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.

See this kit in action in our sample UI

Icon Default

<%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", fixed_width: true }) %>

Icon Rotate

<%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", fixed_width: true, rotation: 90, size: "2x" }) %>
<%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", fixed_width: true, rotation: 180, size: "2x" }) %>
<%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", fixed_width: true, rotation: 270, size: "2x" }) %>

Icon Flip

<%= 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" }) %>

Icon Animation

Spin

Pulse

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

<p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "spinner", spin: true, fixed_width: true, size: "2x" }) %> <span>Spin</span></p>
<br/>
<p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "spinner", pulse: true, fixed_width: true, size: "2x" }) %> <span>Pulse</span></p>

Icon Pull

Icon Pull can be used to indicate that the user can perform a pull action.

<%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "arrow-left", pull: "left", fixed_width: true, size: "2x" }) %>
<%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "arrow-right", pull: "right", fixed_width: true, size: "2x" }) %>

Icon Border

<%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", border: true, fixed_width: true, size: "2x" }) %>

Icon Sizes

Large

Small

XSmall

10x

<p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", size: "lg" }) %> <span>Large</span></p>
<p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", size: "sm" }) %> <span>Small</span></p>
<p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", size: "xs" }) %> <span>XSmall</span></p>

<br/><br/>

<p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", size: "1x" }) %> <span>1x</span></p>
<p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", size: "2x" }) %> <span>2x</span></p>
<p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", size: "3x" }) %> <span>3x</span></p>
<p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", size: "4x" }) %> <span>4x</span></p>
<p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", size: "5x" }) %> <span>5x</span></p>
<p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", size: "6x" }) %> <span>6x</span></p>
<p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", size: "7x" }) %> <span>7x</span></p>
<p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", size: "8x" }) %> <span>8x</span></p>
<p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", size: "9x" }) %> <span>9x</span></p>
<p><%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "user", size: "10x" }) %> <span>10x</span></p>

Icon Custom

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.

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.

React

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.

Rails

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>

Icon with FontAwesome Kit

Our Icon kit allows integration with FontAwesome's custom kit functionality out-of-the-box.

All you need to do is 3 things:
1) Import your custom-icon.js file as outlined in the FontAwesome docs.
2) Use our fontStyle prop called "fak" so that our Icon component knows you are using a "fa-kit" icon.
3) Pass in your FaKit name as a string to our icon prop (This is the name that you designated when you uploaded the icon on their site).

<%= pb_rails("icon", props: { icon: "powergon", font_style: "fak", fixed_width: true, size: "5x"  }) %>

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.
