Fluent::Icons

This gem allows you to use Microsoft's Fluent Icons package in a Rails app through the fluent() helper. This has been extracted from https://games.directory without any other consideration, as such, if it doesn't work for you, you can either open an Issue or Pull Request.

https://github.com/microsoft/fluentui-system-icons

I'm happy to merge anything that'll make this work with any other Rails app.

Considerations

• Currently, the gem has to be updated manually each time the fluent repository gets updated. Expect weekly updates.
• The gem stores a copy of all SVG images available in the FluentUI Icon library. It's beefy!

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'fluent-icons'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install fluent-icons

Usage

Plain Ruby FluentIcons::Fluent.new('add', style: 'regular', weight: 20, **options) Rails fluent('add', style: 'regular', weight: 20, **options)

By default, the helper will use weight: 20 of the SVG icon. However, not all of them have a weight of 20. If the SVG image is not found, you should try a different weight like so: fluent('add', weight: 24)

With TailwindCSS, you can change the size and color of the icon with fluent('add', class: 'w-4 h-4 fill-current text-green-500')

To avoid having to add the fill-current class each time, you can add these CSS rules:

.fluent path { @apply fill-current; } /* TailwindCSS with JIT */
.fluent path { fill: currentColor; } /* Plain CSS */

ToDo

• Add a ViewComponent option
• Add CSS fonts
• Get rid of Nokogiri
• Find a better way to store the icons. (updated: They are now stored in a JSON file)
• Use Github Actions to update the build folder and generate the required schema automatically on new releases
• Add a way to search them on Github Pages (updated: https://fluenticons.co/ is pretty good)
• Render raw SVG, instead of images, when previewing so we can dynamically set color and size, if needed
• Include TailwindCSS extension to allow for dynamic color and size when rendering the icon

Update

To update the icons, run bin/update. This will copy all the icons from the FluentUI Icon library to the lib/data/svg directory and create the new data.json with the updated schema.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies.
