<Avatar>Build Status

Universal avatar makes it possible to fetch/generate an avatar based on the information you have about that user. We use a fallback system that if for example an invalid Facebook ID is used it will try Google, and so on.

React Avatar component preview

For the moment we support following types:

  • Facebook
  • Google
  • Twitter
  • Vkontakte
  • Skype
  • Gravatar
  • Custom image
  • Name initials

The fallbacks are in the same order as the list above were Facebook has the highest priority.
