Adjusting the avatar size in Material UI to match the parent element's dimensions by styling the child elements to fill the entire space

Query on Dimension

How does Material-UI determine the width and height of elements within the <Avatar/> component?

Specific Scenario

My specific issue revolves around the <AccountCircle/> icon, which you can find as an example here: account circle, not adequately occupying the space as its parent.

My aim is to have an avatar size of 80x80, but due to the numerous random classes with varying margins and paddings added by Material-UI, the result is not as expected. The generated code contains an <svg> with a <path> element that measures around 66.67px.

const avatarImageStyle = {
    width: 80,
    height: 80,
};

JSX

<AccountCircle style={Object.assign({}, avatarImageStyle, {color: 'grey' })} />

Answer №1

I encountered a similar problem while working on a current project. I managed to resolve it by adjusting the fontSize of Avatar and ensuring the icon utilized its parent's font size.

It is unnecessary to specify the width and height of the icon because Material-UI icons (and likely icons in general) are symmetrical in shape. However, we must indicate the dimensions of the Avatar to prevent it from remaining the same size as before as the icon within it enlarges (resulting in cropping). By increasing the size of the Avatar's contents using fontSize, setting the dimensions to auto will suffice.

Therefore, for the Avatar's style, utilize:

{
    fontSize: '80px',
    width: 'auto',
    height: 'auto',
    ...
}

and when adding your icon, use:

<AccountCircle style={Object.assign({color: 'grey' })} fontSize='inherit' />
