@spectrum-web-components/iconset

Overview

Extend either the Iconset or IconsetSVG exports of this package to supply your application with a custom icon set to power the use of <sp-icon> elements throughout. Give your new icon set a custom name, and you'll be ready to supply them as <sp-icon name="custom-icons:icon"> across your application.

Usage

yarn add @spectrum-web-components/iconset

import { TemplateResult } from 'lit-element';
import { IconsetSVG } from '@spectrum-web-components/iconset/src/iconset-svg.js';

import { CustomIconSet } from 'your-icon-set.js';

export class IconsLarge extends IconsetSVG {
    public constructor() {
        super();
        this.name = 'custom-icons'; // default iconset name for these icons
    }

    protected renderDefaultContent(): TemplateResult {
        return CustomIconSet;
    }
}

Deprecated

Iconsets have been deprecated and will be removed from the project in an upcoming version. Using a technique that ensures only the icons actually leveraged in your application are present in your build, like UI Icons (../icons-ui/) or Workflow Icons (../icons-workflow/), will ensure smaller bundles and higher performance for you visitor. For non-Spectrum icons, you can still slot SVG and image content into an sp-icon element or sanitize the SVG to a template literal so that it can be returned from the render() method in an extension of IconBase to create your own named icon element.

Changelog

1.7.0 (2025-06-11)

Minor Changes

sp-overlay: Fixed : Overlays (like pickers and action menus) were incorrectly closing when scrolling occurred within components. The fix ensures the handleScroll method in OverlayStack only responds to document/body scrolling events and ignores component-level scrolling events, which was the original intention.

sp-card: Fixed: On mobile Chrome (both Android and iOS), scrolling on sp-card components would inadvertently trigger click events. This was caused by the timing-based click detection (200ms threshold) in the pointer event handling, which could misinterpret quick scrolls as clicks. This issue did not affect Safari on mobile devices.

sp-action-button: - Fixed : Action buttons with href attributes now properly detects modifier keys and skips the proxy click, allowing only native browser behavior to proceed.

Patch Changes

sp-styles: Remove unnecessary system theme references to reduce complexity for components that don't need the additional mapping layer.

sp-card: - Fixed: sp-card component relies on sp-popover for certain toggle interactive behaviors, but this dependency was missing from its dependency tree.

sp-menu: Fixes: Icons in menu stories weren't properly responding to theme changes when used in functional story components. Switching to class-based LitElement components ensures proper component lifecycle hooks and shadow DOM context for icon initialization and theme integration.

sp-tabs: Added @spectrum-web-components/action-button as a dependency for Tabs as its used in the direction button.

sp-split-view: Added @spectrum-web-components/shared dependency in splitview since it uses ranDomId from the shared package

sp-textfield: Replace deprecated word-break: break-word with overflow-wrap: break-word to align with modern CSS standards and improve cross-browser compatibility. This property was deprecated in Chrome 44 (July 2015) in favor of the standardized overflow-wrap property.
