the svg-avatar.php config file to set your preferred decoration. Then use the Facade to generate an avatar on the fly. The recommended way to achieve that is defining an accessor in your model:

[!TIP] If your accessor is different from the original attribute, you might want to put it in $appends array so that it loads automatically with your model.

Override default config

If you want you can generate an avatar totally different from your configured style. It has all helpful methods to make that possible:

Customize initials

You can define the second initial using studly case. For example,

Provided string Produced initial
John Doe JD
JohnDoe JD
Johndoe JO
JohndoE JE

Customize Extractor

The default initial extractor class produces results shown above. However, if you want something different, you can create your own Extractor class. To do so create a new class that implements Sowren\SvgAvatarGenerator\Extractors\Extractor interface. An ideal place to put this class would be under App\Extractors namespace in your app directory.

After doing that, set the class as default extractor in config.
