## Installation and usage

Library can either be directly downloaded from [Nuget.org](https://www.nuget.org/packages/GiveMeAnAvatar), OR installed via the [NuGet Package Manager UI](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/tools/package-manager-ui#finding-and-installing-a-package) or via the [Package Manager Console](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/tools/package-manager-console) if you're using Visual Studio.

Command to install Give Me an Avatar NuGet via the Package Manager Console UI in Visual Studio shown below.

```

Go ahead and consume it directly.

```C#

Or supply optional settings to get a slightly customized avatar URL.

```C#

var settings = new AvatarSettings() { Name = "John Smith", Size = 124 };

var avatarURL = GiveMeAnAvatar.GetAvatarURL(settings);

```

## Notes

* I'm not using [avataaars](https://avataaars.io/) separately since [avatars.dicebear.com](https://avatars.dicebear.com) includes avataaars.    

* Placekitten image might appear broken at times in the table above, however, the image service itself runs fine.
