Installation

You must install the @ng-icons/core package, however you only need to install the iconset libraries you intend to use.

E.g:

npm i @ng-icons/core @ng-icons/heroicons ...

or

yarn add @ng-icons/core @ng-icons/heroicons ...

Usage

Import the NgIconsModule and register the icons you wish to use:

import { NgIconsModule } from '@ng-icons/core';
import { featherAirplay } from '@ng-icons/feather-icons';
import { heroUsers } from '@ng-icons/heroicons/outline';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    NgIconsModule.withIcons({ featherAirplay, heroUsers }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

You can register icons in multiple modules, this allows icons to be lazy loaded in child modules.

You can then use the icon in your templates:

<ng-icon name="featherAirplay"></ng-icon>
Name Type Description
size string Define the size of the icon. This defaults to the current font size.
color string Define the color of the icon. This defaults to the current text color.
strokeWidth string | number Define the stroke-width of the icon. This only works on iconsets that use strokes.

Standalone Components

As of version 18.0.0 Ng Icons nows supports standalone components. You can import icons using the provideIcons function which can be placed anywhere you can register providers. The optimal location would be in the @Component providers array.

You can also import the component directly by importing NgIconComponent or the NG_ICON_DIRECTIVES constant.

import { NgIconComponent, provideIcons } from '@ng-icons/core';
import { featherAirplay } from '@ng-icons/feather-icons';
import { heroUsers } from '@ng-icons/heroicons/outline';

@Component({
  standalone: true,
  imports: [NgIconComponent],
  providers: [provideIcons({ featherAirplay, heroUsers })],
})
export class AppComponent {}

Global Configuration

You can configure the default size of icons by providing a NgIconsConfig object to the provideNgIconsConfig:

NgModule

import { NgIconsModule, provideNgIconsConfig } from '@ng-icons/core';
import { featherAirplay } from '@ng-icons/feather-icons';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    NgIconsModule.withIcons({ featherAirplay, heroUsers }),
  ],
  providers: [
    provideNgIconsConfig({
      size: '1.5em',
      color: 'red',
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

Standalone

import {
  NgIconComponent,
  provideIcons,
  provideNgIconsConfig,
} from '@ng-icons/core';

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
  providers: [
    provideNgIconsConfig({
      size: '1.5em',
    }),
  ],
});

Dynamically Loading Icons

The most common way to load icons is simply by registering them individually, however you may want to load icons lazily from a URL, or generate an SVG programatically on the fly. This can be achived using an icon loader. Icon loaders are a function that receives the name of the requested icon, and can return an Observable<string>, Promise<string> or a string containing the SVG to render. Within this function you can do whatever you need to retrieve an icon.

The function is also run within the injection context, this allows you to inject dependencies as you need such as the HttpClient.

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
  providers: [
    provideNgIconLoader(name => {
      const http = inject(HttpClient);
      return http.get(`/assets/icons/${name}.svg`);
    }),
  ],
});

Additionally add caching to your loader to prevent multiple requests for the same icon.

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
  providers: [
    provideNgIconLoader(name => {...}, withCaching()),
  ],
});
