AXA Materials

Materials provides common used icons and images in the SVG format. In addition materials exports styles like colors, helpers, typography and layouts.

Usage

Important: If this component needs to run in Internet Explorer 11, you need to use our polyfill.

npm install @axa-ch/materials

import { svg } from 'lit-html';
import {
  ArrowRightSvg
} from '@axa-ch/materials/icons';
...
<span>${svg(ArrowRightSvg)}</span>

React

import {
  ArrowRightSvg
} from '@axa-ch/materials/icons';
...
<ArrowRightSvg />

You need to use SVGR that takes external SVG files and transforms them into React components with Webpack.

npm install @svgr/webpack --save-dev

{
  test: /\.svg$/,
  use: ['@svgr/webpack'],
}

Process of adding a new icon/image

1. Involve a designer by sending him the new SVG in question, unless the designer already has the file. He will review it and possibly change some things, for example by adjusting inner padding etc. in order to guarantee overall quality.
2. Remove unnecessary code inside the SVG:
   • a. data-name="Layer 2" # layer info for vector drawing software
   • b. <path fill="#fff" d="M0 0h96v96H0z"/> # outer bounding box filled with white background
3. • a. use the internal svgo-invoking scripts npm run build-icons or npm run build-images from materials itself to clean up and optimize the SVGs, then copy the optimized files back from the .tmp folder to icons-raw or images-raw
   • b. alternatively use the [online SVG optimizer](https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/] for the same purpose
4. Manually review the SVGs produced in the last step: add or edit <path> attributes, setting fill="currentColor" and/or strokes="currentColor" as appropriate. Remove unnecessary attributes.
5. Run npm run build to generate a js file for each svg file found. The generated files can be found in the iconsand images folder.
