Installation
npm i phosphor-icons-solidUsage
<script>
import IconHeartRegular from "phosphor-icons-solid/IconHeartRegular"
import IconHeartBreakBold from "phosphor-icons-solid/IconHeartBreakBold"
</script>
<IconHeartRegular />
<IconHeartBreakBold />Props
Only the class prop is available for styling.
class
<IconHeartRegular class="icon-heart-regular" />Default Styles
Here are the default attributes applied to all SVG elements.
width="1em"
height="1em"
fill="currentColor"
pointer-events="none"
display="inline-block"width="1em" and height="1em"
The em unit in CSS is relative to the element's font-size (e.g., 2em is
twice the size of the current font size).
fill="currentColor"
Setting the
fill
property to
currentColor
inherits its value from the
color property.
pointer-events="none"
Since icons are purely visual, there's no need to make them interactive. The
pointer-events: none
property prevents any pointer interactions.
display="inline-block"
This helps in various styling scenarios.
Default Attributes
Here are the default attributes applied to all SVG elements.
data-phosphor-icon="icon-name"
This attribute is used to flip/mirror icons when their default orientation isn't suitable for RTL languages.
[dir="rtl"] [data-phosphor-icon="heart"] {
transform: scaleX(-1);
}aria-hidden="true"
Icons are visual elements, so they don't need to be visible to screen readers.
FAQ
Why was this built?
- TypeScript support.
- Accessibility considerations.
- Improved performance and developer experience.
Why is the syntax considered ugly?
Consider the following two syntaxes:
Pretty syntax (invalid):
<script>
import { Heart, HeartBreak } from "phosphor-icons-solid"
</script>
<Heart />
<HeartBreak weight="bold" />Ugly syntax:
<script>
import IconHeartRegular from "phosphor-icons-solid/IconHeartRegular"
import IconHeartBreakBold from "phosphor-icons-solid/IconHeartBreakBold"
</script>
<IconHeartRegular />
<IconHeartBreakBold />The first syntax may seem appealing, but it causes issues! Phosphor Icons includes a total of 9,072 icons; importing just one icon (using the first syntax) results in all icons being imported. This can significantly slow down your site's performance and loading time during development. To address this, this library restricts you to importing icons individually.
What about combining all weights into a single component? This can cause a similar issue, affecting both development and production environments! Sometimes, tooling can remove unnecessary parts at build time, but this is not always guaranteed.
What about the Icon prefix? The Icon prefix helps avoid naming collisions
with other components.
