vue-octicons

A GitHub Octicons component for Vue.js.

Quick Note: This is my first NPM package, and I'm a PHP developer primarily. I needed this for an application and couldn't get Justineo/vue-octicon to work for me. I used the webpack template for VueJS, and while there are e2e and unit tests, these are currently just the sample tests that came with the template. Any suggestions and contributions are greatly appreciated.

TRY Justineo/vue-octicon FIRST!

Installation

NPM

 npm install vue-octicons

Loading the component

// Registers the component globally.
Vue.component('octicon', require('vue-octicons/src/components/Octicon.vue'));

Using the component

The <octicon> component will output an <svg> tag. In order for an icon to appear you must include icon-name attribute. The icon name much match the symbol of an octicon.

By default the following attributes are set on the <svg> tag:

• version="1.1"
• aria-hidden="true"
• role="presentation"

By default the the following classes are added to the class attribute of the <svg> tag:

• octicon
• octicon-[icon name]

In an effort to keep the usage of octicons similar to the usage of FontAwesome icons the height, width and viewBox attributes are calculated based on the container's font size.

The viewBox attribute is set to '0 0 svg-width svg-height'. The svg-width and height are the dimensions of the icon within the svg path.

The height attribute is set to the font-height of the <svg>.

The width attribute is calculated multiplying height by the aspect ratio of the icon.

    width = height * (svg-width / svg-height);
