Hi everyone,
A quick post on a helper function I came across for generating avatars. This function generates a random color for the specified string:
export const stringToColor = string => {
let hash = 0;
let i;
for (i = 0; i < string.length; i += 1) {
hash = string.charCodeAt(i) + ((hash << 5) - hash);
}
let colour = '#';
for (i = 0; i > (i * 8)) & 0xff;
colour += `00${value.toString(16)}`.substr(-2);
}
return colour;
}
