Avatar display on Mail view

I have done this.

And have been trying to display a default user image when user doesn't have an avatar image, but it is not working. The image is in data/user.png location, and I am giving the same source path src: '../data/user.png' for the image, but it is not getting loaded.

I have tried so much for making this work, but haven't been able to do this. Need some guidance.

Update I am thinking of doing this instead. I have shown their first character of name in the icon. What do you think?

Did this also for People Section.

Its good, maybe later when you know how, then can be fixed or use of identicon for people without avatars but not yet importend

other idea for avatars with background colors https://dev.to/admitkard/auto-generate-avatar-colors-randomly-138j https://medium.com/@pppped/compute-an-arbitrary-color-for-user-avatar-starting-from-his-username-with-javascript-cd0675943b66

on qt we use Identicon for users which not adds a avatar picture https://jdenticon.com/#icon-Stella https://www.npmjs.com/package/jdenticon/v/3.2.0
