Attributes
| Name | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| type | null | This sets the size and viewbox to match the recommended size for the icon pack specified. |
| path | null | Required. An SVG path to render as an icon |
| size | 24 | The width and height of the SVG element |
| viewbox | "0 0 24 24" | The viewBox of the SVG element |
| flip | null | One of "horizontal", "vertical", or "both". Flips the icon in the specified direction(s). |
| rotate | 0deg | Rotates the icon by the specified value. Can be any valid CSS angle value. |
Styling
By default the icon will inherit the current font color of the container it is placed within. You can easily provide a specific color using an inline style on the element (style="color: red") or can target the tag as normal with CSS rules.
Accessibility
You should make use of aria attributes to improve accessibility for users that use screen reading technology. You can use aria-labelledby to create a link between an icon and its label. A descriptive aria-label can be used to allow screen readers to announce an icon if there is no visual label to accompany it.
