The avatar component can be used as a visual identifier for a user profile on your website and you can use the examples from Flowbite to modify the styles and sizes of these components using the utility classes from Tailwind CSS.

<Htwo label="Setup" />

Import `Avatar`.
If you are using the user dropdown, import `Dropdown`, `DropdownHeader`, `DropdownItem`, `DropdownDivider`.
If you are using tooltip for avatar import `Tooltip`.

```svelte
<script>
  import { Avatar, Dropdown, DropdownHeader, DropdownItem, DropdownDivider, Tooltip } from "flowbite-svelte"
</script>
```

<Htwo label="Default avatar" />

Use this example to create a circle and rounded avatar on an image element.

```svelte example class="flex flex-col gap-4" hideScript
<script>
  import {Avatar} from 'flowbite-svelte'
</script>
<div class="flex space-x-4">
  <Avatar src="/images/profile-picture-2.webp"/>
  <Avatar src="/images/profile-picture-2.webp" rounded/>
</div>
```

<Htwo label="Bordered" />

You can apply a border around the avatar component.

If you can use the `ring-&#123;color&#125;` class from Tailwind CSS to modify ring color.

```svelte example class="flex gap-4" hideScript
<script>
  import {Avatar} from 'flowbite-svelte'
</script>
<Avatar src="/images/profile-picture-2.webp" border/>
<Avatar src="/images/profile-picture-2.webp" border class="ring-red-400 dark:ring-red-300"/>
```

<Htwo label="Placeholder" />

When there is no custom image available a placehoder is displayed.

```svelte example class="flex gap-4" hideScript
<script>
  import {Avatar} from 'flowbite-svelte'
</script>
<Avatar />
<Avatar rounded />
<Avatar border />
<Avatar rounded border />
```

<Htwo label="Placeholder initials" />

This example can be used to show the initials of the user’s first and last name as a placeholder when no profile picture is available.

```svelte example class="flex flex-col gap-4" hideScript
<script>
  import {Avatar} from 'flowbite-svelte'
</script>
  <Avatar>JL</Avatar>
```

<Htwo label="Avatar tooltip" />

Use this example to show a tooltip when hovering over the avatar.

```svelte example class="flex gap-4"
<script>
  import {Avatar, Tooltip} from 'flowbite-svelte'
</script>
  <Avatar data-name="Jese Leos" rounded src="/images/profile-picture-1.webp"/>
  <Avatar data-name="Robert Gouth" rounded src="/images/profile-picture-2.webp"/>
  <Avatar data-name="Bonnie Green" rounded src="/images/profile-picture-3.webp"/>
  <Tooltip triggeredBy="[data-name]" on:show={e => name = e.target.dataset.name}>{name}</Tooltip>
```

<Htwo label="Dot indicator" />

Use a dot element relative to the avatar component as an indicator for the user (eg. online or offline status).

```svelte example class="flex gap-4" hideScript
<script>
  import {Avatar} from 'flowbite-svelte'
</script>
<Avatar src="/images/profile-picture-3.webp" dot={{top:true, color:"bg-red-400"}}/>
<Avatar src="/images/profile-picture-3.webp" dot={{top:true, color:"bg-red-400"}} rounded />
<Avatar src="/images/profile-picture-3.webp" dot={{color:"bg-green-400"}}/>
<Avatar src="/images/profile-picture-3.webp" dot={{color:"bg-green-400"}} rounded/>
```

<Htwo label="Stacked" />

Use this example if you want to stack a group of users by overlapping the avatar components.

```svelte example class="flex flex-col gap-4" hideScript
<script>
  import {Avatar} from 'flowbite-svelte'
</script>
<div class="flex mb-5">
<Avatar src="/images/profile-picture-1.webp" stacked/>
<Avatar src="/images/profile-picture-2.webp" stacked />
<Avatar src="/images/profile-picture-3.webp" stacked />
<Avatar stacked />
</div>
<div class="flex">
<Avatar src="/images/profile-picture-1.webp" stacked />
<Avatar src="/images/profile-picture-2.webp" stacked />
<Avatar src="/images/profile-picture-3.webp" stacked />
<Avatar stacked href="/" class="bg-gray-700 text-white hover:bg-gray-600">+99</Avatar>
</div>
```

<Htwo label="Avatar text" />

<script>
  import {Avatar} from 'flowbite-svelte'
</script>
