Usage

For more use-cases see the tests

var randomAvatar = require('random-avatar');
 
// API
// - randomAvatar(options)
 
// options
// - protocol
// - email
// - extension
// - size
// - rating
// - fallback
 
randomAvatar()
=> '//www.gravatar.com/avatar/41f84bab4a852971eb1d26a287acb763'

By default, a url is returned without a protocol. Specify one to get a random url but with a known protocol:

randomAvatar({protocol: 'https'});
// => https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/f40260c4058cc904b7db652c26099966

Optionally specify a file extension to get one of a known type:

randomAvatar({extension: 'jpg'});
// => //www.gravatar.com/avatar/76697df5874c854e3cc8fde1200b4298.jpg

You can also use it with a known email address to just get that gravatar.

However, note this, of course, no longer makes it random, just more of a helper function:

randomAvatar({email: '[e-mail]'});
// => //www.gravatar.com/avatar/8595c2591b0bca22e736813af33fa7c3
