Avatar

A graphical representation of the user, often used in profile sections.

Anatomy

To set up the avatar correctly, you'll need to understand its anatomy and how we name its parts.

Each part includes a data-part attribute to help identify them in the DOM.

Examples

Learn how to use the Avatar component in your project. Let's take a look at the most basic example:

import { Avatar } from '@ark-ui/react'

export const Basic = () => (
  <Avatar.Root>
    <Avatar.Fallback>PA</Avatar.Fallback>
    <Avatar.Image src="https://i.pravatar.cc/300" alt="avatar" />
  </Avatar.Root>
)

import { Avatar } from '@ark-ui/solid'

export const Basic = () => (
  <Avatar.Root>
    <Avatar.Fallback>PA</Avatar.Fallback>
    <Avatar.Image src="https://i.pravatar.cc/300" alt="avatar" />
  </Avatar.Root>
)

<script setup lang="ts">
import { Avatar } from '@ark-ui/vue'
</script>

<template>
  <Avatar.Root>
    <Avatar.Fallback>PA</Avatar.Fallback>
    <Avatar.Image src="https://i.pravatar.cc/3000" alt="avatar" />
  </Avatar.Root>
</template>

Handling Events

Avatar allows you to listen for loading state changes.

import { Avatar } from '@ark-ui/react'

export const Events = () => {
  const handleStatusChange = (details: Avatar.StatusChangeDetails) => {
    console.log(details.status)
  }
  return (
    <Avatar.Root onStatusChange={handleStatusChange}>
      <Avatar.Fallback>PA</Avatar.Fallback>
      <Avatar.Image src="https://i.pravatar.cc/3000" alt="avatar" />
    </Avatar.Root>
  )
}

import { Avatar } from '@ark-ui/solid'

export const Events = () => {
  const handleStatusChange = (details: Avatar.StatusChangeDetails) => {
    console.log(details.status)
  }

  return (
    <Avatar.Root onStatusChange={handleStatusChange}>
      <Avatar.Fallback>PA</Avatar.Fallback>
      <Avatar.Image src="https://i.pravatar.cc/3000" alt="avatar" />
    </Avatar.Root>
  )
}

<script setup lang="ts">
import { Avatar } from '@ark-ui/vue'
</script>

<template>
  <Avatar.Root @status-change="(e) => console.log(e.status)">
    <Avatar.Fallback>PA</Avatar.Fallback>
    <Avatar.Image src="https://i.pravatar.cc/3000" alt="avatar" />
  </Avatar.Root>
</template>
