A library to generate Gravatar URLs in Node.js Based on gravatar specs - http://en.gravatar.com/site/implement/hash/ and http://en.gravatar.com/site/implement/images/

Dependencies

• Node 10+

Development/Tests

Usage

var gravatar = require('gravatar');

gravatar.url(email);
gravatar.url(email, options);
gravatar.url(email, options, protocol);

gravatar.profile_url(email);
gravatar.profile_url(email, options);
gravatar.profile_url(email, options, protocol);

Where:

• email: The gravatar email
• options: Query string options. Ex: size or s, default or d, rating or r, forcedefault or f. Additional options not passed as a query string: protocol (e.g. "http" or "https") and format (only for profile_url, e.g. "xml", "qr", by default it is "json") Should be passed as an object. Ex: {s: '200', f: 'y', d: '404'}
• protocol Define if will use no protocol, http or https gravatar URL. Default is 'undefined', which generates URLs without protocol. True to force https and false to force http. It can also be set as protocol in options - see above.
