A package that generates a base64 encoded GIF with the dominant color of the given image (for lazy loading use)

Require the package via composer

composer require ghero/laravel-dominant-color

Include the service provider within your providers in config/app.php.

'providers' => [
    ...
    Ghero\DominantColor\DominantColorServiceProvider::class,
    ...    
];

Next, add the class alias to the aliases array of config/app.php.

'aliases' => [
    ...
    'DominantColor' => Ghero\DominantColor\Facades\DominantColor::class,
    ...    
];

Simply call DominantColor::create($file); passing a valid url to an Image or an Imagick instance

this will generate a string with the base 64 encoded 1x1 GIF (ex. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAI2JggAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=) The GIF is only 1 color, the dominant color of the image

You can then easily set this string as src attribute specifing the desired width and height:

<img src='data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIABAI2JggAAACwAAAAAAQABAAACAkQBADs=' width='200' height='200'/>

You can also get just the hex code of the dominant color using $color = DominantColor::setColor($file)->getColor(); The default output will be a plain hex code without the starting "#". You can customize the output passing an optional parameter to the getColor method: Available outputs:

• "hex": outputs complete hex code (ex. #FFFFFF)
• "rgb": outputs Rgb format string (ex. 255,255,255)
• "array": outputs Rgb format as an array (ex. ['r' => 255, 'g' => 255, 'b' => 255])

To get the base 64 encoded GIF from an hex code, just use $gif = DominantColor::setGif($color)->getGif().
