Introduction

The CurrentUserAvatar component connects to Supabase Auth to fetch the user data and show an avatar. It uses the user_metadata property which gets populated automatically by Supabase Auth if the user logged in via a provider. If the user doesn't have a profile image, it renders their initials. If the user is logged out, it renders a ? as a fallback, which you can change.

Usage

The CurrentUserAvatar component is designed to be used anywhere in your app. Add the <CurrentUserAvatar /> component to your page and it will render the avatar of the current user, with a fallback.

'use client'

import { CurrentUserAvatar } from '@/components/current-user-avatar'

const CurrentUserAvatarDemo = () => {
  return (
    <Header className="flex items-center justify-between">
      <h1>Lumon Industries</h1>
      <CurrentUserAvatar />
    </Header>
  )
}

export default CurrentUserAvatarDemo

Props

This component doesn't accept any props. If you wish to change the fallback, you can do so by changing the CurrentUserAvatar component directly.
