ngx-gravatar

The gravatar directive for Angular applications.

This directive supports two avatar sources:

  • Custom image
  • Gravatar

By default, the custom image has a higher priority. If it is invalid, the Gravatar will be used. The priority can be changed by setting preferGravatar input or override the default configuration (see below).

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

import { GravatarModule } from 'ngx-gravatar';

@NgModule({
