Draw a file icon with a a jpg extension. The default theme is greyscale.

const fileIcon = new FileIcon();
fileIcon.create('jpg').then((icon) => {
  document.body.append(icon);
});

the create method returns a Promise that resolves to an img element.

Themes

To use a color theme, you can pass a theme name to the FileIcon constructor

const fileIcon = new FileIcon({ theme: 'purple' });

or use the setColorTheme method.

fileIcon.setColorTheme('purple');

Currently there are the following themes supported:

Name	Solid	Outline (add '-outline')
greyscale (default)
black
white
red
purple
blue
lightBlue
green
yellow
orange

Colors

To add your own custom colors, you can pass a color object into the FileIcon constructor or use the setColors method.

const colors = {
  bg: 'transparent',
  iconBg: 'coral',
  textBg: 'rgba(250,250,250,0.2)',
  text: '#FFF',
  outline: 'white',
};
const fileIcon = new FileIcon({ colors: colors });

Note that you can use Hexcolor, a color name or an rgb value

This will produce a file icon like so:
