  • Color of the icon as a css color. Default green.

• backgroundColor

  • Color of the icon as a css color. Default transparent.

• render()

  • Icon as SVG string.

• randomize()

  • Sets new random pattern to grid. Returns the render() Method.

Example

const Identicon = require('./src/identicon.js');
let image = new Identicon({color: "purple", backgroundColor: "white"});
console.log(image.render());

For web browser usage, use as commonJS module or remove module.exports = Identicon; from the JS file and use it like a regular class. Then use

let image = new Identicon();
console.log(image.render());

// Set new color and new random image
image.color = "#e61c1c";
icon.randomize();
console.log(image.render());
