Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

get-gravatar

Get a Gravatar image from an identifier, such as an email

Install

$ npm install get-gravatar

Usage

import fs from 'node:fs/promises';
import getGravatar from 'get-gravatar';

const image = await getGravatar('[email protected]', {size: 200});
await fs.writeFile('sindre.png', image);

console.log('Successfully downloaded the Gravatar image');

API

getGravatar(identifier, options?)

Returns a promise for the image as a Buffer.

identifier

Type: string

The identifier for which to get the Gravatar image.

This will typically be an email matching a Gravatar profile, but can technically be any string.

The Gravatar service only sees a hash of the identifier, so you could actually use this to get pseudo-random avatars for any entity, e.g. based on its ID.

Note that if the identifier contains an @, it is assumed to be an email, and will therefore be lower-cased and trimmed before hashing, as per the Gravatar instructions - otherwise it will be hashed as-is.

options

Type: object

size

Type: number
Default: 80
Values: 1..2048

The size of the image.

default

Type: string
Default: This image
Values: Custom URL or 404, mm, identicon, monsterid, wavatar, retro, blank

The image to return if the identifier didn't match any Gravatar profile.

rating

Type: string
Default: 'g'
Values: 'g' | 'pg' | 'r' | 'x'

The allowed rating of the image.
