atom-file-icons

File specific icons for JavaScript. A port of the file-icons/atom package.

This package was made to replace file-icons-js (and that was the basis for it), but it is kept up to date automatically with a GitHub action, so it should never get out of sync with the master for more than a day.

Usage

To install the package, install it with npm or yarn:

npm install atom-file-icons
# or
yarn add atom-file-icons

And import either of the provided functions:

import { getIconClass, getIconClassList } from 'atom-file-icons';

And finally, you can find the provided fonts and css styles here:

// Styles
import 'atom-file-icons/dist/index.css';

// Fonts
import 'atom-file-icons/dist/fonts/devopicons.woff2';
import 'atom-file-icons/dist/fonts/file-icons.woff2';
import 'atom-file-icons/dist/fonts/fontawesome.woff2';
import 'atom-file-icons/dist/fonts/mfixx.woff2';
import 'atom-file-icons/dist/fonts/octicons.woff2';

The way the fonts and styles are bundled is up to your build tools, but all of the fonts are included as font-faces in the styles file.

API

getIconClass(name: string, opts: Options): string | null

The getIconClass method returns a string containing a joint class name to use on an element in order to make it into a file icon. It takes a set of options which can modify the resulting class:

• colorMode: "light" | "dark" | "mono" — Each icon class contains both the icon specific class string as well as a color class string. This option determines whether the app is in light or dark mode, or if you'd rather have a monotone version of the icon.
• isDir: boolean — This options determines whether or not the resulting icon should be for a directory, as files and directories both have their own set of icons.
• skipFallback: boolean — Normally, this package will default the file icons to the default text file icon, or the folder icon to the default folder icon. If this option is passed and no match is found, the function will return null.

getIconClassList(name: string, opts: Options): string[] | null

This function takes the same options as getIconClass, the only difference is that instead of a single joint class name, it will return an array of all of the classes that should be used to make up the icon. If skipFallback is passed and no match is found, you will still receive null as a response.
