npm run sample

The jazzicon function generates a colorful, collage-style identicon as a DOM element. It requires two arguments:

1. diameter (Number): The pixel diameter of the generated icon.
2. seed (Integer): A JavaScript integer used to seed the shape of the icon.

The function returns a DOM element that can be appended directly to the document.

var jazzicon = require('jazzicon')

// Generate an icon with 100px diameter and a random seed
var el = jazzicon(100, Math.round(Math.random() * 10000000))

// Use the returned DOM element
document.body.appendChild(el)

The generateIdenticon function creates a DOM element containing an SVG identicon. The visual output is determined by a diameter and a seed integer. The function uses a Mersenne Twister PRNG seeded with your input to ensure that the same seed always produces the same visual pattern.

Parameters:

• diameter (Number): The width and height of the resulting SVG in pixels.
• seed (Integer): An integer used to seed the random number generator, ensuring deterministic output.

Returns:

• HTMLElement: A container element (generated via paperGen) containing the constructed <svg> and its shape elements.

const generateIdenticon = require('jazzicon');

// Generate a 100px identicon using seed 12345
const identicon = generateIdenticon(100, 12345);

// Append it to the document
document.body.appendChild(identicon);
