How to use it?

var avatarMe = require('avatar-me')

avatarMe.fetchAvatar('[email protected]', 'jorge', (err, avatar) => {
  if (err) console.log(err)
  console.log(avatar)
})

Configuration? Yes, please!

Basic configuration

var avatarMe = require('avatar-me')

avatarMe.configure({
  defaultAvatar: 'mySuperAwesomeDefaultAvatar.png',
  defaultAvatarPath: 'http://my/super/awesome/path/to/default/images/'
})

avatarMe.fetchAvatar('[email protected]', 'jorge', (err, avatar) => {
  if (err) console.log(err)
  console.log(avatar)
})

### Cache configuration using Redis. No more extra api calls!

In 0.1.0 we have introduced support to cache results with Redis! Just add redis to the avatar me config and it will create a new redis client.

var avatarMe = require('./index.js')

avatarMe.configure({
  defaultAvatar: 'mySuperAwesomeDefaultAvatar.png',
  defaultAvatarPath: 'http://my/super/awesome/path/to/default/images/',
  cache: {
	  host: '127.0.0.1',
	  port: '6379'
  },
  shouldFetchGmail: false,
  shouldFetchGravatar: false
})

avatarMe.fetchAvatar('[email protected]', 'jorge', (err, avatar) => {
	console.log(err)
	console.log(avatar)
})
