CSS variables

Vue avatars use local CSS variables on .avatar for enhanced real-time customization. Values for the CSS variables are set via Sass, so Sass customization is still supported, too.

scss

--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 vars = {
  '--my-css-var': 10,
  '--my-another-css-var': 'red',
}
return <CAvatar style={vars}>...</CAvatar>
