An icon is a graphic symbol that represents an object (ie a file) or a function. They can be used to give the user feedback.
<%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "question-circle", fixed_width: true, flip: "horizontal", size: "2x" }) %> <%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "question-circle", fixed_width: true, flip: "vertical", size: "2x" }) %> <%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "question-circle", fixed_width: true, flip: "both", size: "2x" }) %>
Spin

A spinner icon can show a user that something is loading or saving.

When using custom icons it is important to introduce a "clean" SVG. In order to ensure these custom icons perform as intended within your kit(s), ensure these things have been modified from the original SVG markup:
Attributes must be React compatible e.g. xmlns:xlink
should be xmlnsXlink
and so on. There should be no hyphenated attributes and no semi-colons!.
Fill colors with regards to g
or path
nodes, e.g. fill="black"
, should be replaced with currentColor
ala fill="currentColor"
. Your mileage may vary depending on the complexity of your SVG.
Pay attention to your custom icon's dimensions and viewBox
attribute. It is best to use a viewBox="0 0 512 512"
starting point when designing instead of trying to retrofit the viewbox afterwards!
You must source your own SVG into component/view you are working on. This can easily be done in programmatic and maintainable ways.
So long as you have a valid React <SVG>
node, you can send it as the customIcon
prop and the kit will take care of the rest.
Some Rails applications use only webpack(er) which means using image_url
will be successful over image_path
in most cases especially development where Webpack Dev Server is serving assets over HTTP. Rails applications still using Asset Pipeline may use image_path
or image_url
. Of course, YMMV depending on any custom configurations in your Rails application.
<%# SVG fill color inherited from css color property %> <div class="icon-wrapper"> <% svg_url = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/Wrench_font_awesome.svg" %> <p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { custom_icon: svg_url } ) %></p> <p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { rotation: 90, custom_icon: svg_url, size: "2x" } ) %></p> <p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { spin: true, custom_icon: svg_url, size: "3x" } ) %></p> <p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { size: "5x", custom_icon: svg_url } ) %></p> <p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { flip: "horizontal", size: "5x", custom_icon: svg_url } ) %></p> <%= pb_rails("body", props: { text: "Custom icons are compatible with other icon props (size, rotation, spin, flip, etc). Their SVG fill colors will be inherited from parent element's css color properties." } ) %> </div>
Be careful of use cases where there should be a clickable area around the icon. Icon Circle Button may need to be used instead.
