Avatar
Avatars are found throughout material design with uses in everything from tables to dialog menus.
Image avatars
Image avatars can be created by passing standard img props src or srcSet to the component.
Letter avatars
Avatars containing simple characters can be created by passing a string as children.
You can use different background colors for the avatar. The following demo generates the color based on the name of the person.
Sizes
You can change the size of the avatar with the height and width CSS properties.
Icon avatars
Icon avatars are created by passing an icon as children.
Variants
If you need square or rounded avatars, use the variant prop.
Fallbacks
If there is an error loading the avatar image, the component falls back to an alternative in the following order:
- the provided children
- the first letter of the
alttext - a generic avatar icon
Grouped
AvatarGroup renders its children as a stack. Use the max prop to limit the number of avatars.
Total avatars
If you need to control the total number of avatars not shown, you can use the total prop.
Custom surplus
Set the renderSurplus prop as a callback to customize the surplus avatar. The callback will receive the surplus number as an argument based on the children and the max prop, and should return a React.ReactNode.
The renderSurplus prop is useful when you need to render the surplus based on the data sent from the server.
API
