<!-- Start script-generated Magma Docs -->

# Install

Install the component via `npm` by running the following command

```bash
npm install @maggioli-design-system/mds-avatar
```

This package works also with yarn:

```bash
yarn add @maggioli-design-system/mds-avatar
```

### Import

Import the component in your project via `TypeScript` as follows:

```typescript
import { defineCustomElements as dceMdsAvatar } from '@maggioli-design-system/mds-avatar/loader'

dceMdsAvatar()
```

If you need to support older browsers (i.e. IE or early version of Edge), you can wrap the `defineCustomElements` in another utility awailable in the same package:

```typescript
import { applyPolyfills as apMdsAvatar, defineCustomElements as dceMdsAvatar } from '@maggioli-design-system/mds-avatar/loader'

apMdsAvatar().then(dceMdsAvatar())
```

Use alias for `defineCustomElements` method to initialize multiple web components in the same place:

```typescript
import { defineCustomElements as dceMdsComponentOne } from '@maggioli-design-system/mds-component-one/loader'
import { defineCustomElements as dceMdsComponentTwo } from '@maggioli-design-system/mds-component-two/loader'

dceMdsComponentOne()
dceMdsComponentTwo()
```

You can check how browser support works at [this page][stencil-browser-support].

# Integration

<!-- This section is useful to describe usages and configurations -->

#### How to use it in HTML

<!-- Add information about HTML usage here -->

`MdsAvatar` accepts a path to an image to be displayed via the `src` attribute, or if missing accepts the initials to be displayed via the `initials` attribute. Beware that the text passed via `initials` attribute will be trimmed and truncated up to the second character, so if `cya` is the value passed to the attribute, the final result displayed will be `CY` (the text will be transformed to uppercase via a css class).

An example follows:

```html
<mds-avatar src="https://placehold.co/80" initials="ap"></mds-avatar>
```

You can try it out on the component's [Storybook website][storybook]!
