React Native User Avatar

Installation

npm install --save @bhavberi/react-native-user-avatar or yarn add @bhavberi/react-native-user-avatar

Usage

The fallback avatar's color may be set by passing in the bgColor prop, or you can customize the range of colors used by passing in an array of bgColors. The component uses a simple calculation to consistently use the same color for the same user's name every time.
