## Basic

A basic avatar component with an image and a fallback.

```tsx title="src/components/examples/avatar/avatar-basic.tsx"
import { Avatar, AvatarFallback, AvatarImage } from "@/components/ui/avatar"

export function AvatarDemo() {
  return (
    <Avatar>
      <AvatarImage
        src="https://github.com/shadcn.png"
        alt="@shadcn"
        className="grayscale"
      />
      <AvatarFallback>CN</AvatarFallback>
    </Avatar>
  )
}
```

## Badge

Use the `AvatarBadge` component to add a badge to the avatar.

```tsx title="src/components/examples/avatar/avatar-badge.tsx"
import {
  Avatar,
  AvatarBadge,
  AvatarFallback,
  AvatarImage,
} from "@/components/ui/avatar"

export function AvatarWithBadge() {

      <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/shadcn.png" alt="@shadcn" />
      <AvatarFallback>CN</AvatarFallback>
      <AvatarBadge className="bg-green-600 dark:bg-green-800" />

  <AvatarFallback>CN</AvatarFallback>
  <AvatarBadge className="bg-green-600 dark:bg-green-800" />
</Avatar>
```

## Badge with Icon

You can also use an icon inside `<AvatarBadge>`.

```tsx title="src/components/examples/avatar/avatar-badge-icon.tsx"
import { PlusIcon } from "lucide-react"

import {
  Avatar,
  AvatarBadge,
  AvatarFallback,
  AvatarImage,
} from "@/components/ui/avatar"

export function AvatarBadgeIconExample() {
  return (
    <Avatar className="grayscale">
      <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/pranathip.png" alt="@pranathip" />
      <AvatarFallback>PP</AvatarFallback>
      <AvatarBadge>
        <PlusIcon />
      </AvatarBadge>
    </Avatar>
  )
}
```

## Avatar Group

Use the `AvatarGroup` component to add a group of avatars.

```tsx title="src/components/examples/avatar/avatar-group.tsx"
import {
  Avatar,
  AvatarFallback,
  AvatarGroup,
  AvatarImage,
} from "@/components/ui/avatar"

export function AvatarGroupExample() {
  return (
    <AvatarGroup className="grayscale">
      <Avatar>
        <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/shadcn.png" alt="@shadcn" />
        <AvatarFallback>CN</AvatarFallback>
      </Avatar>
      <Avatar>
        <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/maxleiter.png" alt="@maxleiter" />
        <AvatarFallback>LR</AvatarFallback>
      </Avatar>
      <Avatar>
        <AvatarImage
          src="https://github.com/evilrabbit.png"
          alt="@evilrabbit"
        />
        <AvatarFallback>ER</AvatarFallback>
      </Avatar>
    </AvatarGroup>
  )
}
```

## Avatar Group Count

Use `<AvatarGroupCount>` to add a count to the group.

```tsx title="src/components/examples/avatar/avatar-group-count.tsx"
import {
  Avatar,
  AvatarFallback,
  AvatarGroup,
  AvatarGroupCount,
  AvatarImage,
} from "@/components/ui/avatar"

export function AvatarGroupCountExample() {
  return (
    <AvatarGroup className="grayscale">
      <Avatar>
        <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/shadcn.png" alt="@shadcn" />
        <AvatarFallback>CN</AvatarFallback>
      </Avatar>
      <Avatar>
        <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/maxleiter.png" alt="@maxleiter" />
        <AvatarFallback>LR</AvatarFallback>
      </Avatar>
      <Avatar>
        <AvatarImage
          src="https://github.com/evilrabbit.png"
          alt="@evilrabbit"
        />
        <AvatarFallback>ER</AvatarFallback>
      </Avatar>
      <AvatarGroupCount>+3</AvatarGroupCount>
    </AvatarGroup>
  )
}
```

## Avatar Group with Icon

You can also use an icon inside `<AvatarGroupCount>`.

```tsx title="src/components/examples/avatar/avatar-group-count-icon.tsx"
import { PlusIcon } from "lucide-react"

import {
  Avatar,
  AvatarFallback,
  AvatarGroup,
  AvatarGroupCount,
  AvatarImage,
} from "@/components/ui/avatar"

export function AvatarGroupCountIconExample() {
  return (
    <AvatarGroup className="grayscale">
      <Avatar>
        <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/shadcn.png" alt="@shadcn" />
        <AvatarFallback>CN</AvatarFallback>
      </Avatar>
      <Avatar>
        <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/maxleiter.png" alt="@maxleiter" />
        <AvatarFallback>LR</AvatarFallback>
      </Avatar>
      <Avatar>
        <AvatarImage
          src="https://github.com/evilrabbit.png"
          alt="@evilrabbit"
        />
        <AvatarFallback>ER</AvatarFallback>
      </Avatar>
      <AvatarGroupCount>
        <PlusIcon />
      </AvatarGroupCount>
    </AvatarGroup>
  )
}
```

## Sizes

Use the `size` prop to change the size of the avatar.

```tsx title="src/components/examples/avatar/avatar-size.tsx"
import { Avatar, AvatarFallback, AvatarImage } from "@/components/ui/avatar"

export function AvatarSizeExample() {
  return (
    <div className="flex flex-wrap items-center gap-2 grayscale">
      <Avatar size="sm">
        <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/shadcn.png" alt="@shadcn" />
        <AvatarFallback>CN</AvatarFallback>
      </Avatar>
      <Avatar>
        <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/shadcn.png" alt="@shadcn" />
        <AvatarFallback>CN</AvatarFallback>
      </Avatar>
      <Avatar size="lg">
        <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/shadcn.png" alt="@shadcn" />
        <AvatarFallback>CN</AvatarFallback>
      </Avatar>
    </div>
  )
}
```

## Dropdown

You can use the `Avatar` component as a trigger for a dropdown menu.

```tsx title="src/components/examples/avatar/avatar-dropdown.tsx"
"use client"

import { Avatar, AvatarFallback, AvatarImage } from "@/components/ui/avatar"
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import {
  DropdownMenu,
  DropdownMenuContent,
  DropdownMenuGroup,
  DropdownMenuItem,
  DropdownMenuSeparator,
  DropdownMenuTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/dropdown-menu"

export function AvatarDropdown() {
  return (
    <DropdownMenu>
      <DropdownMenuTrigger
        render={<Button variant="ghost" size="icon" className="rounded-full" />}
      >
        <Avatar>
          <AvatarImage src="https://github.com/shadcn.png" alt="shadcn" />
          <AvatarFallback>CN</AvatarFallback>
        </Avatar>
      </DropdownMenuTrigger>
      <DropdownMenuContent className="w-32">
        <DropdownMenuGroup>
          <DropdownMenuItem>Profile</DropdownMenuItem>
          <DropdownMenuItem>Billing</DropdownMenuItem>
          <DropdownMenuItem>Settings</DropdownMenuItem>
        </DropdownMenuGroup>
        <DropdownMenuSeparator />
        <DropdownMenuGroup>
          <DropdownMenuItem variant="destructive">Log out</DropdownMenuItem>
        </DropdownMenuGroup>
      </DropdownMenuContent>
    </DropdownMenu>
  )
}
```
