What is a Shadcn Avatar?
An avatar is a circular or rounded representation of a user. Shadcn Avatar composes native HTML img elements with Radix UI primitives for state and fallback logic.
Avatars can have fallback text, background colors, and border styles. Each avatar is a self-contained unit that helps identify users.
Why Use Shadcn Avatar?
