Are you enjoying the enhanced features of Filament V3, especially the avatar display on the admin panel? It's a fantastic addition that can further elevate your user experience. But what if you want to extend this functionality to your frontend? That's where this tip comes in handy.

The Filament Avatar Advantage

Filament V3 introduces the ability to display avatars in the admin panel, allowing for more personalized and visually appealing user profiles. However, you might want to leverage these avatars in your frontend applications as well, creating a consistent and polished look across your entire platform.

Seamless Integration

The good news is that integrating Filament avatars into your frontend is a straightforward process. Here's a quick example of how to do it:

1// Your code here to fetch the user's avatar URL from Filament
2$avatarUrl = $user->getAvatarUrl();
3 
4// In your HTML or template, simply use the $avatarUrl
5<img src="{{ $avatarUrl }}" alt="User Avatar" />

In you User model

 1class User extends Model
 2{
 3    // ....
 4 
 5    public function getAvatarUrl()
 6    {
 7        return filament()->getUserAvatarUrl($this);
 8    }
 9    // ...
10}

By fetching the user's avatar URL using the getAvatarUrl() method (replace $user with your user object), you can effortlessly display Filament avatars on your frontend.

Integrating Filament avatars into your frontend brings several benefits:

• Consistency: Users will enjoy a consistent experience, as avatars remain the same across the admin panel and frontend.
