Usage

Install the package from npm using the following command.

npm i give-me-an-avatar

After installing, simply import Give Me an Avatar in your file.

const avatars = require("give-me-an-avatar");

Consume the giveMeAnAvatar() API to get an avatar URL that you can use directly as an image. You can either call the method without any parameters or supply the settings object to customize your avatar a bit. All settings are pretty self-explanatory and are not mandatory. For example:

let image = avatars.giveMeAnAvatar({
                Name: "John Smith",
                Size: 128
            }); 

The image variable will have the avatar image URL.

Notes

  • I'm not using avataaars separately since avatars.dicebear.com includes avataaars.
  • Placekitten image might appear broken at times in the table above, however, the image service itself runs fine.
