Inline SVG for rendering custom icons

If you need to render an SVG icon that is not part of the default set of icons, it's possible to render it using a special component <InlineSvg>.

The component is exported as a separate entry point:

import InlineSvg from '@commercetools-uikit/icons/inline-svg';

Usage

import InlineSvg from '@commercetools-uikit/icons/inline-svg';

const svg = `<svg><path ... /></svg>`;

const App = () => <InlineSvg data={svg} color="primary" size="medium" />;

The component accepts the same props as the <*Icon> components color and size. Additionally it requires the data prop, which is the actual SVG content.

XSS protection

The data passed to the component is run through a DOM sanitizer to prevent unwanted XSS injections.

Where to use

This component can be used whenever the icon has to be rendered dynamically on runtime. For example in the Merchant Center this can be the case for the navigation menu icons, etc.

Leading Icon

The leading icon is a an eye-catching visual element that should be used when an additional visual prominence is needed for a content section in the UI. The different colours in combination with the icons can be utilised to create certain categorisation of the elements in the UI.

The component is exported as a separate entry point:

import LeadingIcon from '@commercetools-uikit/icons/leading-icon';
