react-avatar

<Avatar>

Universal avatar makes it possible to fetch/generate an avatar based on the information you have about that user. We use a fallback system that if for example an invalid Facebook ID is used it will try Google, and so on.

For the moment we support following types:

• Facebook
• Google
• Skype
• Gravatar
• Name initials
• Custom text
• Custom image

The fallbacks are in the same order as the list above were Facebook has the highest priority.
