@planet/icons

A planet icon library for use in React applications. Import and render SVG icons as react components.

To see all the icons rendered, Check out this hosted listing

Install

npm install @planet/icons

Usage

import React from 'react';
import CheckIcon from '@planet/icons/Check';

const App = () => (
  <div>
    <CheckIcon />
  </div>
);

Development

1. npm install

2. npm start - starts up the dev server (the console output will tell you what port it's running on)

3. Add your svg icon to src

4. Edit your icon to remove all unnecessary svg tags (see existing icons for examples)

5. Run npm run prepare

6. Add your icon to the doc/main.js file (this gets automatically published)

7. Make sure the icon looks as expected in the browser

Design

Artwork for icons is located in the Explorer Sketch file here. You can find them on the page called Icons. But really, they are all symbols that you can find on the Symbols page. To add a new icon, copy an existing icon and follow the pattern: symbol named icons/icon-name, directory named icons/icon-name, ``🎨 Color` layer so we can use Sketch symbols for icon colors in prototypes, 'Shape' layer (this is the actual icon), and a 'bound' layer that is the 24px x 24px background for the SVG output. The short of it is that you have to add a new shape, make its' longest side 20px, center it in the bounding box and voilà.

When you export an icon as an SVG from Sketch, you have to remove some cruft. See the before and after below for details.

This is what we get from Sketch when exporting SVG:

Basically you need to strip the <g>...</g>, the <defs></defs> but not what's in them (i.e. the <path></path>), the id of the path, and the width and height in the <svg>.

Good to go!
