CircleAvatar class

A circle that represents a user.

Typically used with a user's profile image, or, in the absence of such an image, the user's initials. A given user's initials should always be paired with the same background color, for consistency.

If the avatar is to have an image, the image should be specified in the backgroundImage property: 
CircleAvatar(
  backgroundImage: NetworkImage(userAvatarUrl),
)

The image will be cropped to have a circle shape.

If the avatar is to just have the user's initials, they are typically provided using a Text widget as the child and a backgroundColor: 
CircleAvatar(
  backgroundColor: Colors.brown.shade800,
  child: Text('AH'),
)
