This package is intended to be used for quickly generating placeholder images with a specific size, color and text. For more complex use cases, you may want to turn to something like stil/gd-text.
- PHP 8.1 or higher
- GD extension
Make sure you require this package in your composer.json:
composer require nicoverbruggen/image-generator
See the example source file that is used to generate and save the sample images. You can generate the following examples:
Please note that for testing purposes, I used Roboto Black as the TrueType font. (This font is not included in this repository.)
You can also check out the other source file. You can point your browser directly at this file (assuming you're running a PHP server, of course) and it will directly return a file since the path is set to null.
If you do not supply a TrueType font path:
- you will be limited in font size options (1 through 5)
- you will not be able to render multiline text
./vendor/bin/phpunit tests
I am not planning to expand the features of this package at this time. If you've made an improvement or fixed something, you are free to send me a pull request.
