Icon-maker-loader NPM

Icon maker loader

Webpack loader to load svgs to font files and return the css classes to use that icon.

Installation

npm install icon-maker-loader
if you dont have a css and fonts (eot,svg,ttf,woff) loader, you can use css-loader and url-loader.

Usage

webpack configuration

const path = require('path');

module.exports = {
  ...
  module: {
    loaders: [
      {
        test: /\.svg$/,
        loader: 'icon-maker',
        include: path.join(__dirname, 'icons') // To avoid clash of svgs
      }, {
        test: /\.css$/, // Have to configure css loader for the generated css
        loader: 'css'
      }, {
        test: /\.(woff|eot|ttf|svg)$/, // Have to configure fonts loaders for the generated fonts
        loader: 'url',
        exclude: path.join(__dirname, 'icons') // To avoid clash of svgs
      }
    ]
  }
};

js example (react)

import React, { Component } from 'react';
import yinYan from './icons/yin-yan.svg'; // You get classes `default default-yin-yan`

export default MyComponent extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        Look at my icon!
        <span className={yinYan} />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

html example (requires html-loader)

<div>
  Look at my icon!
  <span class="${require('./icons/yin-yan.svg')}">
  </span>
</div>

parameters (query params to the loader)

fontFamily - (default icon-maker), can split your icons to multiple font families (for instance, better loading for different pages of your application).
files - (default eot,svg,ttf,woff), can decide which font files will be generated.
localCss - (default false) - will generate css with local scope to be used with css-loader (you can also convert all of your classes to local using css-loader?modules and then this option is not needed).
