CSS variables#

React Avatar supports CSS variables for easy customization. These variables are set via SASS but allow direct overrides in your stylesheets or inline styles.

--cui-avatar-width: #{$avatar-width};
--cui-avatar-height: #{$avatar-height};
--cui-avatar-font-size: #{$avatar-font-size};
--cui-avatar-border-radius: #{$avatar-border-radius};
--cui-avatar-status-width: #{$avatar-status-width};
--cui-avatar-status-height: #{$avatar-status-height};
--cui-avatar-status-border-radius: #{$avatar-status-border-radius};

How to use CSS variables#

const customVars = {
  '--cui-avatar-font-size': '1rem',
  '--cui-avatar-status-width': '0.125rem',
}

return <CAvatar style={customVars} />
