Usage

Integrate the package script:

<script type="module" src="https://unpkg.com/custom-avatar-generator@1.2.0"></script>

Add the Angular Element with optional attributes to adapt the avatar generator.

<custom-avatar-generator 
  shape="square" 
  enable-background="true" 
  display-download="true" 
  texts='{"everything":"EVERYTHING","allColors":"All colors","background":"Background","skin":"Skin","hair":"Hair","hairStyle":"Hair Style","accessory":"Accessory","clothes":"Clothes","clothing":"Clothing","print":"Print"}'>
<custom-avatar-generator 

On every change the component fires an event with the current svg url, so you can listen to it (and e.g. store it in a variable to save it to your database when the user clicks "save") - or whatever you want to do with the svg.

const el = document.querySelector('custom-avatar-generator');
el.addEventListener('svgUrl', (event) => {
    const mySvgUrl = event.detail;
    console.log(mySvgUrl);
    // do whatever you want here
});

Attributes

All input attributes are optional and have a default. Possible inputs are:
