Polkadot Web Identicon
A generic identity icon that renders Substrate based chains identicons for html/javascript frontend applications.
This project is based on the polkadod-angular-identicon
Usage
The simplest way to use the component is to download it from npm
We assume you have npm
and node.js
installed in your environment.
- create a folder with a name of your choice for example :
pwi
(like polkadot-web-identicon 😎)
cd into the pwi
(or the one you created) folder.
Type npm init
to create the package.json
file that will allow us to download packages from npm.
For simplicity sake, type enter for each question and at the end the package.json
file should be created.
Create an index.html file that will contain the html and javascript code and past the following html snippet.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Testing polkadot-web-identicon</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Now we can install the polkadot-web-identicon
package from npm with :
npm i polkadot-web-identicon
After the installation completed we are ready to use the package we just need to do two things:
- import the component library code files
- call the component and use it with our parameters
These are the attributes
that we can pass to the polkadot-web-identicon
tag
address
: the Substrate blockhain based address to pass as parameter
theme
: the theme we want to display ( polkadot, beachball, jdenticon)
size
: the size we want our identicon to be.
Our final structure in the index.html file will look like this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Testing polkadot-web-identicon</title>
</head>
