Avatar can be integrated into various components to make a wide variety of applications. Some of the integrations are shown in the following section.

Avatar is integrated into the listview to create contacts applications. The xsmall size avatar is used to match the size of the list item. Letters and images are also used as avatar content.

import { ListView } from '@syncfusion/ej2-lists';
// Listview datasource with avatar and image source fields
let dataSource: { [key: string]: Object; }[] = [
    { id: 's_01', text: 'Robert', avatar: '', pic: 'pic04' },
    { id: 's_02', text: 'Nancy', avatar: 'N', pic: '' },
    { id: 's_05', text: 'John', pic: 'pic01', avatar: '' },
    { id: 's_03', text: 'Andrew', avatar: 'A', pic: '' },
    { id: 's_06', text: 'Michael', pic: 'pic02', avatar: '' },
    { id: 's_07', text: 'Steven', pic: 'pic03', avatar: '' },
    { id: 's_08', text: 'Margaret', avatar: 'M', pic: '' }
];

let letterAvatarList: ListView = new ListView({
    // Bind listview datasource
    dataSource: dataSource,
    // Assign header title
    headerTitle: 'Contacts',
    // Enable header title
    showHeader: true,
    // Assign list-item template
    template: '<div class="listWrapper">' +
        '${if(avatar!=="")}' +
        '<span class="e-avatar e-avatar-small e-avatar-circle">${avatar}</span>' +
        '${else}' +
        '<span class="${pic} e-avatar e-avatar-small e-avatar-circle"> </span>' +
        '${/if}' +
        '<span class="text">' +
        '${text} </span> </div>',
    // Assign sorting order
    sortOrder: 'Ascending'
});
letterAvatarList.appendTo('#letterAvatarList');
