## Usage

Every library below produces the same SVG for the same seed and options.

HTTP API:

```
https://api.dicebear.com/10.x/critters/svg?seed=John
```

JavaScript:

```
npm install @dicebear/core @dicebear/styles --save
```

```js
import { Style, Avatar } from '@dicebear/core';
import definition from '@dicebear/styles/critters.json' with { type: 'json' };

const style = new Style(definition);
const avatar = new Avatar(style, { seed: 'John' });

const svg = avatar.toString();
```

PHP:

```
composer require dicebear/core dicebear/styles
```

```php
<?php

use Composer\InstalledVersions;
use DiceBear\Style;
use DiceBear\Avatar;

$basePath = InstalledVersions::getInstallPath('dicebear/styles');
$style = Style::fromJson(file_get_contents($basePath . '/src/critters.json'));

$avatar = new Avatar($style, ['seed' => 'John']);

$svg = (string) $avatar;
```

Python:

```
pip install dicebear-core dicebear-styles
```

```python
from importlib.resources import files

from dicebear import Avatar, Style

style = Style.from_json(
    files("dicebear_styles").joinpath("critters.json").read_text("utf-8")
)

avatar = Avatar(style, {"seed": "John"})

svg = avatar.to_string()
```

Rust:

```
cargo add dicebear-core serde_json
cargo add dicebear-styles --features critters
```

```rust
use dicebear_core::{Avatar, Style};
use serde_json::json;

let style = Style::from_str(dicebear_styles::CRITTERS)?;
let avatar = Avatar::new(&style, json!({ "seed": "John" }))?;

let svg = avatar.to_svg();
```

Go:

```
go get github.com/dicebear/dicebear-go/v10
go get github.com/dicebear/styles/v10
```

```go
import (
	dicebear "github.com/dicebear/dicebear-go/v10"
	"github.com/dicebear/styles/v10"
)

style, _ := dicebear.NewStyle([]byte(styles.Critters))
avatar, _ := dicebear.NewAvatar(style, map[string]any{"seed": "John"})

svg := avatar.SVG()
```

Dart:

```
dart pub add dicebear_core dicebear_styles
```

```dart
import 'package:dicebear_core/dicebear_core.dart';
import 'package:dicebear_styles/critters.dart';

final style = Style.parse(critters);
final avatar = Avatar(style, {'seed': 'John'});

final svg = avatar.svg;
```

CLI:

```
npm install --global dicebear
```

```
dicebear critters
```

## Presets

12 ready-made option sets for this style. Each is a plain set of
render options: pass it to any of the libraries or send it as HTTP-API query
parameters. You do not need to install anything for them, and any option a
preset leaves out keeps varying with the seed.

- **Bare:** No horns, no markings, no blush.
- **Sepia:** One warm brown ramp, ground included.
- **Greyscale:** No hue on body, markings or ground.
- **Duotone:** One mint critter on one deep green.
- **Muted:** A dusty menagerie.
- **Electric:** Bodies past anything the style ships.
- **Pastel Wall:** Pale ground behind the creature.
- **Bold Pop:** Saturated ground behind a pale creature.
- **Night Shift:** Near-black ground, bodies unchanged.
- **Sunrise:** A warm gradient behind the creature.
- **Full Cast:** Horns, markings and blush on everyone.
- **Animated:** Turns the style's built-in animation on.

The full option set of each one is at https://www.dicebear.com/styles/critters/presets/index.md.

## Options

Every option below works in all libraries and as a query parameter of the HTTP
API. The ones built from a component name (`<component>Variant`,
`<component>Probability`) or from a color group (`<group>Color`,
`<group>ColorFill`, `<group>ColorFillStops`, `<group>ColorAngle`,
`<group>ColorOrder`) belong to this style; the rest are
[core options](https://www.dicebear.com/guides/core-options/) that every style accepts.
