Credits and Attribution

This library is a fork of ngx-avatars, originally created by HaithemMosbahi and maintained by Tiago Casinhas.

The original work provided an excellent foundation for avatar management in Angular applications. This fork was created to:

• Provide a standalone component architecture
• Ensure compatibility with the latest Angular versions
• Integrate seamlessly with the ng-hub-ui component ecosystem
• Add new features and improvements while maintaining the original functionality

All credit for the original implementation goes to the original authors and contributors of ngx-avatars.

Description

A versatile avatar component for Angular applications that fetches or generates avatars based on user information. The component includes a sophisticated fallback system that attempts different sources if the primary source fails.

You can use this component with either a single source or multiple avatar sources, with the fallback system automatically selecting the first valid avatar.

Additionally, the component can display name initials or custom values as avatars.

Supported avatar sources:

• Facebook
• Google
• Twitter
• Instagram
• Vkontakte (VK)
• Skype
• Gravatar (🚧 Under construction)
• GitHub
• Custom image
• Name initials
• Value

The fallback system follows the same order as the source list above, with Facebook having the highest priority.

Installation

Install the avatar component using npm:

npm install ng-hub-ui-avatar --save

Or using yarn:

yarn add ng-hub-ui-avatar

Usage

As this is a standalone component, you don't need to import any module. Just import the component directly in your standalone components or pages:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { NgHubUiAvatar } from 'ng-hub-ui-avatar';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-my-component',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [NgHubUiAvatar],
  template: `
    <ng-hub-ui-avatar></ng-hub-ui-avatar>
  `
})
export class MyComponent { }

If you're using NgModule (legacy approach), you can import it in your components array:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { NgHubUiAvatar } from 'ng-hub-ui-avatar';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    // other imports...
  ],
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Use it in your components:

<ng-hub-ui-avatar></ng-hub-ui-avatar>
