README

This package allows you to generate dynamic dummy image in Laravel framework.

It's based on the Russell Heimlich's dummy image generator

Once installed you can do stuff like this:

// Generate and store an image
DummyImage::put($path, $disk);

// Generate and return image as response
DummyImage::toResponse($code, $headers);

// Generate and return image as base64
DummyImage::toBase64($code, $headers);

Installation

Laravel

You can install the package via composer:

composer require boomdraw/laravel-dummy-image

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="BoomDraw\DummyImage\DummyImageServiceProvider" --tag="config"

When published, the config/dummyimage.php config file contains:

return [

    /*
     * Default disk for generated image
     */
    'disk' => 'local',

    /*
     * Default path for generated image
     */
    'path' => 'dummyimage',

    /*
     * Additional headers for response
     */
    'headers' => [
        //
    ],

    /*
     * Additional html color names with hex value for name to hex convertation
     */
    'color_names' => [
        //'color_name' => '00ffff'
    ],
];

Usage

// Generate an image with custom params
$image = DummyImage::generate($dimensions = '200x1:5', $format = 'gif', $bg_color = 'ff00cc', $fg_color = '00ffcc', $text = 'I am image text');

// Generate and store an image
$image->put($path, $disk);

// Generate and return image as response
$image->toResponse($code, $headers);

// Generate and return image as base64 string
$image->toBase64($code, $headers);

If any of the methods will be used without generate() one, an image will be generated with default params.

You can provide your own parameters for generating image:

• $dimensions - image dimensions.
  You can provide as dimensions image size and/or ratio. By default used '800x600'.
  Examples:
  '800x600' will generate an image with width 800px and height 600px
  '800' will generate an image with 800px width and height
  '250x1:2' will generate an image with 250px width and 500px height
  '1:3x300' will generate an image with width 100px and height 300px
• $format - generated image format ('jpg', 'gif', 'png'). Default format is 'png'.
• $bg-color - image background color in hex. Default is white ('ffffff').
• $fg_color - image text color in hex. Default is black ('000000').
• $text variable provides text that will be written on the image. Default is image dimensions.
