## Note This component is no longer developed further. In newer Vaadin framework versions there are improved Avatar and AvatarGroup components built in. These newer components also integrate with new Collaborative Engine product unlike this add-on. See more https://vaadin.com/docs/v14/ce/components/collaboration-avatar-group#ce.configuring-avatars ## Usage Avatar is a visual identifier that represents a user by showing an image or a name abbreviation (in case an image is not set). A tooltip (enabled by default) can be enabled or disabled to display the name of the avatar when hovering on top of it. The abbreviation is generated from the Avatar's name initials. E.g. "John Smith" becomes "JS". ### Client-side implementation This is the server-side (Java) API for Vaadin Platform for the Avatar component. Looking for the client-side version?
