Installation
$ npm install fxos-icons
Then include folowing file in HTML
<link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/fxos-icons/fxos-icons.css">
Usage
Use i
tag to represent an icon.
<i data-icon="camera" data-l10n-id="camera"></i>
Examples
Accessibility
aria-label
will be added automatically when data-l10n-id
attribute is specified in target element.
<i data-icon="camera" data-l10n-id="camera"></i>
If the icon is for present only, add aria-hidden
attribute to make it unreachable by the screen reader.
<i data-icon="camera" aria-hidden="true"></i>
If the icon is included in certain component, try integrate it as component's data-icon
attribute and handle the accessiblity related issues automatically.
If aria-hidden
is not used on the icon, it will always be accessible to the screen reader. Adding data-l10n-id
to the element with data-icon
that points to {property}.ariaLabel
in the properties file (that will add an aria-label
attribute to the same element and will not touch inner HTML).
Contributions

Guidelines
For best results, it is recommended to follow these guidelines:
- Make the document 30px × 30px (In Inkscape: File > Document Properties... > Custom size).
- Make the icon 24px × 24px.
- Center the icon (In Inkscape: Object > Align and Distribute... > Align relative to page).
- Make sure to have only one
<path>
with no overlap per icon. - Optimise the icons using svgo, then export to plain SVG file (
$ inkscape -l icon.svg icon.svg
).
Please also make sure new icons naming is consistent with existing ones:
- Use lower case only.
- Separate words with hyphens.
- Use meaningful words rather than acronyms (e.g.
top-left-crop-corner
instead oft-l-crop-corner
).
