Angular PrimeNG Properties for AvatarGroup

Angular PrimeNG is an open-source framework with a rich set of native Angular UI components that are used for great styling and this framework is used to make responsive websites with very much ease. Avatars are used to denote letters, icons, and images in different shapes and background colors. This article will show us how to use the different properties of AvatarGroup in Angular PrimeNG. 

The AvatarGroup Component is used to group avatars together. It creates a container for the avatars with the display property set to flex and items aligned to the center.

Syntax:

<p-avatarGroup  [styleClass]="'test'">
    <p-avatar 
          ...
    </p-avatar>
    ...
</p-avatarGroup>

Properties for AvatarGroup:

• style: Here, in this case also, is used to set the inline style of the component. It is of object data type, the default value is null.
• styleClass: Here, in this case also, is used to define the style class of the component. It is of string data type, the default value is null.

Approach: Let us create an Angular project and install the PrimeNG UI module. Then we will create a UI that will showcase Angular PrimeNG AvatarGroup Properties.

Creating React Project:

Step 1: To create an angular app, you need to install the angular command line interface through the npm command.

npm install -g angular-cli

Step 2: Now we will create an angular project.

ng new project_name

Step 3: After creating your react project, move into the folder to perform different operations.

cd project_name

Step 4: After creating the Angular application, Install the required module using the following command:

npm install primeng --save
npm install primeicons --save

Project Structure: After running the commands mentioned in the above steps, if you open the project in an editor you can see a similar project structure as shown below. The new component user makes or the code changes, we will be performing will be done in the source folder.    

Project Structure

Step to Run Application: Run the application using the following command from the root directory of the project:

ng serve --open

Example 1: Below is the example code where we are creating a UI that shows the Inline Styling Property of Avatar Group.
