vue-avatar

An avatar component for vue.js.

This component display an avatar image and if none is provided fallback to the user initials. This component is highly inspired from react-user-avatar.

Rules used to compute user initials:

divide the username on space and hyphen
use the first letter of each parts
never use more than three letters as initials
if the username is divided in more than three parts and has part starting with an uppercase, skip parts starting with a lowercase.

You can find a few examples and the documentation here
