## Transcript

hey what's up welcome back in this episode you're going to see how to add gravatar to rails but really you're going to watch github co-pilot right most of it because github co-pilot is going to know enough of how to implement gravatar with ruby on rails that it's going to be pretty easy so in the top right we see this demo face this is in all the tailwind ui demos so what we're going to do is open up so this is actually we want to we're going to open up application helper and we're going to add a new method here called gravatar for and then even like look at this okay so uh this is this is it so we want to do the hex the md5 hex digest of some users email.downcase let's make this the current user and then we'll remove the user from the arguments here and then instead of passing in any options we'll actually just make this gravatar we'll just call this like yeah gravatar gravatar url okay so we're going to return just the gravatar url and we don't actually need a size and this is going to be it this is all that we need so now that we have this gravatar url we can go over to our application html erb find that image tag where we have the person's face and we're going to replace the source with gravatar url and now if we come back over here and hit refresh we now have a gravatar url now this is showing like this because this user is the test user now obviously we're going to need to make sure that that gravatar url method is not called anywhere where we don't have a current user logged in but that is really all there is to it thanks so much for watching and we'll see you in the next one [Music]
