🖼️ Use Picsum.photos in your laravel app

This package provides a simple way to use Picsum.photos in your Laravel app.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require tvdr/picsum-placeholder

Config Files

In order to edit the default configuration you may execute:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Tvdr\PicsumPlaceholder\PicsumPlaceholderServiceProvider" --tag="config"

After that, config/picsum-placeholder.php will be created.

The configuration options are:

name	description	type	default value
api_url	the base url for picsum.photos	string	https://picsum.photos/
width	width of image	integer	300
height	height of image	integer	300
blur	amount of blur on image	false | integer[1..10]	false
grayscale	always get a grayscale image	false | true	false
random	append a random string to the url to bust browser cache	false | true	true
override_route	route to override (e.g to always load a placeholder on non existent storage images)	false | string	/storage/{path?}

Usage

You can use the facade to write well-readable code as well as a predefined global helper method if you don't want it as a singleton

//return image url with default parameters
PicsumPlaceholder::getUrl()
picsum_placeholder()->getUrl()

//return image as a blob string  with default parameters
PicsumPlaceholder::getBlob()
picsum_placeholder()->getBlob()

Use the methods below to set options

Width

PicsumPlaceholder::width(250);
picsum_placeholder()->width(410);

Height

PicsumPlaceholder::height(120);
picsum_placeholder()->height(540);

Blur

PicsumPlaceholder::blur(3);
picsum_placeholder()->blur(false);

Grayscale

PicsumPlaceholder::grayscale(true);
picsum_placeholder()->grayscale(false);

Random

PicsumPlaceholder::random(true);
picsum_placeholder()->grayscale(false);

All methods are chainable so nothing stops you from using

PicsumPlaceholder::width(120)->height(500)->grayscale(false)->blur(2)->getUrl();
