React Native User Avatar

A bare-bones user avatar display with support for falling back to using the user's initials on a colored background as the avatar. Based on the great library for React: https://github.com/wbinnssmith/react-user-avatar, and ported to React Native.

Installation

npm install --save react-native-user-avatar or yarn add react-native-user-avatar

Usage

The fallback avatar's color may be set by passing in the bgColor prop, or you can customize the range of colors used by passing in an array of bgColors. The component uses a simple calculation to consistently use the same color for the same user's name every time.

UserAvatar Component

import UserAvatar from 'react-native-user-avatar';

const App: () => React$Node = () => {
