API Reference

Root

Contains all the parts of an avatar.

Prop	Type	Default
`as`	`enum`	`span`

Image

The image to render. By default it will only render when it has loaded. You can use the onLoadingStatusChange handler if you need more control.

Prop	Type	Default
`as`	`enum`	`img`
`onLoadingStatusChange`	`function`	No default value

An element that renders when the image hasn't loaded. This means whilst it's loading, or if there was an error. If you notice a flash during loading, you can provide a delayMs prop to delay its rendering so it only renders for those with slower connections. For more control, use the onLoadingStatusChange handler on Avatar.Image.

Prop	Type	Default
`as`	`enum`	`span`
`delayMs`	`number`	No default value

Examples

You can compose the Avatar with a Tooltip to display extra information.

import * as Avatar from '@radix-ui/react-avatar';
import * as Tooltip from '@radix-ui/react-tooltip';

export default () => (
  <Tooltip.Root>
    <Tooltip.Trigger>
      <Avatar.Root>…</Avatar.Root>
    </Tooltip.Trigger>

    <Tooltip.Content side="top">
      Tooltip content
      <Tooltip.Arrow />
    </Tooltip.Content>
  </Tooltip.Root>
);
