vanillicons

A quick and simple way of using vanillicons in your next project.

Install

gem install 'vanillicons'

Usage

If you are using this in a Rails project, or a project using Bundler then add the following to your Gemfile

gem 'vanillicons', '0.1.0'

In your model or class include the Vanillicons module

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Vanillicons 
end

And thats all it takes to get started, in your views you can now use the #vanillicon_url method.

<%= image_tag @user.vanillicon_url %>

Changing the field used

By default the gem will call a method #email on the object and hash that value. However you can change this to use any other field in the class, to change it you can do the following.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Vanillicons 

  vanillicon :name
end

The gem will now call the #name accessor to generate the image url.

Changing the options

There are a couple of options that can be passed to the #vanillicon_url method. The defaults are the following.

{
  :size => 200, # Options are: 50, 100, 200
  :secure => true
}

This sets the image size to 200px by 200px and to use https connection.
You may override this when calling the #vanillicon_url method.

<%= image_tag @user.vanillicon_url(:size => 50, :secure => false) %>

Or in the class if you frequently use a particular set of options.

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Vanillicons 

  vanillicon :email, :size => 100
end

• Fork the project.
• Start a feature/bugfix branch.
• Commit and push until you are happy with your contribution.
• Make sure to add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
• Please try not to mess with the Rakefile, version, or history. If you want to have your own version, or is otherwise necessary, that is fine, but please isolate to its own commit so I can cherry-pick around it.
