# Fallback Avatar

> Fallback avatar with gradient

A Avatar component for React, Tailwind and shadcn by @xxtomm, version 1.0.0, MIT licence.

Renders a gradient avatar based on a name string. It generates unique colors and visual patterns using hash calculations. The avatar is displayed as a canvas element. Use it when a user's profile picture is unavailable.

## Install

```bash
npx layro-cli add @xxtomm/fallback-avatar
```

Or with shadcn: `npx shadcn@latest add https://layro.dev/r/xxtomm/fallback-avatar.json`
