icons-gen

For a custom config file name:

icons-gen --configFile=yourConfigFileName.js

Icon Types

SimpleIcon

type SimpleIcon = {
    data: string;
    height: number;
    width: number;
};

Example:

test: {
    width: 50,
    height: 60,
    data: `<path fill="#fecd09" d="M33.03 17.44c-1.68 0-3.12-.99-3.79-2.42h7.58a4.181 4.181 0 01-3.79 2.42z" />`,
}

SizedIcon

type SizedIcon = Record<number, string>;

Example:

test: {
    24: `<path fill="#fecd09" d="M33.03 17.44c-1.68 0-3.12-.99-3.79-2.42h7.58a4.181 4.181 0 01-3.79 2.42z" />`,
    44: `<path fill="#fecd09" d="M33.03 17.44c-1.68 0-3.12-.99-3.79-2.42h7.58a4.181 4.181 0 01-3.79 2.42z" />`,
}

Predefined providers

Font Awesome Pro Adapter

Local Development Setup

// Set registry and token
npm config set "@fortawesome:registry" https://npm.fontawesome.com/
npm config set "//npm.fontawesome.com/:_authToken" YOUR_TOKEN

// Install package
npm install --save-dev @fortawesome/fontawesome-pro

Usage

const { faPro } = require('@uxf/icons-generator/providers/fa-pro');

icons: {
    // for icons with default name (preferred)
    ...faPro.adapter(["brands.linkedin"]),
    // to define custom name for an icon
    twitter: faPro.icon("brands.twitter"),
}

Without Private Key

If your project already contains generated icons, installing the Font Awesome Pro package is not necessary. The package automatically generates a 'fallback file' for the icons in use, ensuring functionality even without Font Awesome Pro. However, while this setup allows for the continued use of existing icons, adding new icons from the adapter will not be possible.

Recommended Usage (Step-by-Step)

1. Configuration

Create and configure your icon settings in a config file at the project's root.

2. Icon Generation

Execute icons-gen to produce:

SVG sprite and individual files.
Definition file with icon list and sizes.
Config file with icon version and sprite path.

3. Icon Component Setup

Incorporate the generated output into your project. Example for TypeScript and React:

import { ICONS, IconsSet } from "src/config/icons";
import { ICON_SPRITE } from "src/config/icons-config";

type IconProps = {
    name: IconsSet;
};

export const Icon: FC<IconProps> = ({ name }) => {
    const sizes = ICONS[name];

    return (
        <svg
            height={sizes.h}
            width={sizes.w}
            preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet"
            role="img"
            viewBox={`0 0 ${sizes.w} ${sizes.h}`}
        >
            <use xlinkHref={`${ICON_SPRITE}#icon-sprite--${name}`} />
        </svg>
    );
};

4. Sprite Preloading (Optional)

import { ICON_SPRITE, ICONS_VERSION } from "src/config/icons-config";

// code here...

<Head>
    <link
        as="image"
        href={`${ICON_SPRITE}?v=${ICONS_VERSION}`}
        rel="preload"
        type="image/svg+xml"
    />
</Head>

5. Verification

Run icons-check to ensure icon consistency with the config. It's recommended to integrate this check into your CI process.
