Usage

One of the main use-cases will probably be to display a list of people with specific avatars with them:

import React from "react";
import { render } from "react-dom";
import { Avatar } from "@react-md/avatar";
import { List, ListItem } from "@react-md/list";

const people = [
  { name: "Logan Tyler", avatarUrl: "https://some-picture.com" },
  { name: "Trenton Berry", avatarUrl: "https://some-picture.com" },
  { name: "Damon Fletcher", avatarUrl: "https://some-picture.com" },
  { name: "Thomas Owen", avatarUrl: "https://some-picture.com" },
  { name: "Charity Henderson", avatarUrl: "https://some-picture.com" },
];

const App = () => (
  <List>
    {people.map(({ name, avatarUrl }, i) => (
      <ListItem
        id={`person-${i}`}
        key={i}
        leftAddon={<Avatar src={avatarUrl} alt={`${name}'s avatar'`} />}
        leftAddonType="avatar"
      >
        {name}
      </ListItem>
    ))}
  </List>
);

render(<App />, document.getElementById("root"));
