A Vident component example (without Stimulus)

First is an example component that uses Vident::ViewComponent::Base but no Stimulus features.

It is an avatar component that can either be displayed as an image or as initials. It supports numerous sizes and shapes and can optionally have a border. It also generates a cache key for use in fragment caching or etag generation.

class AvatarComponent < ::Vident::ViewComponent::Base
  include ::Vident::Tailwind
  include ::Vident::Caching

  no_stimulus_controller
  with_cache_key :attributes

  attribute :url, allow_nil: true
  attribute :initials, allow_nil: false

  attribute :shape, default: :circle

  attribute :border, default: false

  attribute :size, default: :normal

  private

  def default_html_options
    if image_avatar?
      { class: "inline-block object-contain", src: url, alt: t(".image") }
    else
      { class: "inline-flex items-center justify-center bg-gray-500" }
    end
  end

  def element_classes
    [size_classes, shape_class, border? ? "border" : ""]
  end

  alias_method :image_avatar?, :url?

  def shape_class
    (shape == :circle) ? "rounded-full" : "rounded-md"
  end

  def size_classes
    case size
    when :tiny
      "w-6 h-6"
    when :small
      "w-8 h-8"
    when :medium
      "w-12 h-12"
    when :large
      "w-14 h-14"
    when :x_large
      "sm:w-24 sm:h-24 w-16 h-16"
    when :xx_large
      "sm:w-32 sm:h-32 w-24 h-24"
    else
      "w-10 h-10"
    end
  end

  def text_size_class
    case size
    when :tiny
      "text-xs"
    when :small
      "text-xs"
    when :medium
      "text-lg"
    when :large
      "sm:text-xl text-lg"
    when :extra_large
      "sm:text-2xl text-xl"
    else
      "text-medium"
    end
  end
end

<%= render root(
             element_tag: image_avatar? ? :img : :div,
             html_options: default_html_options
           ) do %>
  <% unless image_avatar? %>
    <span class="<%= text_size_class %> font-medium leading-none text-white"><%= initials %></span>
  <% end %>
<% end %>

Example usages:

<%= render AvatarComponent.new(url: "https://someurl.com/avatar.jpg", initials: "AB" size: :large) %>
<%= render AvatarComponent.new(url: "https://someurl.com/avatar.jpg", html_options: {alt: "My alt text", class: "object-scale-down"}) %>
<%= render AvatarComponent.new(initials: "SG", size: :small) %>
<%= render AvatarComponent.new(initials: "SG", size: :large, html_options: {class: "border-2 border-red-600"}) %>

The following is rendered when used render AvatarComponent.new(initials: "SG", size: :small, border: true):

<div class="avatar-component w-8 h-8 rounded-full border inline-flex items-center justify-center bg-gray-500" id="avatar-component-9790427-12">
  <span class="text-xs font-medium leading-none text-white">SG</span>
</div>

The following is rendered when used render AvatarComponent.new(url: "https://i.pravatar.cc/300", initials: "AB", html_options: {alt: "My alt text", class: "block"}):

<img src="https://i.pravatar.cc/300" alt="My alt text" class="avatar-component w-10 h-10 rounded-full object-contain block" id="avatar-component-7083941-11">
