SVG Icons
This is a template repository used to quickly scaffold a React SVG Icon library.
Installation
This repository isn't published. It exists as a template repository for you to use, populate with SVGs, and maintain an Icon library!
If you use this template repository, please ensure that the .browserslistrc
and svgo.config.js
match defaults that make you and/or your company happy. Additionally, you'll want to change the import path defining ProductionBundleIconsMap
in both src/index.test.js
and src/index.stories.tsx
to match the name
field of your package.json
.
Native
This library supports React Native. Just import icons using @sammarks/icons/native
instead of @sammarks/icons
.
Internally, it uses react-native-svg
, so make sure that's installed and configured as well.
Contributing new icons to the library
Process
- Put your SVG icon into
src/svgs
(orsrc/svgs/color
for color SVGs) - Ensure that the
svg
includes atitle
element as the first child of thesvg
element.- Its content should be a human-readible description of the SVG (this is for accessibility)
- Add the correct type-safe mapping in
src/index.ts
(follow the pattern) - Add the correct type-safe mapping in
src/native.tsx
(follow the pattern) yarn format:all
to format the SVGs.yarn build && yarn test -u
to updates snapshotsyarn storybook
to go and see the result of your work in Storybook.
Usage
Importing
import { Alert, Basketball } from 'svg-icons';
Customizing
Every component accepts all props that you'd expect an inlined svg
to accept in a React environment. This includes className
, style
, fill
, width
, height
, etc.
import { Alert } from 'svg-icons';
<Alert fill="#FFF" width="20px" height="20px" />
Considerations when deciding if your icon belongs here
- If you want the icon to express meaning by itself (without text)...
Please render the SVG inline into your application. Be sure that aria-hidden="false"
and also apply an id
to the <title>
aspect of the SVG. Lastly, give the value of that id
to the attribute aria-labelledby
on the actual <svg>
.
- If you don't want the icon to be customizable (fill, stroke, etc.) via props...
- If you want the paths of the icon to be controllable in animations...
This repository is for uniformly behaving, customizable icon sets. Please render the SVG inline into your application OR please integrate react-svg-loader into your application, steal our svgo config, and simply manage the implementation yourself.
- If you want the paths of the icon to be customizeable...
You'll want to make a custom component in your application. Please render the SVG inline into your application OR please integrate react-svg-loader into your application, steal our svgo config, and simply manage the implementation yourself.
- If the icon has a predefined
fill
attribute on the actual<svg>
...
Note that fill
is transformed to be currentColor
. All you'll need to do is ensure the icon is rendered in a parent element whose CSS property color
is defined.
