# Install and place "avatar-029" (Fallback On Error) from VibeUI

## 1. Install first — do not skip, do not recreate
Run this exact command before writing any code:
npx shadcn@latest add https://vibeui.ru/r/avatar-029.json

Registry item: https://vibeui.ru/r/avatar-029.json
Installs to: components/vibeui/avatar-029.tsx (the exact path follows this project's components.json aliases).
npm dependencies: none.
Registry dependencies: none.

Install it from the registry. Do not recreate it from the description,
do not substitute a similar component from another library, and do not
rewrite it to match the project's existing style.

## 2. What it is
An avatar that falls back to initials on a real load error: the photo keeps an honest alt, and no broken-image icon takes its place.

An avatar swapping the photo for initials on a load error: a real alt on the image and role="img" with the name after the failure. Zero dependencies, one file.

## 3. How to use it
import { Avatar029 } from "@/components/vibeui/avatar-029"

Read the installed file for the full prop list.

## 4. Where to place it
This is a small inline component. Put it exactly where the user asked,
inside the existing markup. Do not create a new page, section or
wrapper for it. If a similar control already sits in that spot,
replace it instead of adding a second one.

Placement: ___
(The user fills this line in. If it is still blank, ask where to put it
instead of guessing.)

## 5. Keep exactly as installed
- the local --vibeui-avatar-029-* palette — do not swap it for your theme tokens
- the onError handler instead of a backdrop of initials: only it lets the photo keep an honest alt
- role="img" with aria-label after the failure — otherwise two letters read as loose characters
- treating an empty src as the same case: two paths to one result are not needed
- object-fit: cover — a portrait would otherwise stretch inside the circle
- the plain <img> instead of next/image: the component has to work in any React project

## 6. You may change
- name — the person's name; the initials and the colour come from it
- the photo URL through src
- the size through size — sm, md or lg
- the backdrop hue if you have your own palette

## 7. Rules
- The component is client-side precisely because of onError: if client code is unacceptable here, use the backdrop-initials variant.
- It never retries: when src changes, reset the state with a key on the component.
- Initials come from the first two words: a single-word name yields one letter, which is fine.
- Do not lift the CSS variables into globals.css: the component has to stay a single file.

## 8. Verify
- it renders with no console errors;
- it looks like the preview on the VibeUI page you copied this from;
- if it does not, you changed something listed in section 5 — put it back.

For developers

npx shadcn@latest add https://vibeui.ru/r/avatar-029.json

https://vibeui.ru/r/avatar-029.json

Компонент самодостаточен: один файл, без зависимостей, собственная палитра в локальных переменных --vibeui-avatar-029-*. Клиентский: "use client" и useState держат факт сбоя. Соседний вариант кладёт инициалы подложкой и обходится без JS, но платит за это пустым alt — фотография там обязана молчать. Здесь ошибка ловится onError, поэтому у картинки остаётся alt с именем, а после сбоя корень сам получает role="img" с aria-label. Пустой src считается тем же случаем: проверять «есть ли фото» дважды незачем.

Component source

The same file your agent installs. Here in case you would rather copy it by hand.

"use client"

import { useState } from "react"
import type { ComponentPropsWithoutRef, CSSProperties } from "react"

export type Avatar029Props = Omit<
  ComponentPropsWithoutRef<"span">,
  "children"
> & {
  name?: string
  src?: string
  size?: "sm" | "md" | "lg"
}

// Идея компонента: подмена фотографии инициалами по настоящей ошибке загрузки.
// Соседний вариант кладёт инициалы подложкой и обходится без JS, но платит за
// это пустым alt: фотография там обязана молчать. Здесь ошибка ловится onError,
// поэтому у картинки остаётся честный alt с именем, а после сбоя вместо неё
// появляются инициалы — не значок сломанного изображения и не дырка в строке.
// Пустой src считается тем же случаем: проверять «есть ли фото» дважды незачем.
