Example 1: We are creating a UI that shows Angular PrimeNG Label Avatar Badges.

app.component.html

<div style="margin:100px"> 
    <h2 style="color: green;">GeeksforGeeks</h2> 
    <h3>Angular PrimeNG Label Avatar Badges </h3> 
    <div class="d-flex ai-center" style="margin:20px">

    </div> 
</div>

app.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'; 
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'; 
import { AvatarModule } from 'primeng/avatar'; 
import { AppComponent } from './app.component'; 
import { BadgeModule } from 'primeng/badge'; 
@NgModule({ 
    declarations: [ 
        AppComponent 
    ], 
    imports: [ 
        BrowserModule, 
        AvatarModule, 
        BadgeModule
