- Compatible with tvOS platform

## Installation

### [CocoaPods](https://cocoapods.org)

`LetterAvatarKit` is available through [CocoaPods](https://cocoapods.org). To install
it, simply add the following line to your Podfile:
```ruby
pod "LetterAvatarKit", "1.2.5" # Swift 5.0+, Xcode 12
pod "LetterAvatarKit", "1.2.3" # Swift 5.0+, Xcode 11
pod "LetterAvatarKit", "1.1.7" # Swift 4.2
pod "LetterAvatarKit", "1.1.5" # Swift 4.0
```

### [Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage)

Add this to `Cartfile`

```ruby
github "vpeschenkov/LetterAvatarKit" == 1.2.5 # Swift 5.0+, Xcode 12
github "vpeschenkov/LetterAvatarKit" == 1.2.3 # Swift 5.0+, Xcode 11
github "vpeschenkov/LetterAvatarKit" == 1.1.7 # Swift 4.2
github "vpeschenkov/LetterAvatarKit" == 1.1.5 # Swift 4.0
```

```sh
$ carthage update
```

## Usage

### Swift

Using `LetterAvatarMaker`:

```swift
// Square avatar image
let avatarImage = LetterAvatarMaker()
.setUsername("Letter Avatar")
.build()
avatarImageView.image = avatarImage

// Circle avatar image with white border
let circleAvatarImage = LetterAvatarMaker()
.setCircle(true)
.setUsername("Letter Avatar")
.setBorderWidth(1.0)
.setBackgroundColors([ .red ])
.build()
avatarImageView.image = circleAvatarImage
```

Using `LetterAvatarMaker` with closures:

```swift
let avatarImage = LetterAvatarMaker()
.build { c in
c.username = "Letter Avatar"
}
avatarImageView.image = avatarImage

let avatarImage = LetterAvatarMaker()
.build { c in
c.circle = true
c.username = "Letter Avatar"
c.borderWidth = 1.0
c.backgroundColors = [ .red ]
}
avatarImageView.image = avatarImage
```

Using `LetterAvatarBuilderConfiguration`:
```swift
let configuration = LetterAvatarBuilderConfiguration()
configuration.username = "Letter Avatar"
avatarImageView.image = UIImage.makeLetterAvatar(withConfiguration: configuration)
```

Using UIImage extension:
```swift
avatarImageView.image = UIImage.makeLetterAvatar(withUsername: "Letter Avatar")
```

### Objective-C

Using `LKLetterAvatarBuilderCongiguration`:
```objc
LKLetterAvatarBuilderCongiguration *configuration = [[LKLetterAvatarBuilderCongiguration alloc] init];
configuration.username = @"Letter Avatar";
self.avatarImageView.image = [UIImage lk_makeLetterAvatarWithConfiguration:configuration];
```
Using UIImage extension:
```objc
self.avatarImageView.image = [UIImage lk_makeLetterAvatarWithUsername:@"Letter Avatar"];
```

## Customization

You can configure the following properties of `LetterAvatarBuilderConfiguration`:

```swift
/// The username.
open var username: String?
```

```swift
/// The size of an avatar image.
open var size: CGSize = CGSize(width: 80, height: 80)
```

```swift
/// The flag that indicates of using single only one letter, otherwise,
/// as much as wil be possible to obtain. But no more than 3 letters.
open var isSingleLettered: Bool = false
```

```swift
/// The letters font.
open var lettersFont: UIFont = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16.0)
```

```swift
/// The letters colors
open var lettersColor: UIColor = LKUIColorByRGB(red: 236, green: 240, blue: 241)
```

```swift
/// The background colors of an image.
open var backgroundColors: [UIColor] = UIColor.colors
```

```swift
/// The letters font attributes.
open var lettersFontAttributes: [NSAttributedString.Key: Any]?
```

```swift
/// Indicates whether to generate circle or square image.
open var circle: Bool = false
```

```swift
/// The border width of the image.
open var borderWidth: CGFloat = 0.0
```

```swift
/// The border color of the image.
open var borderColor: UIColor = UIColor.white
```

```swift
/// A Boolean flag indicating whether the avatar is opaque.
open var opaque: Bool = false
```
