# Avatar 😁

* [ ] Visualizer

  Show what the avatar looks like before posting or updating
* [ ] Link to upload or select avatar

  Accessible link for a user to select
* [ ] Placeholder image

  If a user hasn't uploaded or added an avatar yet there should be a placeholder e.g. a default icon, or the user's initials
* [ ] Acceptable file types

  Tell the user what file types are allowed (JPEG, PNG, SVG)
* [ ] Status change updating avatar

  This doesn't have to be apart of the avatar component (it can be a banner or toast for example), but it is possible to incorporate it
* [ ] Alternatives

  If a user doesn't want to upload an image, offer an illustrative alternative, as it's better than nothing and can still convey their personality
* [ ] Editing uploaded avatar

  Allow a user to crop and resize their avatar before saving it

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.klai.studio/engineering-reference-docs/software-testing-overview/ux-ui-checklist/elements/avatar.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
