Avatar

Avatar displays a user's picture. This helps aid easy recognition of the user. This kit is normally not used by itself, but rather used within other kits.
The only time Avatar should be used instead of the User kit is when you are not going to display the user's name.

Monogram

This is used when there is no avatar for a particular user.

<%= pb_rails("avatar", props: { name: "Terry Johnson", size: "xxs" }) %>
<%= pb_rails("avatar", props: { name: "Terry Johnson", size: "xs" }) %>
<%= pb_rails("avatar", props: { name: "Terry Johnson", size: "sm" }) %>
<%= pb_rails("avatar", props: { name: "Terry Johnson", size: "md" }) %>
<%= pb_rails("avatar", props: { name: "Terry Johnson", size: "lg" }) %>
<%= pb_rails("avatar", props: { name: "Terry Johnson", size: "xl" }) %>

Bad Image Link

A monagram is used as a fallback when an invalid or missing image url is provided.

<%= pb_rails("avatar", props: { image_url: "", name: "Terry Johnson", size: "xxs" }) %>
<%= pb_rails("avatar", props: { image_url: true, name: "Terry Johnson", size: "xs" }) %>
<%= pb_rails("avatar", props: { image_url: 4, name: "Terry Johnson", size: "sm" }) %>
<%= pb_rails("avatar", props: { image_url: "https://google.com", name: "Terry Johnson", size: "md" }) %>
<%= pb_rails("avatar", props: { image_url: "", name: "Terry Johnson", size: "lg" }) %>
<%= pb_rails("avatar", props: { image_url: "https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/men/notapicture.jpg", name: "Terry Johnson", size: "xl" }) %>

Status

The Status prop is used to display a user's online status like popular chat apps.

<%= pb_rails("avatar", props: {
    name: "Terry Johnson",
    size: "sm",
    image_alt: "Terry Johnson Status",
    image_url: "https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/men/44.jpg"
  }) %>

<br>

  <%= pb_rails("avatar", props: {
    name: "Terry Johnson",
    size: "sm",
    image_alt: "Terry Johnson Online",
    image_url: "https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/men/44.jpg",
    status: "online"
  }) %>

  <br>

<%= pb_rails("avatar", props: {
    name: "Terry Johnson",
    size: "sm",
    image_alt: "Terry Johnson Away",
    image_url: "https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/men/44.jpg",
    status: "away"
  }) %>

  <br>

<%= pb_rails("avatar", props: {
    name: "Terry Johnson",
    size: "sm",
    image_alt: "Terry Johnson Offline",
    image_url: "https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/men/44.jpg",
    status: "offline"
  }) %>

Icon Circle Component Overlay

NOTE: All componentOverlay implementations require a placement prop, that accepts any of the following values: top-right, top-left, bottom-right, bottom-left, top-center, bottom-center, left-center, and right-center.

When passing the iconCircle component as an overlay, you must also specify an icon, and you may optionally control the color by passing an approved value as a variant.

  <%= pb_rails("avatar", props: {
    component_overlay: {
        component: "icon_circle",
        icon: "shield",
        placement: "bottom-right",
        variant: "royal"
    },
    name: "Terry Johnson",
    size: "sm",
    image_url: "https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/men/44.jpg",
    margin_bottom: "sm"
  }) %>

  <%= pb_rails("avatar", props: {
    component_overlay: {
        component: "icon_circle",
        icon: "check",
        placement: "top-right",
        variant: "green"
    },
    name: "Terry Johnson",
    size: "md",
    image_url: "https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/men/44.jpg",
    margin_bottom: "sm"
  }) %>

  <%= pb_rails("avatar", props: {
    component_overlay: {
        component: "icon_circle",
        icon: "lock",
        placement: "top-left",
        variant: "red"
    },
    name: "Terry Johnson",
    size: "lg",
    image_url: "https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/men/44.jpg",
    margin_bottom: "sm"
  }) %>

  <%= pb_rails("avatar", props: {
    component_overlay: {
        component: "icon_circle",
        icon: "star",
        placement: "left-center",
        variant: "yellow"
    },
    name: "Terry Johnson",
    size: "xl",
    image_url: "https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/men/44.jpg",
    margin_bottom: "sm"
  }) %>

Badge Component Overlay

On Roadtrip

Out of Office

When passing the badge component as an overlay, you must also specify its text content,and you may optionally control the color by passing an approved value as a variant.

 <%= pb_rails("avatar", props: {
      component_overlay: {
          component: "badge",
          text: "12",
          placement: "bottom-right"
      },
      name: "Terry Johnson",
      size: "sm",
      image_url: "https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/men/44.jpg",
      margin_bottom: "sm"
    }) %>

    <%= pb_rails("avatar", props: {
      component_overlay: {
          component: "badge",
          text: "12",
          placement: "top-left"
      },
      name: "Terry Johnson",
      size: "md",
      image_url: "https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/men/44.jpg",
      margin_bottom: "sm"
    }) %>

    <%= pb_rails("avatar", props: {
      component_overlay: {
          component: "badge",
          text: "On Roadtrip",
          placement: "top-center",
          variant: "info"
      },
      name: "Terry Johnson",
      size: "lg",
      image_url: "https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/men/44.jpg",
      margin_bottom: "sm"
    }) %>

    <%= pb_rails("avatar", props: {
      component_overlay: {
          component: "badge",
          text: "Out of Office",
          placement: "bottom-center",
          variant: "error"
      },
      name: "Terry Johnson",
      size: "xl",
      image_url: "https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/men/44.jpg",
      margin_bottom: "sm"
    }) %>

Things to Avoid

Avoid using Avatar with the user's name right next to it or under it. Use User kit instead. Do not use this kit for images that are not profile pictures.
