Easy UI Icons

Easy UI Icons is a package containing the icons that experiences can use to build on the EasyPost platform, and contains SVG files in the svg directory.

Easy UI Icons generally uses a subset of Material Symbols.

Set: Material Symbols
Style: Outlined
Fill: 0
Weight: 300
Grade: Normal
Size: 48dp

Getting started

Although it’s possible to use this package directly, we recommend using the icons in this package through Easy UI React in combination with the Icon component.

Installation

1. Install Easy UI React (instructions) if you haven’t already.

2. Install Easy UI Icons as a dependency:

   Using npm:

   npm install @easypost/easy-ui-icons --save
   

Usage

Import the Icon component from Easy UI React and any icon from Easy UI Icons into your project.

1. Import the icon component from Easy UI React:

   import Icon from "@easypost/easy-ui/Icon";
   

2. Import an icon from Easy UI Icons:

   import CheckCircleIcon from "@easypost/easy-ui-icons/CheckCircle";
   

3. Pass the imported Easy UI icon to the symbol prop of the Icon component:

   <Icon symbol={CheckCircleIcon} />
   

Icons imported as illustrated above will assume a weight of 300. To import an icon with a different weight, add the weight as a suffix to the path.

import Icon400 from "@easypost/easy-ui/Icon400";

SVG files

For projects that don’t use React and need the raw SVG, icons are available as *.svg files in the svg folder.

import svgFile from "@easypost/easy-ui-icons/svg/Info.svg";

Development

Commands

Command	Runs
npm run build	Builds the icons project
npm run clean	Removes temp directories
npm run dev	Builds the icons project on file changes

Adding an icon

Add icons to the src/ folder. Easy UI Icons supports custom SVG files and JSON files referencing Material Symbol configurations.

All icons in src/ are transpiled to React components and re-exported as raw SVGs on build.

Material Symbols

Add a new Material Symbol icon by specifying a named JSON file with a Material Symbols configuration.

Check.json:

{
  "name": "check",
  "style": "outlined",
  "source": "@material-symbols/svg-300"
}

To add a new Material Symbol icon with a weight other than 300, update the above to reflect it as so; using a weight of 400 as an example:

Check400.json:

{
  "name": "check",
  "style": "outlined",
  "source": "@material-symbols/svg-400"
}
