Dead easy, Google Material Icons for Vue.

This package's aim is to get icons into your Vue.js project as quick as possible, at the cost of all the bells and whistles.

Specify the icon name as kebab or camel case (library: https://material.io/icons/)

That's it!

Bundling?

  • Simply outputs the svg
  • Bundles only the icons you need

First off install the vue3-ico package npm install vue3-ico --save-dev

Configure webpack to support "tree-shaking" to remove dead code (and unused icons)

When using babel as your JS loader, make sure we're not compiling to commonjs modules by passing { modules: false } as an option.

presets: [ ['es2015', { modules: false }] ]

Also, you'll need to allow vue3-ico module to be parsed by your webpack JS loader to shake off unused icons. Commonly the whole node_modules folder is excluded from parsing so changing this line:

exclude: /node_modules/

to this, will continue to exclude all node modules except for vue3-ico:

exclude: /node_modules\/(?!(vue3-ico)\/).*/

Example of webpack.config.js with this "tree shaking" setup: https://github.com/paulcollett/vue-ico/blob/master/webpack-example.md

Now when building webpack with the production flag (webpack -p) only the used vue3-ico icons will be included in your final JS bundle. This also has the added benefits of allowing you to use ES6 modules (and tree-shaking) across your project

Bundling Usage

Import the icon name, prefixed with ico, in camelCase (library: https://material.io/icons/)

import {createApp} from 'vue'
import VueIco, {icoClose, icoKeyboardArrowDown} from 'vue3-ico'

const app = createApp(App)

app.use(VueIco, {
  "close": icoClose,
  "down": icoKeyboardArrowDown
});
<ul>
  <li><ico name="close"></ico></li>
  <li><ico name="down" size="18" color="#f00"></ico></li> <!-- red icon -->
</ul>

How to add an icon

import {icoWrapper} from 'vue3-ico';
const icoHomeTwoTone = (s, c) => icoWrapper('<path d="M19,11v9h-5v-6h-4v6H5v-9H3.6L12,3.4l8.4,7.6H19z" opacity=".3"></path><path d="M20,21h-7v-6h-2v6H4v-9H1l11-9.9L23,12h-3V21z M15,19h3v-8.8l-6-5.4l-6,5.4V19h3v-6h6V19z"></path>', s, c);

export {icoHomeTwoTone}

v 1.0.20 added new parameter viewBox

// google material icons
const icoMonitoring = (s, c, v) => icoWrapper('<path d="M120 936v-76l60-60v136h-60Zm165 0V700l60-60v296h-60Zm165 0V640l60 61v235h-60Zm165 0V701l60-60v295h-60Zm165 0V540l60-60v456h-60ZM120 700v-85l280-278 160 160 280-281v85L560 582 400 422 120 700Z"/>', s, c, v);
<ico name="graph" viewBox="0 96 960 960"></ico>

Need anything more?

We're aiming for simplicity with this package, that means, ready-to-go browser support and simplistic bundling. If you need more control and willing to get your hands dirty around your bundler, take a look at this comprehensive library:
