Table of Contents
Install Package
Run this artisan command to install the package:
composer require creativeorange/gravatarFor Laravel 5.3 or below, we need to add this service provider and aliase in config/app.php file:
'providers' => [
//....
'Creativeorange\Gravatar\GravatarServiceProvider::class',
],
'aliases' => [
//....
'Gravatar' => 'Creativeorange\Gravatar\Facades\Gravatar::class',
],Finally, publish the config by running the php artisan vendor:publish command.
Use in Controller
We can easily get gravatar image using this package. Here’re some examples:
// import
use Creativeorange\Gravatar\Facades\Gravatar;
// get image
Gravatar::get('[email protected]');
// set fallback image
Gravatar::fallback('http://example.com/avatar.jpg')->get('[email protected]');Use in Blade File
Here’s the example to use in blade (view) file:
<img src="{{ Gravatar::get('[email protected]') }}">Configuration
We’re able to define some sizes & options in the package’s config file. The config file is located at config/gravatar.php. Here’s an example of config:
return [
'default' => [
'size' => 80,
'fallback' => 'mm',
'secure' => false,
'maximumRating' => 'g',
'forceDefault' => false,
'forceExtension' => 'jpg',
],
'small-secure' => [
'size' => 30,
'secure' => true,
],
'medium' => [
'size' => 150,
]
];Then we use the following syntax:
Gravatar::get('[email protected]', 'small-secure');
Gravatar::get('[email protected]', 'medium');
Gravatar::get('[email protected]', 'default');
Gravatar::get('[email protected]'); // will use the default groupWe can also pass config like:
Gravatar::get('[email protected]', ['size'=>200]);Share on Social Media
