PropTypeDefaultDescription
playersLeaderboardPlayer[]—Required player entries. Each has required id, name, and score fields, plus optional rank, isCurrentPlayer, avatar, and avatarFallback fields. Entries are sorted by score descending and assigned ranks based on sorted position; supplied rank values are overwritten.
maxPlayersnumber10Maximum number of sorted players to display.
showRankbooleantrueEnables the rank badge only when showAvatar is false. With the default showAvatar=true, no rank badge is rendered.
showAvatarbooleantrueShows each player's pixel-style avatar when true. If avatar is absent, the fallback is avatarFallback or the first letter of the player's name.
classNamestring—Additional class name passed to the card. This is also part of the inherited div props.
titlestring"LEADERBOARD"Card heading. A falsy value hides the card header.
currentPlayerIdstring—Player id to mark as current. When provided, it determines each player's current-player status; otherwise the optional isCurrentPlayer field on each player is used.
...propsReact.ComponentProps<"div">—Other standard div props are forwarded to the Card, such as id, title, and data attributes.
Accessibility
- Avatar images use the player's name as their alt text; avatarFallback text is shown when no avatar image is provided.
- The leaderboard does not add list or table semantics, nor an accessible label for the card; provide an appropriate title and surrounding context when needed.
- When showAvatar is false and showRank is true, rank positions 1–3 are represented by medal emoji and later positions by numerals. With avatars enabled, those rank indicators are not rendered.
- The current player is marked by visible YOU text in addition to color styling, so the highlight is not conveyed by color alone.
