description: The React Avatar component is used to display circular user profile pictures. React avatars can portray people or objects and support images, icons, or letters.

Showcase React avatars using images. These avatars are typically circular and can display user profile pictures.

Use letters inside avatars to represent users or objects when images are not available. This can be useful for displaying initials.

Incorporate icons within React avatars, allowing for a visual representation using scalable vector graphics (SVG).

Fancy larger or smaller react avatar component? Add `size="xl"`, `size="lg"`, `size="md"` or `size="sm"` for additional sizes.

<CAvatar color="secondary" size="md">CUI</CAvatar>

Add a status indicator to avatars using the `status` property to show online or offline status.

React avatars use local CSS variables on `.avatar` for enhanced real-time customization. Values for the CSS variables are set via Sass, so Sass customization is still supported, too.

<ScssDocs file="_avatar.scss" capture="avatar-css-vars"/>

const vars = {

'--my-css-var': 10,

'--my-another-css-var': 'red',

}

return <CAvatar style={vars}>...</CAvatar>

<ScssDocs file="_variables.scss" capture="avatar-variables"/>
