Create owned Iconset

Setup​

Create by generator​

We have a yeoman generator template to setup the iconset. Run yeoman svgr-iconkit and fill-in the some basic information, all the default setup will be ready for you.

After repositories ready, just put your svg icon files under ROOT/assets/regular and run npm run build in termainl. The iconset will be ready for use.

Create manually​

svgr-iconkit is providing sharable, typescript defined dataset for rendering actual context by framework & platform that needed.

To create an iconset, you need to prepare and setup below file structure:

  • assets - Original svg files (Optional)
    • {variantName} - The variant name of the iconset, default is regular
      • {iconName}.svg - The original svg data
  • icons - Indvidual icon data used for production use.
    • {variantName} - The variant name of the iconset, default is regular
      • {iconName}.js - The JS content of SVGData.
      • {iconName}.d.ts - Typescript defintion of SVGData.
  • src: Source code of elements with configuration
    • config.ts - Original configuration contains all information about the iconset
    • index.ts - React.js rendering version
    • native.ts - React Native rendering version
  • tsconfig.json - Typescript configuration
  • rollup.config.js - Rollup build configuration
  • package.json
  • index.js / index.d.ts - Used for React.js under webpack
  • index.native.js / index.native.d.ts - Used for ReactNative under metro bundler

SVG File Transformation​

When you try to create actual SVG data, you can use our command line tools to assist for the transformation.

You can install @svgr-iconkit/cli by npm / yarn globally and run below commands

# When your svg icons located at ROOT/assets folder
svgr-iconkit convert-data ./assets ./src/gen/icons/regular

All svg file will be transform as JavaScript / Typescript readable context

Don't use css style​

Assigning svg content with inline style and/or css class defintion would cause your icon not running as expected during render. Mark all your colorizable context with "currentColor" in fill or stroke attribute(s).

Configuration​

In configuration file src/config.ts, you need to provide below elements for create iconset:

nametypedescription
IconVariant-Typescript type defintion. The variant names. example: "regular"
variantNamesstring[] | IconVariant[]List of variant names
defaultVariantIconVariantThe default variant name
familyNamestringThe family name for rendering identification
IconNames-Typescript type defintion. The icon names, example: "heart"
iconNamesstring[] | IconNames[]Name list for all icons
colorizebooleanTo identify if iconset able to be coloring
