@shohanean full error message please 😄

from avatar.

I just require the package, then published the vendor.
In my controller which is Called ProfileController.php I added
Use use Avatar;
Then in index method I just tried to echo like this:
echo Avatar::create('Joko Widodo')->toBase64();
Then the error came out!

Error
Class name must be a valid object or a string

from avatar.

In line:
vendor\laravolt\avatar\src\ServiceProvider.php:38

from avatar.

So it is related to config file:

  // Initial generator class
    'generator' => \Laravolt\Avatar\Generator\DefaultGenerator::class,

Could you confirm that you have that entry in config/laravolt/avatar.php ?

Or, you can check using php artisan tinker, what is the output of the following code:
config(laravolt.avatar.generator)

from avatar.

I'm having the same issue here.

The output of config('laravolt.avatar.generator') in tinker is null

from avatar.

I solved this just like @dieume-n .

Perhaps the documentation should remind us to rebuild the config cache.
