ChatGPT UI Avatar - Horizon AI Template

The Avatar component is used to represent a user, and displays the profile picture, initials or fallback icon.

Import#

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, AvatarGroup } from "@chakra-ui/react"

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.

  <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="brand.500" />
</AvatarGroup>
<AvatarGroup spacing="1rem">
  <Avatar bg="red.500" icon={<AiOutlineUser fontSize="1.5rem" />} />
  <Avatar bg="brand.500" />
</AvatarGroup>

Avatar with badge#

In some products, you might need to show a badge on the right corner of the avatar. We call this 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>
  {/* You can also change the borderColor and bg of the badge */}
  <Avatar>
    <AvatarBadge borderColor="papayawhip" bg="tomato" boxSize="1.25em" />
  </Avatar>
</Stack>
<Stack direction="row" spacing={4}>
  <Avatar>
    <AvatarBadge boxSize="1.25em" bg="green.500" />
  </Avatar>
  {/* You can also change the borderColor and bg of the badge */}
  <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.

AvatarGroup#

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.
