## Usage
Integrate the package script:
````html
<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.
````html
<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.
```javascript
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:

| `enable-face`      | 'true' or 'false'                                   | 'false'        | Displays eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, facial hair and glasses and lets the user customize the color and type           |
| `display-download` | 'true' or 'false'                                   | 'false'        | Displays a download button below the controls so the user can save the svg file on their device |
| `texts`            | JSON with all displayed text string. Structure below| see JSON below | Modify the display texts of the controls                                                        |
```json
{
    "everything": "EVERYTHING",
    "allColors": "All colors",
    "background": "Background", // optional
    "skin": "Skin",
    "hair": "Hair",
    "hairStyle": "Hair Style",
    "accessory": "Accessory",
    "clothes": "Clothes",
    "clothing": "Clothing",
    "print": "Print",
    "eyebrows": "Eyebrows", // optional
    "eyes": "Eyes", // optional
    "nose": "Nose", // optional
    "mouth": "Mouth", // optional
    "facialHair": "FacialHair", // optional
    "glasses": "Glasses" // optional
}
```
Keep attention that you integrate every property when using the `texts` attribute because it completely overwrites the default texts object.
