The Avatar class allows you to display an avatar image next to a message instead of the author name.

You need to send the element once. Next if the name of an avatar matches the name of an author, the avatar will be automatically displayed.

You must provide either an url or a path or content bytes.

​
Attributes

url

The remote URL of the avatar image source.

path

The local file path of the avatar image.

content

Example

import chainlit as cl


@cl.on_chat_start
async def start():
    await cl.Avatar(
        name="Tool 1",
        url="https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/128686189?s=400&u=a1d1553023f8ea0921fba0debbe92a8c5f840dd9&v=4",
    ).send()

    await cl.Message(
        content="This message should not have an avatar!", author="Tool 0"
    ).send()

    await cl.Message(
        content="This message should have an avatar!", author="Tool 1"
    ).send()

    await cl.Message(

    ).send()
