This section briefly explains how to include the Blazor Avatar component in your Blazor Web App using Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, and the .NET CLI.

Create a new Blazor Web App

Create a Blazor Web App using Visual Studio via Microsoft Templates or the Blazor Extension.

Run the following command to create a new Blazor Web App.

dotnet new blazor -o BlazorWebApp --interactivity Auto
cd BlazorWebApp
cd BlazorWebApp.Client

Alternatively, create a Blazor Web App using Visual Studio Code via Microsoft Templates, the Blazor Extension, or the C# Dev Kit extension.

Run the following command to create a new Blazor Web App.

dotnet new blazor -o BlazorWebApp --interactivity Auto
cd BlazorWebApp
cd BlazorWebApp.Client

NOTE

Configure the appropriate Interactive render mode and Interactivity location while creating a Blazor Web App. For detailed information, refer to the interactive render mode documentation.

Install the required Blazor package

Install the Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes NuGet package. All Syncfusion Blazor packages are available on nuget.org. See the NuGet packages topic for details. If using the WebAssembly or Auto render modes in the Blazor Web App, install this package in the .Client project.

  1. Go to Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution.
  2. Search the required NuGet package (Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes) and install it.

Alternatively, you can install the same package using the Package Manager Console with the following commands.

Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes -Version 34.1.29

Open the terminal and run the following commands.

dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes -v 34.1.29

Open the command prompt and run the following commands.

dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes -v 34.1.29

Add stylesheet resource

The theme stylesheet can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Include the stylesheet in the ~/Components/App.razor file.

<link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes/fluent2.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Add Blazor Avatar component

Open a Razor file located in the ~/Pages/*.razor (for example, Home.razor) and add the Blazor Avatar component inside the .Client project razor file.

@* Large Avatar *@
<div class="e-avatar e-avatar-large image"></div>

@* xLarge Avatar *@

<style>
    .e-avatar {
        background-image: url(https://ej2.syncfusion.com/demos/src/avatar/images/pic01.png);
    }
</style>
