PropTypeDefaultDescription
avatarUrlsAvatar[]—Required array of avatar objects. Each object must contain an imageUrl string for the image source and a profileUrl string for the linked profile destination.
numPeoplenumber | undefined—Optional number rendered as a +count circular badge. The badge is rendered only when the value is greater than 0; omitted and nullish values behave as 0.
classNamestring | undefined—Optional additional class names merged onto the root container with cn().
Accessibility
- Each avatar image receives an alt value in the form “Avatar 1”, “Avatar 2”, and so on.
- Each avatar is wrapped in a link that opens its profile URL in a new tab with rel="noopener noreferrer".
- The count badge is also an anchor, but its source uses an empty href and does not provide an explicit aria-label.
- Provide meaningful image URLs and ensure the surrounding page context makes the generic generated avatar labels understandable.
