Installation

yarn add styled-icons

or

npm install styled-icons --save

Additionally, you will need to have installed a version of styled-components at least version 4.1.0 or newer, as styled-icons depends on styled-components as a peer dependency.

Usage

All Font Awesome (free), Feather, Material, and Octicon icons are available for preview at the Icon Explorer.

The entire icon packs are available via the main import and sub-imports:

import {material, octicons} from 'styled-icons'

import * as boxiconsLogos from 'styled-icons/boxicons-logos'
import * as boxiconsRegular from 'styled-icons/boxicons-regular'
import * as boxiconsSolid from 'styled-icons/boxicons-solid'
import * as crypto from 'styled-icons/crypto'
import * as evil from 'styled-icons/evil'
import * as faBrands from 'styled-icons/fa-brands'
import * as faRegular from 'styled-icons/fa-regular'
import * as faSolid from 'styled-icons/fa-solid'
import * as feather from 'styled-icons/feather'
import * as icomoon from 'styled-icons/icomoon'
import * as material from 'styled-icons/material'
import * as octicons from 'styled-icons/octicons'
import * as typicons from 'styled-icons/typicons'

The icons are also available as individual imports - it is recommended that you import icons individually using ES modules along with a module bundler like Webpack or Rollup in order to enable tree-shaking. This means that the module bundler will remove unused icons from the final JavaScript bundle, saving bandwidth and speeding up loading:

import React, {Fragment} from 'react'
import {AccountCircle, Lock} from 'styled-icons/material'

const App = () => (
  <Fragment>
    <AccountCircle />
    <Lock />
  </Fragment>
)

Props

Styled Icons accept all the valid props of an <svg /> element, in addition to the following custom props:

| Prop | Required | Type | Description | | ------- | -------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | size | optional | string, number | This is a convenience for setting both width and height to the same value | | title | optional | string | This sets the icon title and enables the standalone icon accessability mode. See accessibility below for additional details |

Example

import React from 'react'
import {Lock} from 'styled-icons/material'

const App = () => <Lock size="48" title="Unlock account" />

Icon Dimensions

Some icons natively have non-square dimensions - original dimensions are exported from the individual icon exports:

import {LogoGithub, LogoGithubDimensions} from 'styled-icons/octicons/LogoGithub'

const App = () => <LogoGithub />

console.log(LogoGithubDimension) // {height: 16, width: 45}

Dimension exports are not available on the icon pack or index exports:

import * as octicons from 'styled-icons/octicons'
import {octicons} from 'styled-icons'

// octicons contains only icon exports

Styled Components

All icons are exported as Styled Components, which means it is possible to utilize the Styled Components API:

import styled from 'styled-components'
import {Lock} from 'styled-icons/material'

export const RedLock = styled(Lock)`
  color: red;

  font-weight: ${props => (props.important ? 'bold' : 'normal')};
`

Accessibility

Styled Icons have two different built-in "modes" for accessibility purposes. By default, icons are considered decorative, meaning the icon is just visual sugar and the surrounding content is sufficient for conveying meaning. This will set the aria-hidden attribute on the resulting HTML to hide the icon from screen readers.

// this icon
<Lock />

// will result in
<svg aria-hidden="true">...</svg>

Alternatively the icon could be used in standalone mode, meaning the icon itself should convey meaning. This mode is enabled by setting a title prop - this is the text that will be read by a screen reader. This results in role being set to img and the addition of a <title> element.

// this icon
<Lock title="Lock account" />

// will result in
<svg role="img"><title>Lock account</title> ...</svg>

Since Style Icons accept all <svg> element attributes as props, you are free to override these aria-* attributes if you have a more complex use-case.

As this library provides direct access to the <svg> element, you may wish to further wrap the icon for additional semantic meaning. For example, for a loading spinner:

import styled from 'styled-components'
import {Spinner} from 'styled-icons/fa-solid/Spinner'

const VisuallyHidden = styled.span`
  border: 0 !important;
  clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px) !important;
  height: 1px !important;
  overflow: hidden !important;
  padding-top: 0 !important;
  padding-right: 0 !important;
  padding-bottom: 0 !important;
  padding-left: 0 !important;
  position: absolute !important;
  white-space: nowrap !important;
  width: 1px !important;
`

<span title="Loading posts..." role="alert" aria-live="assertive">
  <Spinner />
  <VisuallyHidden>Loading posts...</VisuallyHidden>
</span>

Tree Shaking

Styled Icons supports automatic tree-shaking via the package.json module property from any of the import paths (icon pack, individual icon, etc.). Tree shaking has been tested with Create React App v2, Next.js, Rollup, and Webpack v4.

TypeScript

The icons of styled-icons are built using TypeScript and export type definitions. If you need a type to reference any styled icon, there is a StyledIcon type exported from the styled-icons/types import:

import styled from 'styled-components'
import {StyledIcon} from 'styled-icons/types'

interface Props {
  icon: StyledIcon
}

NOTE: you should ensure that the version of @types/react in your project is at least 16.8.14 or greater. That version of the React types package added support for ARIA attributes on SVG elements, which Styled Icons uses.

If you have any ideas for improvements to the TypeScript typing, please open an issue or PR!
