Usage

Installing

First install my-avatars by running npm i my-avatars

Import

Now you'll need to import { Generator, Layer, Item } from my-avatars in your js-file.

Building

To build the generator, you'll have to have some images at hand. These should be made into Item's, by new Item('./images/face.png').

Next, we'll need a Layer: new Layer('faces', 0), this layer should have a name - for your own convenience - and an id, which can correspond to the z-index in css.

NB: No two layers can't have the same index.

Next-up, we'll need to pass in all of the Item's, like so: faceLayer.addItem(item).

Generator

Now for the magical part, the Generator. Start by creating a new Generator, by new Generator(400, 400, app). Whereas the first 400 is the width of the avatar, next is the height and last argument is the parent element of, to which the avatar-canvas should be injected.
