Avatar is a graphical representation of an object or entity, for example a person or an organisation.

Avatar has three properties: name, abbreviation and image.

The name is shown on hover in a tooltip. When a name is set, Avatar will auto-generate and display an abbreviation of the specified name. For example, “Allison Torres” becomes “AT”, “John Smith” becomes “JS”, etc.

The abbreviation can also be set manually. Abbreviations should be kept to a maximum of 2–3 characters.

Avatar can be used to display images, such as user profile pictures or company logos. Abbreviations are not shown when images are used.

Note that this component is optimized for use with Collaboration Engine — a simple way to build real-time collaboration into your app — but can also be used standalone as a regular component.
