Problem/Motivation

Maybe it's not the best place to post this, but I want to mention a use case for howto create a component not included in radix. So is more a documentation issue...

In your subtheme generate the component with drupal-radix-cli. In this case avatar component, it will create the avatar directory in components/, here are the contents:
avatar.component.yml , is where the properties and slots are defined, later in avatar.twig template, these properties will be used as twig variables, and slots as twig blocks.

$schema: https://git.drupalcode.org/project/drupal/-/raw/10.1.x/core/modules/sdc/src/metadata.schema.json
name: avatar
status: experimental
description: 'The avatar component auto-generated by drupal-radix-cli'
slots:
  image:
    title: Image
props:
  type: object
  properties:
    size:
      title: Size
      description: "It is possible to set the size of avatars."
      enum:
        - avatar-xs
        - avatar-sm
        - avatar-lg
        - avatar-xl
        - avatar-xxl
    square:
      title: Square
      description: "Disables rounding of the avatar, rending the avatar with square corners."
      type: "boolean"
    image_element:
      title: "Image element"
      description: "The html image element"
      type: "string"
    profile:
      title: "profile"
      description: "The profile object to feed avatar"
      type: object
    text_color:
      title: "Text color"
      description: "The color that will be used for text"
      type: string
    variant:
      title: "variant"
      description: "Use the variant prop to specify one of Bootstrap theme variant colors. The default variant is secondary."
      enum:
        - secondary
        - primary
        - dark
        - light
        - success
        - danger
        - warning
        - info
    text:
      title: text
      description: "Text that will be in avatar if not using image."
      type: "string"
    avatar_url:
      title: "Avatar url"
      description: "The url to point"
      type: string
stories:
  preview:
    title: Preview
    props:
      size: w-24
      square: false
      image_element: "<img src='https://placekitten.com/300/300' />"

avatar.twig , take care with scope, as properties are inherited, so using for example 'attributes' here will be risky if the parent template uses 'attributes' variable name too.

{#
/**
* @file
* Template for avatar component.
*/
#}
{% set avatar_attributes = create_attribute() %}
{% set avatar_attributes = avatar_attributes.addClass(['avatar', 'not-prose']) %}
{% set link_attributes = create_attribute() %}

{% if size %}
    {% set avatar_attributes = avatar_attributes.addClass(size) %}
{% endif %}

{% if square %}
    {% set avatar_attributes = avatar_attributes.addClass(square) %}
{% endif %}

{% if image_element %}
  {% set image_element_local = image_element %}
{% endif %}

{% if profile %}
  {% if profile.user_picture %}
    {% set image_element_local = profile.user_picture %}
  {% endif %}
  {% set entity = profile.entity %}
  {% set text_local = profile.entity.label|first|upper %}
  {% set link_attributes = link_attributes.setAttribute('href', path('entity.user.canonical', {'user':  profile.entity.id })).setAttribute('title', profile.entity.label) %}
{% endif %}

{% if variant %}
  {% set variant_local = variant %}
{% else %}
  {% set variant_local = "secondary" %}
{% endif %}
{% set avatar_attributes = avatar_attributes.addClass('bg-' ~ variant_local ) %}

{% if text_color %}
  {% set avatar_attributes = avatar_attributes.addClass( text_color ) %}
  {% set link_attributes = link_attributes.addClass( text_color ) %}
{% endif %}

{% if text %}
  {% set text_local = text %}
{% endif %}

{% if avatar_url %}
  {%  set link_attributes = link_attributes.setAttribute('href', avatar_url)  %}
{% endif %}


<a {{ link_attributes }}>
  <div {{ avatar_attributes }}>
      {% if image_element_local %}
      <div class="avatar-img">
    {% block image %}
        {{ image_element_local }}
    {% endblock %}
    </div>
      {% else %}
        {% if text_local %}
          {{ text_local }}
        {% else %}
          <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="16" height="16" fill="currentColor" class="bi bi-person-fill" viewBox="0 0 16 16">

          </svg>
        {% endif %}
      {% endif %}
  </div>
</a>

Previous to talk about avatar.scss , we want to declare the enumeration of sizes, this is done in subtheme src/scss/_variables.scss :

$avatar-width: 32px !default;
$avatar-values: (            
  xs: 16px,                  
  sm: 24px,                  
  lg: 40px,                  
  xl: 96px,                  
  xxl: 128px,                
) !default;                  

finally the avatar.scss , the last rule will declare the sizes rules to generate the avatar sizes.

@import "../../src/scss/init";

// Avatar custom styles

.avatar {
  display: inline-flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  vertical-align: middle;
  flex-shrink: 0;
  width: var(--#{$prefix}avatar-width);
  height: var(--#{$prefix}avatar-width);
  font-size: inherit;
  font-weight: 400;
  line-height: 1;
  max-width: 100%;
  max-height: auto;
  text-align: center;
  overflow: hidden;
  position: relative;
  border-radius: 50%;
  margin-bottom: 0 !important;

  &.avatar-sm {
    width: 2.5rem;
    height: 2.5rem;
    border-radius: 2.5rem;
  }

  &.avatar-lg {
    width: 3.5rem;
    height: 3.5rem;
    border-radius: 3.5rem;
  }


  &.square {
    border-radius: 0;
  }

  &:focus {
    outline: 0;
  }

  &.btn,
  &[href] {
    padding: 0;
    border: 0;

    .avatar-img img {
      transition: transform 0.15s ease-in-out;
    }

    &:not(:disabled):not(.disabled) {
      cursor: pointer;

      &:hover {
        .avatar-img img {
          transform: scale(1.15);
        }
      }
    }
  }

  &.disabled,
  &:disabled,
  &[disabled] {
    opacity: $btn-disabled-opacity;
    pointer-events: none;
  }

  .avatar-custom,
  .avatar-text,
  .avatar-img {
    border-radius: inherit;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    overflow: hidden;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    // https://gist.github.com/ayamflow/b602ab436ac9f05660d9c15190f4fd7b
    mask-image: radial-gradient(white, black);
  }

  .avatar-text {
    text-transform: uppercase;
    white-space: nowrap;
  }

  &[href] {
    text-decoration: none;
  }

  > .icon {
    width: 60%;
    height: auto;
    max-width: 100%;
  }

  .avatar-img .field--name-user-picture {
    margin: 0;
    img {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    max-height: auto;
    border-radius: inherit;
    // This is not supported in IE11 and Edge <16
    // https://caniuse.com/object-fit
    object-fit: cover;
  }
  }
}

.avatar-group {
  display: flex;
  .avatar {
    margin-right: calc(-.4 * 2.5rem);
  }
  .avatar:hover {
    margin-right: 0px;
  }

  .avatar:last-child {
    margin-right: 0;
  }
}

@each $name, $width in $avatar-values {
  .avatar-#{$name} {
    --#{$prefix}avatar-width: #{$width};
  }
}

In this component js is not used.

With this component it could be used with in any template:

{% embed 'radix_yoursubtheme:avatar' with { 'size': 'avatar-sm', 'profile': avatar,  'image_element': avatar.user_picture, 'variant': 'warning' , 'text_color': 'text-white' } %}
{% endembed %}

In this example an array of

  $vars['avatar'] = [ 'user_picture': 'rendered user entity using compact view mode', 'entity' : UserEntity ]

could be used to feed the component.
