Icon

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.

Icon Custom

Tips for Custom Icons

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.

Rails

Sending the absolute path to the icon prop results in an <SVG> tag within the working view.

<%# 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: { icon: svg_url } ) %></p>
  <p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { rotation: 90, icon: svg_url, size: "2x" } ) %></p>
  <p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { spin: true, icon: svg_url, size: "3x" } ) %></p>
  <p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { size: "5x", icon: svg_url } ) %></p>
  <p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { flip: "horizontal", size: "5x", icon: svg_url } ) %></p>
</div>

Icon Color

Pass any text, status, data, product, or category Playbook color token to the color prop to change any icon's color.

<%= pb_rails("flex", props: { margin_bottom: "sm" }) do %>
    <%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", fixed_width: true, color: "primary", size: "2x" }) %>
    <%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "recycle", fixed_width: true, color: "data_4", size: "2x" }) %>
    <%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "roofing", fixed_width: true, color: "product_5_background", size: "2x" }) %>
<% end %>

<%= pb_rails("flex", props: {}) do %>
    <%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", fixed_width: true, color: "light", size: "2x" }) %>
    <%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "recycle", fixed_width: true, color: "lighter", size: "2x" }) %>
    <%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "roofing", fixed_width: true, color: "link", size: "2x" }) %>
<% end %>

Things to Avoid

Be careful of use cases where there should be a clickable area around the icon. Icon Circle Button may need to be used instead.
