Icons to React SVG / Font-family / Experimental pseudo-element

This package is for creating react component with svg icon, or font-family or icons based on :before pseudo-element using one click.

Important

1) Do not use unicode bigger than 1000 (it is not working)!

2) Use underscores in the icon file name!

Installation:

just install it, ie: yarn

Adding new icons:

1. Add icon into icon folder

2. Optional: You can add icon number into scripts/icons.json file.

   {[icon_file_name], [unicode (it need to be uniq)].

   It will produce an icon with this unicode. If you will miss this step script will generate code for you. Everything you'll find in scripts/icons.json file.

3. Run yarn build

   It will produce icon components (lib folder) + experimental pseudo-elements with SVGs (lib/styles.css) + font-family (dist folder) + cleared icons in .icons

PS. For a preview, you can check dist/icons.html in the browser.

Base usage:

1) SVG as component:

import { Add } from 'icons-to-react-svg';

return (
	<Add
		color={STRING}
		size={NUMBER || STRING}
		{other props}
	/>
)

2) Font-family:

1. you need to set new icon in you icon file
2. you're able to use this icon by unicode, ie: @include icon(directions, '\e993');

this mixin will create an icon in css .icon-directions and scss placeholder %icon-directions

3) Experimental SVG icons insider :before / :after - for now, it is OFF:

1. you need to import styles lib/styles.css into you repo
2. Icons are working with double dash as prefix ie:

• .icon--add - it is using :before pseudo-element
• .icon--add-after - it is using :after pseudo-element

How yarn build works:

1. Remove files (files inside src and .icons)
2. Copy icon folder into folder .icons
3. Clean all .icons using svgo (it is removing useless SVG tags)
4. Generate react component with SVG in folder src
5. Generate experimental styles for using SVG inside pseudo-elements (src/styles.css)
6. Generate font-family inside dist folder
7. Copy files from src into lib
8. Remove temporary files inside src
