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.
