What is it?

This is a Laravel wrapper for the identicon package written by yzalis. This package comes equipped a custom identicons named route for easy profile image redering. The custom route can be accessed using a named route or by going to http://YOURDOMAIN.TLD/identicon/d/STRING where the string is whatever you want...

route('identicon::main', [
    'YOUR STRING HERE', 
    'SIZE (optional)', 
    'TEXT_COLOR (optional)', 
    'BACKGROUND_COLOR (optional)'
]);

How to set up.

1. composer require kregel/identicon or add "kregel/identicon":"dev-master" to your composer.json file, just be sure to use composer update with that statement, or if you haven't build your dependancies use composer install instead.

2. Register the service provider with your config/app.php file

'providers' => [
  ...,
  Kregel\Identicon\IdenticonServiceProvider::class,
  ...,
]

3. Add the alias to your config/app.php file

'aliases' => [
  ...,
  'Identicon' => Kregel\Identicon\Facades\Identicon::class,
  ...,
]

Use it!

I use this method (similar to Gravatar)

<img src="{{ route('identicon::main', [
  md5($user->email), 
  '200' 
]) }}">
