Ada Lovelace
Examples
Sizes
The root exposes its size through data-size.
Ada Lovelace
import { Avatar } from "@gunkin/uiify";
export default function Example() {
return (
<>
<Avatar aria-hidden="true" name="Ada Lovelace" fallback="AL" size="sm" />
<Avatar aria-hidden="true" name="Ada Lovelace" fallback="AL" size="md" />
<Avatar aria-hidden="true" name="Ada Lovelace" fallback="AL" size="lg" />
<span>Ada Lovelace</span>
</>
);

Accessibility
The root is named as an image and the fallback is hidden from assistive technology. Keep a visible name beside decorative avatars and set aria-hidden when that text already names the person. A supplied src renders an image; image-load failures do not trigger a replacement fallback.
