# Initials Avatar

[![js-standard-style](https://img.shields.io/badge/code%20style-standard-brightgreen.svg)](http://standardjs.com)

Generates image based avatars from initials, in node.

Uses a random background colour and a contrasting foreground colour.

Uses pure javascript, no native dependencies.

## Install

```sh

$ npm install --save @beyonk/initials-avatar

```

## Usage

Add the plugin to your loadtest configuration:

```js

const { createWriteStream } = require('fs')

const { createAvatar } = require('@beyonk/initials-avatar')

const output = createWriteStream('/some/output/file.jpg')

await createAvatar({ firstName: 'Antony', lastName: 'MacKenzie-Jones' }, output)

```

### Config

#### Changing avatar size

You can change the default avatar size from 128px

```js

await createAvatar({ firstName: 'Antony', lastName: 'MacKenzie-Jones' }, output, { size: 512 })

```

#### Forcing avatar background-colour

You can choose the background colour (and the foreground will contrast automatically)

```js

await createAvatar({ firstName: 'Antony', lastName: 'MacKenzie-Jones' }, output, { background: '#ff0c7e' })

```
