Laravel support package

A Laravel support package with some nice to have extensions.

Installation

Add "stayallive/support" : "1.*" to your composer.json.

Then follow the usage instructions for each component listed below...

Blade extensions

Installation

Add 'Stayallive\Support\Blade\BladeServiceProvider' to the providers section in your app.php config file.

Provides

• @set('varname', $value)

Gravatar

Installation

Add 'Stayallive\Support\Gravatar\GravatarServiceProvider' to the providers section in your app.php config file.

Add 'Gravatar': 'Stayallive\Support\Gravatar\GravatarFacade' to the aliases section in your app.php config file.

Usage

Get a gravatar image url

/**
 * Build a gravatar url.
 *
 * @param        $email
 * @param int    $size
 * @param string $default
 * @param bool   $https
 *
 * @return string
 */
public function buildURL($email, $size = 100, $default = \Gravatar::DEFAULT_MYSTERYMAN, $https = true) { ... }

So you can call this like Gravatar::buildUrl($email, 500, Gravatar::DEFAULT::IDENTICON) to get a 500x500 image that defaults to a Identicon.

Check if a user has a Gravatar set

if (Gravatar::exists($email)) {
    echo 'Yep, this one has a pretty face set!';
} else {
    echo 'No, no, no, this one does not want to be seen!';
}
