Avatar The Avatar component is used to represent a user, and displays the profile
picture, initials or fallback icon.
Chakra UI exports 3 avatar-related components:
Avatar: The image that represents the user.AvatarBadge: A wrapper that displays its content on the right corner of the
avatar.AvatarGroup: A wrapper to stack multiple Avatars together.import { Avatar , AvatarBadge } from "@chakra-ui/core"
< Wrap >
< Avatar name = " Dan Abrahmov " src = " https://bit.ly/dan-abramov " />
< Avatar name = " Kola Tioluwani " src = " https://bit.ly/tioluwani-kolawole " />
< Avatar name = " Kent Dodds " src = " https://bit.ly/kent-c-dodds " />
< Avatar name = " Ryan Florence " src = " https://bit.ly/ryan-florence " />
< Avatar name = " Prosper Otemuyiwa " src = " https://bit.ly/prosper-baba " />
< Avatar name = " Christian Nwamba " src = " https://bit.ly/code-beast " />
< Avatar name = " Segun Adebayo " src = " https://bit.ly/sage-adebayo " />

The Avatar component comes in 7 sizes.
< Wrap >
< Avatar size = " 2xs " name = " Dan Abrahmov " src = " https://bit.ly/dan-abramov " />
< Avatar
size = " xs "
name = " Kola Tioluwani "
src = " https://bit.ly/tioluwani-kolawole "
/>
< Avatar size = " sm " name = " Kent Dodds " src = " https://bit.ly/kent-c-dodds " />
< Avatar size = " md " name = " Ryan Florence " src = " https://bit.ly/ryan-florence " />
< Avatar
size = " lg "
name = " Prosper Otemuyiwa "
src = " https://bit.ly/prosper-baba "
/>
< Avatar size = " xl " name = " Christian Nwamba " src = " https://bit.ly/code-beast " />
< Avatar size = " 2xl " name = " Segun Adebayo " src = " https://bit.ly/sage-adebayo " />
</ Wrap >

If there was an error loading the src of the avatar, there are 2 fallbacks:
If there's a name prop, we use it to generate the initials and a random,
accessible background color. If there's no name prop, we use a default avatar. < Stack direction = " row " >
< Avatar name = " Oshigaki Kisame " src = " https://bit.ly/broken-link " />
< Avatar name = " Sasuke Uchiha " src = " https://bit.ly/broken-link " />
< Avatar src = " https://bit.ly/broken-link " />
</ Stack >

Customize the fallback avatar
# You can customize the background color and icon of the fallback avatar icon to
match your design requirements.
To update the background, pass the usual bg prop To update the icon svg, pass the icon prop < AvatarGroup spacing = " 1rem " >
< Avatar bg = " red.500 " icon = { < AiOutlineUser fontSize = " 1.5rem " /> } />
< Avatar bg = " teal.500 " />
</ AvatarGroup >

In some products, you might need to show a badge on the right corner of the
avatar, which we call a badge . Here's an example that shows if the user is
online:
< Stack direction = " row " spacing = { 4 } >
< Avatar >
< AvatarBadge boxSize = " 1.25em " bg = " green.500 " />
</ Avatar >
{ }
< Avatar >
< AvatarBadge borderColor = " papayawhip " bg = " tomato " boxSize = " 1.25em " />
</ Avatar >
</ Stack >

Note the use of em for the size of the AvatarBadge. This is useful to size
the badge relative to the avatar font size.
In some cases, you might need to stack avatars as a group. Use the AvatarGroup
component.
To limit the amount of avatars to show, use the max prop. It'll truncate the
avatars and show a "+X" label (where X is the remaining avatars). To size all the avatars equally, pass the size prop. To adjust the spacing between the avatars, pass the spacing prop. < AvatarGroup size = " md " max = { 2 } >
< Avatar name = " Ryan Florence " src = " https://bit.ly/ryan-florence " />
< Avatar name = " Segun Adebayo " src = " https://bit.ly/sage-adebayo " />
< Avatar name = " Kent Dodds " src = " https://bit.ly/kent-c-dodds " />
< Avatar name = " Prosper Otemuyiwa " src = " https://bit.ly/prosper-baba " />
< Avatar name = " Christian Nwamba " src = " https://bit.ly/code-beast " />
</ AvatarGroup >

Changing the initials logic
# Added getInitials prop to allow users to manage how initials are generated
from name. By default we merge the first characters of each word in the name
prop.
The Avatar component composes Box component so you can pass props for Box.
