Iconify Transpile

A powerful tool for converting SVG icons to Iconify JSON format with advanced features like icon cleanup and optimization.

Features

• Convert SVG icons to Iconify JSON format
• Clean and optimize SVG files using @iconify/tools
• Configurable expected sizes and validation
• Multiple icon sets processing in a single run
• Custom prefixes for icon sets

Installation

# Install globally
npm install -g iconify-transpile

# Or run with npx
npx iconify-transpile

Usage

transpile-iconify --config=iconify.config.js

Options

• --config: Path to configuration file (default: 'iconify.config.json')

Configuration File

Create a JavaScript or JSON configuration file that defines your icon sets:

// iconify.config.js
module.exports = [
  {
    sourceDir: './path/to/icons',
    targetFile: './dist/icons.json',
    prefix: 'custom-icons',
    expectedSize: 24,
    iconSetInfo: {
      name: 'Custom Icon Set',
      author: {
        name: 'Your Name',
        url: 'https://example.com'
      },
      license: {
        title: 'MIT',
        url: 'https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT'
      }
    }
  },
  // You can add more icon sets here
];

Configuration Options

Each icon set configuration supports these properties:

• sourceDir: Directory containing SVG icon files
• targetFile: Output JSON file path
• prefix: Icon set prefix used in Iconify
• expectedSize (optional): Validates that icons have the expected dimensions
• iconSetInfo: Metadata about the icon set (name, author, license, etc.)

How It Works

1. The tool reads your configuration file
2. For each icon set in the configuration:
   • Imports SVG files from the specified directory
   • Cleans and optimizes SVG content
   • Validates dimensions if expectedSize is provided
   • Converts colors to currentColor for proper theming
   • Exports to Iconify JSON format

Output Format

The generated JSON files follow the Iconify JSON format:

{
  "prefix": "custom-icons",
  "icons": {
    "icon-name": {
      "body": "<path d=\"...\" fill=\"currentColor\"/>",
      "width": 24,
      "height": 24
    }
  }
}

Dependencies

• @iconify/tools: For SVG cleaning and optimization
• @iconify/types: For TypeScript type definitions
• cleye: For command-line argument parsing
