## Installation

Use [composer](http://getcomposer.org) to install this package:

```
$ composer require artdarek/gravatarer
```

### Registering the Package

Add the Gravatarer Service Provider to your config in ``app/config/app.php``:

```php
'providers' => array(
'Artdarek\Gravatarer\GravatarerServiceProvider'
),
```

### Usage

#### Generating gravatar url by user() method

Generating avatar with default settings is very simple and all you have to do is to call
``user()`` method with user email as a paramterer:

```php
url();

?>
```

If you want to customize avatar a little bit you can set some more parameters using additional methods
like ``size()``, ``rating()``, ``defaultImage()``.

```php
size('220');

// Maximum rating (inclusive) [ g | pg | r | x ]
// defaults to 'g'
$gravatar->rating('g');

// Default imageset to use [ 404 | mm | identicon | monsterid | wavatar ]
// You can also specify url to your own default avatar image
// defaults to 'mm'
$gravatar->defaultImage('mm');

// set gravatarer to build urls with https [true = use https, false = ise http]
// defaults to 'false'
$gravatar->secured( true );

// get gravatar url as a string
$url = $gravatar->url();

?>
```

U can also chain all methods:

```php
size('220')->rating('g')->defaultImage('mm')->url();
?>
```

#### Generating gravatar url by make() method

Basic way to generate gravatar url is just to call ``make()`` method with
user email address as a parameter (all other parameters will be loaded from defaults).

```php
url();

?>
```

U can aslo chain methods:

```php
url();
?>
```

If you want specify size of avatar or some other additional parameters you can do this
by passing array with parameters to ``make()`` method:

```php
$email, 'size' => 220] )->url();

// create a gravatar object with some other additional parameters
$url = Gravatarer::make( [
'email' => $email,
'size' => 220,
'defaultImage' => 'mm',
'rating' => 'g',
'secured' => true
])->url();
?>
```

#### Generating HTM avatar code

With Gravatarer you can get url string of user avatar by calling ``url()`` method
but also you can generate full html code by calling ``html()`` method instead of ``url()``.

```php
size('120');

// get gravatar html code
$html = $gravatar->html();
?>
```

If you want to have more controll over
the returned html code you can pass some additional html attributes to html() method, for examle:

```php
html( ['class' => 'avatar', 'id' => 'user123' ] );
?>
```
