Documentation

The Octicon class takes two arguments. The first is the symbol of the icon, and the second is a hash of arguments representing html attributes

symbol (required)

This is the name of the octicon you want to use. For example alert. Full list of icons

Options

• :height - When setting the height to a number, the icon will scale to that size. For example, passing 32, will calculate the width based on the icon's natural size.
• :width - When setting the width to a number, the icon will scale to that size. For example, passing 32, will calculate the width based on the icon's natural size.

If both :width, :height are passed into the options hash, then the icon will be sized exactly at those dimensions.

Attributes

Once initialized, you can read a few properties from the icon.

icon = Octicons::Octicon.new("x")
icon.symbol
# "x"
