title: Current User Avatar
description: Supabase Auth-aware avatar
---
<ComponentPreview name="current-user-avatar-demo" showCode={false} />
## Installation
<BlockItem name="current-user-avatar-vue" description="Renders the avatar of the current user." />
## Folder structure
This block assumes that you have already installed a Supabase client for Vue from the previous step.
<RegistryBlock itemName="current-user-avatar-vue" />
## 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.
```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
// Assumes you have Header component created
import CurrentUserAvatar from '@/components/CurrentUserAvatar.vue'
import Header from '@/components/Header.vue'
</script>
<template>
<Header class="flex items-center justify-between">
<h1>Lumon Industries</h1>
<CurrentUserAvatar />
</Header>
</template>
```
## 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.
