Astro Icon

A straight-forward Icon component for Astro.

astro-icon will automatically optimize icons with svgo and inline them directly into your HTML—no extra build step, no spritesheet complexity, no cross-browser concerns! See "A Pretty Good SVG Icon System" from CSS Tricks.

Usage

1. Install astro-icon.

npm i astro-icon
# or
yarn add astro-icon

1. Create a directory inside of src/ named icons/.
2. Add each desired icon as an individual .svg file to src/icons/
3. Reference a specific icon file using the name prop.

---
import Icon from 'astro-icon';
---

<!-- Loads the SVG in `/src/icons/filename.svg` -->
<Icon name="filename" />

Styling

Styling your astro-icon is straightforward. Any styles can be targeted to the [astro-icon] attribute selector. If you want to target a specific icon, you may target it by name using [astro-icon="filename"].

---
import Icon from 'astro-icon';
---

<style lang="css">
    [astro-icon] {
        color: blue;
    }
    [astro-icon="annotation"] {
        color: red;
    }
</style>

<Icon name="adjustment" /> <!-- will be blue -->
<Icon name="annotation" /> <!-- will be red -->

Props

<Icon> requires the name prop to reference a specific icon.

<Icon> optionally accepts the optimize prop as a boolean. Defaults to true. In the future it will control svgo options.

<Icon> also accepts any global HTML attributes and aria attributes. They will be forwarded to the rendered <svg> element.

See the Props.ts file for more details.
