This is the source code for the PixelHoldr image placeholder generator. I have provided the code behind the site so that you may self-host the generator / help improve it / do what you want with it.
If you wish to use image placeholders without running this locally, please visit PixelHoldr.com.
MongoDB is used by PixelHoldr to keep track of image file paths. PixelHoldr will connect to the collection called pixelholdr.

PixelHoldr works with the following URL format
http://localhost:4567/{image type}/{image dimensions}/{optional image settings}
To add an image to your HTML, simply insert the URL in the src attribute of the img tag.
e.g.:
<img src="http://localhost:4567/cat/500">
