Mithril icon builder

Converts SVG icons to Mithril elements.

Largely copied from material-ui/icon-builder and modified for Mithril.

This tool crawls icon repositories and generates a Mithril element for each SVG file.

Icon repositories

These repositories are crawled:

• google/material-design-icons
• zavoloklom/material-design-iconic-font
• Templarian/MaterialDesign
• Zondicons

Add your own SVGs

Add other SVGs in the custom folder and run:

npm run build-custom

Find the result in build/custom.

Working with multi color SVGs

If you are working with Adobe Illustrator, to preserve color styles in an SVG without getting CSS classname conflicts, follow these export steps:

• Use "Save As", NOT "Export"
• Choose SVG Profile 1.1
• Select Advanced Options, CSS Properties: "Style Attributes"

Using the icons

The built files are in es5 module format and can be used in es5 and es6 projects.

The Mithril elements can be used directly in the JavaScript template:

import stars from "google/action/stars";
 
m(".my-icon", stars);

Running the build

npm install
npm run build

Generated folders

Files are written to build:

• build/msvg - The generated templates
• build/svg - The original SVGs for easy reference

Build options

node build.js --help can be used to pull up options available for building.
