Usage

$faker = \Faker\Factory::create();
$faker->addProvider(new \AdminUI\FakerPicsumImages\FakerPicsumImagesProvider($faker));

// return a string that contains a url like 'https://picsum.photos/800/600/'
$faker->imageUrl($width = 800, $height = 600); 

// download a properly sized image from picsum into a file with a file path like '/tmp/13b73edae8443990be1aa8f1a483bc27.jpg'
$filePath= $faker->image($dir = '/tmp', $width = 640, $height = 480);

• alternative webp format
• effects (grayscale, blurry)
