Directus Gravatar

Extension bundle for Gravatar displays in Directus, including email displays and profile avatars for Directus users.

Project overview

Directus Gravatar adds avatar and email displays based on Gravatar to Directus. The bundle is meant for projects where user profiles, contact lists or email fields should be easier to scan inside the admin interface.

The extension derives the Gravatar hash from the email value and renders a compact avatar display for list and detail views. Records stay visually distinct without maintaining dedicated image fields.

The README also describes a bundled proxy endpoint that can serve avatars through Directus. This helps in environments where content security policies or external image sources are restricted.

What the extension covers

Display for email fields with an automatically generated Gravatar avatar

Interface settings for size, shape, fallback image, rating and email visibility

Proxy-based avatar delivery through Directus instead of direct external image loading

Published as an npm package for straightforward Directus installation

Setup and usage

  1. 1Install the package in the Directus project and restart Directus.
  2. 2Select the Gravatar display on an email field.
