Avatar Fallbacks

If there is 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.

If the showFallback is not passed, the fallbacks will not be displayed.

Custom Fallback

You can also provide a custom fallback component to be displayed when the src fails to load.

Custom Implementation

In case you need to customize the avatar even further, you can use the useAvatar hook to create your own implementation.

Custom initials logic

It is possible to customize the logic used to generate the initials by passing a function to the getInitials prop. By default we merge the first characters of each word in the name prop.

Avatar Group

Group Disabled

Group Max Count

You can limit the number of avatars displayed by passing the max prop to the AvatarGroup component.

Group Total Count

You can display the total number of avatars by passing the total prop to the AvatarGroup component.

Group Custom count

NextUI provides a renderCount prop to customize the count displayed when the total prop is passed.

Group Grid

By passing the isGrid prop to the AvatarGroup component, the avatars will be displayed in a grid layout.

Group Custom Implementation

In case you need to customize the avatar group even further, you can use the useAvatarGroup hook and the AvatarGroupProvider to create your own implementation.
