@react-md/icon
Create icons using a font-icon library like material-icons or font-awesome or plain old accessible SVG icons. There are also a few additional helpers to creating animating rotating icons and separating text from an icon.
Installation
npm install --save @react-md/iconIt is also recommended to install the other packages if you have not done so:
npm install --save @react-md/theme @react-md/typographyPre-made material icons
If you would like to have access to all material icons as existing components
instead of having to manually remember the correct children to provide or the
correct path, you can install the @react-md/material-icons package. This
will include all material icons as font and SVGs.
Documentation
You should check out the full documentation for live examples and more customization information, but an example usage is shown below.
Usage
Even though the FontIcon and SVGIcon components are the "main" exports for
this package, they are more utility components and probably won't be used much
once you set up your own icon system. The real exports are going to be the
TextIconSpacing and IconRotator components.
The TextIconSpacing component is used to add spacing between an icon and some
"text" where the text can be any renderable element. The IconRotator is used
to animate an icon rotation such as expander or collapse icons.
import { render } from "react-dom";
import { FontIcon, TextIconSpacing } from "@react-md/icon";
import { Typography } from "@react-md/typography";
// the Typography component is optional, it'll just add better typography
// than normal text.
const App = () => (
<>
// creates an icon spaced before the "Go Home" text
<TextIconSpacing icon={<FontIcon>home</FontIcon>}>
<Typography>Go Home</Typography>
</TextIconSpacing>
// creates an icon spaced after the "Go Home" text
<TextIconSpacing icon={<FontIcon>home</FontIcon>} iconAfter>
<Typography>Go Home</Typography>
</TextIconSpacing>
// it can also be combined
<TextIconSpacing icon={<FontIcon>arrow_back</FontIcon>}>
<TextIconSpacing icon={<FontIcon>home</FontIcon>} iconAfter>
<Typography>Go Home</Typography>
</TextIconSpacing>
</TextIconSpacing>
</>
);
render(<App />, document.getElementById("root"));This package's icon component usage is really only helpful when generating icon
components through an external script or using font icons. However, here are a
few examples of using the FontIcon and SVGIcon components:
import { render } from "react-dom";
import { FontIcon, SVGIcon } from "@react-md/icon";
// When using font icons, you'll need to make sure they icon fonts have been
// correctly included in your app. Check out the documentation site for more
// info
const App = () => (
<>
<FontIcon>home</FontIcon>
<FontIcon iconClassName="fa fa-github" aria-label="Github" />
<SVGIcon title="Face">
