Hi @pearbender. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- To create a user menu in Nuxt UI where clicking an icon shows a menu with a "Logout" option, you can use the UDropdownMenu component with a button as the trigger and define your menu items, including "Logout". Here’s a minimal example: 
<script setup lang="ts">
import type { DropdownMenuItem } from '@nuxt/ui'

const items = [
  {
    label: 'Logout',
    icon: 'i-lucide-log-out',
    // Add your logout logic here, e.g.:
    onSelect: () => {
      // logout function
    }
  }
] satisfies DropdownMenuItem[]
</script>

<template>
  <UDropdownMenu :items="items" :ui="{ content: 'w-48' }">
    <UButton icon="i-lucide-user" color="neutral" variant="outline" aria-label="User menu" />
  </UDropdownMenu>
</template>
<script setup lang="ts">
import type { DropdownMenuItem } from '@nuxt/ui'

const items = [
  {
    label: 'Logout',
    icon: 'i-lucide-log-out',
    // Add your logout logic here, e.g.:
    onSelect: () => {
      // logout function
    }
  }
] satisfies DropdownMenuItem[]
</script>

<template>
  <UDropdownMenu :items="items" :ui="{ content: 'w-48' }">
    <UButton icon="i-lucide-user" color="neutral" variant="outline" aria-label="User menu" />
  </UDropdownMenu>
</template>
- The UButton with a user icon acts as the menu trigger. - The items array defines the menu options, including "Logout". - You can add your logout logic inside the onSelect handler for the "Logout" item. This approach follows the Nuxt UI documentation for dropdown menus and menu items, including support for icons and click handlers DropdownMenu Items. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@kapa.ai the icon should be able to be set to a picture such as the google account picture from auth0

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- You can set the trigger for the user menu to display a user picture (such as a Google account picture from Auth0) by using the UAvatar component as the trigger for UDropdownMenu. The UAvatar component supports displaying an image via the src prop. Here’s how you can do it: 
<script setup lang="ts">
import type { DropdownMenuItem } from '@nuxt/ui'

const userImage = '<https://your-auth0-google-picture-url.com/avatar.jpg'>

const items = [
  {
    label: 'Logout',
    icon: 'i-lucide-log-out',
    // Add your logout logic here
    onSelect: () => {
      // logout function
    }
  }
] satisfies DropdownMenuItem[]
</script>

<template>
  <UDropdownMenu :items="items" :ui="{ content: 'w-48' }">
    <UAvatar :src="userImage" size="md" alt="User menu" />
  </UDropdownMenu>
</template>
<script setup lang="ts">
import type { DropdownMenuItem } from '@nuxt/ui'

const userImage = '<https://your-auth0-google-picture-url.com/avatar.jpg'>

const items = [
  {
    label: 'Logout',
    icon: 'i-lucide-log-out',
    // Add your logout logic here
    onSelect: () => {
      // logout function
    }
  }
] satisfies DropdownMenuItem[]
</script>

<template>
  <UDropdownMenu :items="items" :ui="{ content: 'w-48' }">
    <UAvatar :src="userImage" size="md" alt="User menu" />
  </UDropdownMenu>
</template>
- Replace the value of userImage with the actual URL of the user's profile picture from Auth0. - UAvatar will show the image, and clicking it will open the dropdown menu with the "Logout" option. This approach is supported by the documentation for both UDropdownMenu and UAvatar, which allows using an avatar as a trigger and displaying an image via the src prop DropdownMenu Items Avatar Usage. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Your code has a typo: you define the variable as userPicutre but use userImage in the template. This will cause the avatar image not to display, as userImage is undefined. How to fix: Change all instances of userPicutre to userImage (or vice versa) so the variable name is consistent. For example: 
<script setup lang="ts">
import { useAuth0 } from '@auth0/auth0-vue'

const userImage = ref<string>('') // <-- use userImage
const logout = ref<(() => void)>(() => {})

if (import.meta.client) {
  const auth0 = useAuth0()
  userImage.value = auth0.user?.picture ?? '' // <-- use userImage
  logout.value = auth0.logout
}

const items = [
  {
    label: 'Logout',
    icon: 'i-lucide-log-out',
    onSelect: () => {
      logout.value({
        returnTo: window.location.origin,
      })
    }
  }
] satisfies DropdownMenuItem[]
</script>
<script setup lang="ts">
import { useAuth0 } from '@auth0/auth0-vue'

const userImage = ref<string>('') // <-- use userImage
const logout = ref<(() => void)>(() => {})

if (import.meta.client) {
  const auth0 = useAuth0()
  userImage.value = auth0.user?.picture ?? '' // <-- use userImage
  logout.value = auth0.logout
}

const items = [
  {
    label: 'Logout',
    icon: 'i-lucide-log-out',
    onSelect: () => {
      logout.value({
        returnTo: window.location.origin,
      })
    }
  }
] satisfies DropdownMenuItem[]
</script>
And in your template: 
<UAvatar :src="userImage" size="md" alt="User menu" />
<UAvatar :src="userImage" size="md" alt="User menu" />
Summary:
The issue is a variable name mismatch, not a problem with Nuxt UI or the DropdownMenu usage. The approach of using UAvatar as a trigger for UDropdownMenu is correct and supported by the documentation DropdownMenu Items Avatar Usage. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the knowledge sources provided, your usage of UDropdownMenu with UAvatar as the trigger is correct and supported by Nuxt UI. However, the knowledge sources do not contain explicit troubleshooting steps for why the avatar image might not display when using a dynamic value like userPicture from Auth0. Here are some things confirmed by the documentation: - UAvatar supports the src prop for displaying an image, and can be used as a trigger for UDropdownMenu Avatar Usage DropdownMenu Items. - There are no documented restrictions in Nuxt UI about using a dynamically set src for UAvatar. However, the knowledge sources do not provide information about integration with Auth0 or about reactivity issues when setting the src prop from an external authentication provider. Summary:
Your code matches the documented usage of UDropdownMenu and UAvatar. If the avatar is still not displaying, the knowledge sources do not provide enough information to diagnose the issue further. The problem may be related to how the userPicture value is set or updated, or to the Auth0 integration, but this is outside the scope of the provided documentation. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

but on the server side before a picture is avialble i want to display the user icon

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books: ---------------------- To display a user icon as a fallback when the picture is not available (such as during server-side rendering), you can use the UAvatar component’s icon prop. According to the documentation, if you provide the icon prop, it will be shown when the src is empty or not yet available Avatar Usage. Here’s how you can update your template: 
<UDropdownMenu :items="items" :ui="{ content: 'w-48' }">
  <UAvatar
    :src="userPicture"
    icon="i-lucide-user"
    size="md"
    alt="User menu"
  />
</UDropdownMenu>
<UDropdownMenu :items="items" :ui="{ content: 'w-48' }">
  <UAvatar
    :src="userPicture"
    icon="i-lucide-user"
    size="md"
    alt="User menu"
  />
</UDropdownMenu>
With this setup, UAvatar will display the user icon (i-lucide-user) when userPicture is empty or not yet loaded, and will automatically switch to the user’s picture when it becomes available Avatar Usage. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
