Profile Picture Generator

How to embed

The generator is published to npmjs.org and can be directly emdedded using the unpkg CDN using the following url: https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/profile-picture-generator.js. Additonally to this file a template image and a preview image for every supported language is required.

When the script is embedded the generator can be created by adding a element to the page with the class pbg-container and then executing the following JavaScript code. The urls for the templateUrl and imagePreview need to be adjusted beforehand. An explanation of the different configuration options can be found further down.

window.ProfilePictureGenerator({
  container: document.querySelector('.pbg-container'),
  initialLanguage: 'en',
  languages: {
    en: {
      name: 'English',
      templateUrl: "https://fridaysforfuture.de/src/bayern/dist/src/templates/bayern_2020-03-13/template.png",
      imagePreview: "https://fridaysforfuture.de/src/bayern/dist/src/templates/bayern_2020-03-13/preview.png"
    }
  }
});

Template Image

The template image should be a quadratic image that can be overlayed over the profile picture, eg. the parts of the image at which the profile picture should be visible need to be transparent. Examples of such images can be seen in the templates folder. The template should be 1200px x 1200px while the avatar will fill the inner 848px x 848px of the generated image.

Preview Image

The preview image should be created by first creating the generator without it and then generating an image using the generator. The image should be 1200x1200px of size.

Tracking

The profile picture generator can track it's views, when an image is generated and downloaded to an analytics server. The uploaded images or information about these is never send to any server. This can be enabled in the settings by setting tracking to true and configuring the piwikHost and piwikPageId settings. The tracking also respects the doNotTrack information send by the browser.
