django-robohash-svg¶
Django app for creating svg robots
The idea: from any string (username, first name and last name, etc…), obtain a unique svg robot to display. This is useful for creating avatars or for testing purposes.
Installation¶
Install with pip:
pip install django_robohash
Then declare the app in your settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
'django_robohash',
]
Usage¶
If you want an inline image in your template use the robohash tag
{% load robohash %}
...
here is a robot:
{% robohash "a string" %}
a small one :
{% robohash "a string" width=100 height=100 %}
If you want to serve robot images, edit your urls.py and use robohash view
from django_robohash.views import robohash
urlpatterns = [
...
path('robohash/<string>/', robohash,
name='robohash')
]
You can custom the url if you want, but keep “<string>”.
Then you can display image like this
<img src="/robohash/{{ a_string }}/">
or
<img src="/robohash/{{ a_string }}/?width=120&height=120">
Default robots size is 300x300
You can generate the svg code by running this function:
from django_robohash.robotmaker import make_robot_svg
...
svg_code = make_robot_svg("my string", width=300, height=300)
