This library is a collection of Vue single-file components to render Material Design Icons, sourced from the MaterialDesign project. It also includes some CSS that helps make the scaling of the icons a little easier.
Getting started
Install the package
yarn add vue-material-design-iconsOR
npm i vue-material-design-iconsImport the icon, and declare it as a local component:
import MenuIcon from 'vue-material-design-icons/Menu.vue'; components: { MenuIcon; }OR
Declare it as a global component:
import MenuIcon from 'vue-material-design-icons/Menu.vue'; Vue.component('menu-icon', MenuIcon);Note Icon files are pascal cased, e.g.
CheckboxMarkedCircle.vue, and their default name hasIconappended e.g.CheckboxMarkedCircleIcon.Then use it in your template code!
<menu-icon />Optional Add the included stylesheet. This few lines of CSS will cause the icons to scale with any surrounding text, which can be helpful when you primarily style with CSS. Note that if you intend to handle sizing with the
sizeprop, you probably don't want to use this as it may conflict.import 'vue-material-design-icons/styles.css';
Props
title- This changes the hover tooltip as well as the title shown to screen readers. For accessibility purposes, if atitleis not provided, then the icon is hidden from screen readers. This is to force developers to use meaningful titles for their icon usage.Example:
<android-icon title="this is an icon!" />fillColor- This property allows you to set the fill colour of an icon via JS instead of requiring CSS changes. Note that any CSS values, such asfill: currentColor;provided by the optional CSS file, may override colours set with this prop.Example:
<android-icon fillColor="#FF0000" />size- This property overrides thewidthandheightattributes on the SVG. The default is24.Example:
<android-icon :size="48" />
Icons
A list of the icons can be found at the
Material Design Icons website. The icons packaged here are pascal cased
versions of the names displayed on the website, to match the
Vue Style Guide. For example, the icon
named ultra-high-definition would be imported as
"vue-material-design-icons/UltraHighDefinition.vue".
Tips
Use
resolvein your Webpack config to clean up the imports:resolve: { alias : { "icons": path.resolve(__dirname, "node_modules/vue-material-design-icons") }, extensions: [ ".vue" ] }This will give you much shorter and more readable imports, like
import Android from "icons/Android", rather thanimport Android from "vue-material-design-icons/Android.vue". Much better!If you want custom sizing, add your own css to adjust the height and width of the icons
.material-design-icon.icon-2x { height: 2em; width: 2em; } .material-design-icon.icon-2x > .material-design-icon__svg { height: 2em; width: 2em; }Then add your size class
<fullscreen-icon class="icon-2x" />While I recommend using CSS for styling, you can also pass in a
sizeprop, detailed in thePropssection above.
