Features

Boring avatars can generate unique avatars based on the username and color palette.

This project is a Flutter implementation of Boring Avatars.

It differs from the original project in its implementation, using Canvas for rendering and adding transition animations.

Check out the Web Demo to experience the effect.

Installation

Add the dependency in your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  flutter_boring_avatars: any # or the latest version on Pub

Usage

Get a simple avatar

BoringAvatar(name: "Maria Mitchell", type: BoringAvatarType.marble);

Get an animated avatar that has a nice transition animation when the name changes

AnimatedBoringAvatar(
  name: "Maria Mitchell",
  type: BoringAvatarType.marble,
  duration: const Duration(milliseconds: 300),
)

Get an avatar with a custom color palette

final colorPalette = BoringAvatarPalette(Color(0xffA3A948), Color(0xffEDB92E), Color(0xffF85931), Color(0xffCE1836), Color(0xff009989));

BoringAvatar(name: "Maria Mitchell", palette: colorPalette);

Set default type and palette, applicable only for BoringAvatar and AnimatedBoringAvatar

build(context) {
  return DefaultBoringAvatarStyle(
    type: BoringAvatarType.marble, 
    palette: colorPalette,
    child: Column(
      children: [
        BoringAvatar(name: "Maria Mitchell"),
        BoringAvatar(name: "Alexis Brooks"),
        BoringAvatar(name: "Justin Gray"),
      ]
    ),
  );
}

Use ShapeBorder to control the avatar shape and add a border

BoringAvatar(
  name: "Maria Mitchell",
  type: BoringAvatarType.marble,
  shape: OvalBorder(), // or RoundedRectangleBorder(borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(16))
);

Use the avatar for Decoration, it also supports transition animations when used in AnimatedContainer

Container(
  decoration: BoringAvatarDecoration(
    avatarData: BoringAvatarData.generate(name: name),
  ),
);

Export the avatar as an image

final avatarData = BoringAvatarData.generate(name: name);
final image = await avatarData.toImage(size: const Size.square(256));
final pngByteData = await image.toByteData(format: ImageByteFormat.png);
