Advanced tools
Package description
@chakra-ui/icon is a package from the Chakra UI library that provides a set of customizable and accessible icons for React applications. It allows developers to easily integrate icons into their UI components with consistent styling and behavior.
Basic Icon Usage
This feature allows you to use any icon from popular icon libraries like FontAwesome by importing the icon and using it with the `Icon` component from @chakra-ui/icon. The `as` prop specifies the icon, and you can customize its size and color.
import { Icon } from '@chakra-ui/icon';
import { FaBeer } from 'react-icons/fa';
function Example() {
return <Icon as={FaBeer} w={8} h={8} color="teal.500" />;
}
Custom SVG Icons
This feature allows you to create custom SVG icons by defining the SVG path within the `Icon` component. The `viewBox` and `color` props help in customizing the icon's appearance.
import { Icon } from '@chakra-ui/icon';
function CustomIcon() {
return (
<Icon viewBox="0 0 200 200" color="red.500">
<path
fill="currentColor"
d="M100 100c-20 0-36 16-36 36s16 36 36 36 36-16 36-36-16-36-36-36z"
/>
</Icon>
);
}
Icon Button
This feature allows you to create buttons with icons using the `IconButton` component. The `icon` prop specifies the icon to be used, and `aria-label` provides accessibility support.
import { IconButton } from '@chakra-ui/button';
import { FaSearch } from 'react-icons/fa';
function SearchButton() {
return <IconButton icon={<FaSearch />} aria-label="Search" />;
