The Epic Stack uses SVG sprites for
optimal icon performance.
You'll find raw SVGs in the ./other/svg-icons
directory. These are then
compiled into a sprite using the
vite-plugin-icons-spritesheet
plugin which generates the app/components/ui/icons/sprite.svg
file and the
accompanying types.ts
file that allows Typescript to pick up the names of the
icons.
You can use Sly to add new icons from the command line.
To add the trash
, pencil-1
, and avatar
icons, run:
npx sly add @radix-ui/icons trash pencil-1 avatar
If you don't specify the icons, Sly will show an interactive list of all the
icons available in the @radix-ui/icons
collection and let you select the ones
you want to add.
Sly has been configured in the Epic Stack to automatically add the icons to the
./other/svg-icons
directory, so there are no extra steps to take. You can see
the configuration in the ./other/sly/sly.json
file.
The SVGs used by default in the Epic Stack come from
icons.radix-ui.com. You can download additional
SVG icons from there, or provide your own. Once you've added new files in the
directory, run npm run build
and you can then use the Icon
component to
render it. The icon
prop is the name of the file without the .svg
extension.
We recommend using kebab-case
filenames rather than PascalCase
to avoid
casing issues with different operating systems.
By default, all the icons will have a height and width of 1em
so they should
match the font-size of the text they're next to. You can also customize the size
using the size
prop.
