Check out the [official guide](http://guides.cocoapods.org/using/index.html) for getting started with CocoaPods.

##### Swift Package Manager

You can use the [Swift Package Manager](https://swift.org/package-manager/) to install `InitialsImageView` by adding it to the `dependencies` value of your `Package.swift`:

```swift
dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/bachonk/InitialsImageView.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "0.0.0"))
]
```

##### Manual

1. Drag the `InitialsImageView.swift` file into your project
2. Enjoy!

### Usage

##### Methods

Call the following methods on any `UIImageView` instance to set the image:

+ `setImageForName(string: String, backgroundColor: UIColor?, circular: Bool, textAttributes: [String: AnyObject]?)`

`string` is the string used to generate the initials. This should be a user's full name if available.

`backgroundColor` is an optional parameter that sets the background color of the image. Pass in `nil` to have a color automatically generated for you.

`circular` is a boolean parameter that will automatically clip the image to a circle if enabled.

`textAttributes` is an optional dictionary of predefined character attributes for text. You can find the list of available keys in NSAttributedString

##### Example

```
let randomImage: UIImageView = UIImageView.init(frame: CGRect(x: self.view.bounds.midX - 40, y: self.view.bounds.midY - 80 - 40, width: 80, height: 80))
randomImage.setImageForName(string: "Michael Bluth", backgroundColor: nil, circular: true, textAttributes: nil)
```
