React SVG Icon Generator Typescript

Generate React Icon Component from SVG icons to show, resize and recolor them. The default template is a typescript template.

Dependencies

This codebase is built on node v6: https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v6.9.0/

Instalation

You need to add this just to development, because it will generate self contained React component directly to your codebase.

npm install --save-dev react-svg-icon-generator-ts

Setup a node file

const generator = require('react-svg-icon-generator-ts');
const config = {
    svgDir: './src/ui/icons/',
    destination: './src/components/ui/Icon.tsx'
};
generator(config);

• svgDir (required) - path to your directory with svg files. Can be relative path but it is better to use path.join(__dirname, 'icons') absolute path so it will work in any directory of project
• destination (required) - path.join(__dirname, 'components', 'Icon.js')
• comment (optional) - it will be added to generated component, so other developer will know what to do
• template (optional) - provide path to your custom template, you can look at example at Icon.template

run it by gulp icon

Use generate Icon component

import React, {Component} from 'react';
import Icon from './Icon';

export default class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        Simple possible usage
        <Icon kind='clock' />

        Setup color and bounding width and height
        <Icon kind='close' color='#748' width={500} height={100} />

        Setup color and bounding width and height to size (square)
        <Icon kind='close' color='red' size={600} />

        Setup onClick behavior
        <Icon kind='close' onClick={() => alert('clicked on icon')} />

        Show all icons at once with description (for finding right icon)
        <Icon preview />
      </div>
    );
  }
}
