Getting started

Using Jdenticon is simple. Follow the steps below to integrate Jdenticon into your website.

1. Add identicon placeholders

Jdenticon is able to render both raster and vector identicons. Raster icons are rendered slightly faster than vector icons, but vector icons scale better on high resolution screens. Add a canvas to render a raster icon, or an inline svg element to render a vector icon.

<!-- Vector icon -->
<svg width="80" height="80" data-jdenticon-value="icon value"></svg>

<!-- OR -->

<!-- Raster icon -->
<canvas width="80" height="80" data-jdenticon-value="icon value"></canvas>

2. Add reference to Jdenticon

Include the Jdenticon library somewhere on your page. You can either host it yourself or use it right off jsDelivr.

<!-- Using jsDelivr -->
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jdenticon@3.3.0/dist/jdenticon.min.js"
        integrity="sha384-LfouGM03m83ArVtne1JPk926e3SGD0Tz8XHtW2OKGsgeBU/UfR0Fa8eX+UlwSSAZ"
        crossorigin="anonymous">
</script>

<!-- OR -->

<!-- Hosting it yourself -->
<script src="-path-to-/jdenticon.min.js"></script>

That's it!
