react-i

A tiny (1 KB gzipped) <Icon /> Component for React(-like).

SVG is the best way for cross platform scalable vector graphics, also we can use react-i in react-native or react-android project.

DEMO

Compatibility

• IE8+
• React 0.14+

Usage

npm i react-i --save

import I from 'react-i'
 
<I icon='up' />
<I icon='up'>icon</I>
<I icon='up' fill='#f00' className='i-up'>icon</I>

Props

static propTypes = {

    PropTypes.string
  ]).isRequired,
  size: PropTypes.oneOfType([
    PropTypes.string,
    PropTypes.number
  ]),
  style: PropTypes.object,

How to create a icon

Consider for reduce size in the real world, there provides a simple way to create your iconset.

• First of all, open the tools/simple.sketch file in Sketch

  

  This is a template file, you may draw your vector icon by yourself, then export as svg type (If you want complete the step in AI or PS, notice that keep the canvas size 24x24)

• Open the svg file in editor, we will get the code like:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
  <svg width="24px" height="24px" viewBox="0 0 24 24" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:sketch="http://www.bohemiancoding.com/sketch/ns">
      <!-- Generator: Sketch 3.4 (15575) - http://www.bohemiancoding.com/sketch -->
      <title>24x24</title>
      <desc>Created with Sketch.</desc>
      <defs></defs>
      <g id="Page-1" stroke="none" stroke-width="1" fill="none" fill-rule="evenodd" sketch:type="MSPage">
          <g id="24x24" sketch:type="MSArtboardGroup" fill="#000000">
              <path d="M11.99,2 C6.47,2 2,6.48 2,12 C2,17.52 6.47,22 11.99,22 C17.52,22 22,17.52 22,12 C22,6.48 17.52,2 11.99,2 L11.99,2 Z M16.23,18 L12,15.45 L7.77,18 L8.89,13.19 L5.16,9.96 L10.08,9.54 L12,5 L13.92,9.53 L18.84,9.95 L15.11,13.18 L16.23,18 L16.23,18 Z" id="Shape" sketch:type="MSShapeGroup"></path>
          </g>
      </g>
  </svg>

  Don't case the redundant code, we have a tool (in ./tools folder) to convert it.

  run ./svg-icon origin.svg, output:

  export const Origin = () => <g><path d="M11.99 2C6.47 2 2 6.48 2 12s4.47 10 9.99 10C17.52 22 22 17.52 22 12S17.52 2 11.99 2zm4.24 16L12 15.45 7.77 18l1.12-4.81-3.73-3.23 4.92-.42L12 5l1.92 4.53 4.92.42-3.73 3.23L16.23 18z"/></g>

  Great, we hava a component named Origin.

• Use it in project

  Convert all svg file to a js file.

  ./svg-icon *.svg >> icons.js

  Then, we can use it with react-i.

  import React, { Component } from 'react'
  import ReactDOM, { render } from 'react-dom'
  import I from 'react-i'
  import {
    Origin
  } from './icons'
  
  const App = () => <div style={{color:'#38B8C1'}}>
    <I icon={Origin} />
  </div>
  
  render(
    <App />,
    document.getElementById('root')
  )
  

  A effective easy and cheap way to organizing and use your icons, right?

More Case

<div style={{color:'#38B8C1'}}>
  <I icon='up'><span>icon-left</span></I><br/>
  <I dir='right' icon='down'><span>icon-right</span></I><br/>
 
  <span style={{color: '#4B5E6E'}}><I icon='up'>Inherit Color</I></span><br/>
  <span style={{color: '#4B5E6E'}}><I style={{color: '#f00'}} icon='up'></I><span>Custom Color</span></span><br/>
 
  <I icon={MyIcon}>Custom Icon</I><br/>
  <I icon={MyIcon} style={{WebkitFilter: 'drop-shadow(3px 3px 2px rgba(0,0,0,.4))'}}>Support Shadow</I><br/>
  <I icon={MyIcon} size='40'>big icon</I><br/>
  <I icon={MyIcon} size='10em'>very big icon</I><br/>
  <I icon={MyIcon} size='12'>small icon</I><br/>
 
  <button style={{background: '#38B8C1', color: '#fff', border: 'none', borderRadius: '2px', 'paddingLeft': '5px', 'outline': 'none'}}><I icon='up' dir='right'>use in button</I></button>
</div>

Animation Svg example:

Notice that, React(v0.14.x) not support animateTransform yet, there is a temporary solution with dangerouslySetInnerHTML

const Spinner = () => <g>
  <path opacity=".25" d="M12,0 C5.372583,-4.05812251e-16 8.11624501e-16,5.372583 0,12 C-8.11624501e-16,18.627417 5.372583,24 12,24 C18.627417,24 24,18.627417 24,12 C24,5.372583 18.627417,4.05812251e-16 12,0 M12,3 C16.9705627,3.00000007 20.9999999,7.0294373 20.9999999,12 C20.9999999,16.9705627 16.9705627,20.9999999 12,21 C7.0294373,20.9999999 3.00000013,16.9705627 3.00000013,12 C3.00000013,7.0294373 7.0294373,3.00000007 12,3"/>

  </path>
