The Growing Risk of Malicious Browser Extensions

#Navatar, the Node.js Avatar Generator

- this process works but is slow)Navatar uses built-in algorithms to create cellular automata, a la Stephen Wolfram's "A New Kind of Science", which heavily influenced this project. When the MiddleWare is invoked, an SVG is randomly generated based on the key provided, and sent to the user.
npm install --save navatar
express
MiddleWare...const { getNavatarMiddleware } = require('navatar');
const express = require(`express`);
const app = new express();
app.use('/avatar/:key.svg',getNavatarMiddleware());
app.listen(666);
Now, your /avatar
route will serve up SVGs!
Pass width and height as query paramaters to modify the size of the generated glyph. (It is recommended to use the same value for width and height.)
//example
http://localhost/avatar/this-rocks.svg?height=150&width=150
