File Icons
npm install @drawbotics/file-icons
A simple library to display icons depending on the file type. The library can be used both by importing the stylesheet (useful if you have a simple project without React dependencies), and also exports a React component.
DISCLAIMER
In order to have a single div usage, and given the complexity of the icon look, a lot of CSS features that may not be compatible with older browsers is used. Namely linear-gradient
, border-image
and clip-path
. Nonetheless, all the styles are prefixed.
Usage
There are two ways to use the icons: with a simple div
or with a React component. Either way, you should include the stylesheet to have the icons style:
@import '~@drawbotics/file-icons/dist/style.css';
Pure CSS
You can use file-icons
just by importing the css styling and using a div
as a base element. Add the class file-icon
to your div and set the file type as a data attribute data-file
:
<div className="file-icon" data-file="docx" />
Note: The file extension needs to be in lower case.
You can also pass different class names for different sizes:
<div className="file-icon file-icon--medium" data-file="3ds" />
<div className="file-icon file-icon--large" data-file="rar" />
Example icons with default, medium and large sizing.
React
You can import the component anywhere in your code through:
import { FileIcon } from '@drawbotics/file-icons';
If you use CSSinJS then don't forget to include the stylesheet if you haven't already
import '@drawbotics/file-icons/dist/style.css';
And use it like such:
<FileIcon file="pdf" />
Here are the different options you can pass:
Prop | Type | Description | Possible values
--- | --- | --- | ---
file
| String | File extension without the dot | .doc
size
| String | To toggle between the 3 sizes | medium
, large
filename
| String | If you don't want to extract the extension yourself you can pass the filename directly | my-document.pdf
When using the React component you don't need to worry if the extension/filename is lowercase, the component takes care of that.
Supported file types
Any file extension that does not match the ones included with the library will fallback to the default grey color. Each category has its own color. The supported extension is a subset of the provided value, meaning that docx
is supported since we look for doc
.
