PropTypeDefaultDescription
playersFriendListPlayer[]—Required player entries. Each entry has a required numeric id, name, and status ("online", "ingame", "away", or "offline"); optional avatar and avatarFallback strings; and an optional activity string.
showstatusbooleantrueShows or hides the uppercase status text. The status indicator dot remains visible either way.
showactivitybooleantrueAllows activity text to render when a player's activity is provided.
classNamestring—Additional class names applied to the outer div.
...propsReact.ComponentPropsWithoutRef<"div">—Other standard div props, such as id, style, and aria attributes, are forwarded to the outer div.
Accessibility
- Avatar images receive the player's name as alt text; when no image is available, the fallback shows avatarFallback or the first letter of the name.
- Each status dot has an aria-label in the form "Status: online". The showstatus prop controls the visible status text, not the dot's label.
- The scroll area provides a focus-visible outline on its viewport; ensure the list can be reached and operated by keyboard in its surrounding layout.
- Player rows are rendered as divs rather than semantic list items, so provide any additional list context your page requires.
