A Ruby library that generates GitHub-like identicons
Add it to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'identicon'and run
$ bundle
or manually install through the command-line:
$ gem install identicon
Require it
require 'identicon'And use data_url_for or file_for, as explained below:
This generates a data-url, so you can use it immediately, check it out:
Identicon.data_url_for "Whatever you want!"You can also specify a image size and a background color:
Identicon.data_url_for "Whatever you want!", 128, [255, 255, 255]This creates a 128x128px image, with a nice white background.
This generates and writes the result to a file. It's as easy as just making a data-url. Check it out:
Identicon.file_for "User's email? Username? Telephone?", "/path/to/the/image"And, as you may guess, it also accepts the aforementioned parameters:
Identicon.file_for "User's email? Username? Telephone?", "/path/to/the/image", 128, [255, 255, 255]Pull requests are welcome!
