Placeholdit

A helper for creating placeholder images via http://placehold.it. Works with Rails, or without.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'placeholdit'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install placeholdit

Usage

A basic 500x500 placeholder image:

	$ <%= placeholdit_image_tag "500" %>

A basic 250x250 placeholder image:

	$ <%= placeholdit_image_tag "250x250" %>

The same placeholder image with custom text:

	$ <%= placeholdit_image_tag "250x250", text: "Buy me!" %>

The same placeholder image with a blue background:

	$ <%= placeholdit_image_tag "250x250", text: "Buy me!", background_color: '#004eff' %>

The same placeholder image with a blue background and red text (not recommended):

	$ <%= placeholdit_image_tag "250x250", text: "Buy me!", background_color: '#004eff', text_color: '#ff0000' %>

Alternatively, simply calling placeholdit will work just the same:

	$ <%= placeholdit "250x250", text: "Look at me!" %>
