3. Add the AvatarMakerAvatar widget to display your avatar where needed.

That's all it takes, simple right ? The two widgets communicate with each other and update in real-time throughout your widget tree.

Usage Guidelines

The package offers a ton of features in the simplest way possible, however there are some points worth noting.

• AvatarMakerAvatar only renders the local user's avatar. To display the avatar of other users', you'll have to use the SvgPicture.string() method from flutter_svg .
• AvatarMakerAvatar would render a default avatar until customized and saved by the local user for the first time.
• Use the canvaskit renderer when building for web, the default html renderer will not work with SVGs.
• The avatar maker's attributes are saved to local app/browser storage. Clearing app/browser data would mean clearing these attributes as well.
• You can create a AvatarMakerThemeData instance to configure the look and feel of the widgets to your liking.
