letter-avatar-generator

The function allows you to generate an image with the first character of a string in Base64 format. A background color is assigned to each Cyrillic or Latin character. #757575 is used as a fallback background for other characters. You can use the parameters to set your own background color or gradient, as well as the image size and text color.

Install

To install the library, run this command:

npm install  letter-avatar-generator

Usage

Parameters

• content: string — the text whose first character will be used;
• color?: string — text color (default: #FFFFFF);
• backgroundColor?: string — custom background color;

• size?: number — the size of the final image is in pixels (default: 120);
• font?: {ratio?: number, family?: string, weight?: number} — configuring font settings.
