Usage

Install beautifulsoup4 using pip3

pip3 install beautifulsoup4

Run icon2enum using python3

python3 build.py

You will be presented with three options:

Select one or more options:
f. Download fonts
g. Generate language specific file
h. Output hex codepoints

Selecting any of the three will have the same set of questions:

Specify version of data set:
(Latest, master, 7.1.96, and etc.)
master 
# Only the master branch works for all options.
# Picking versions is only available for the "Download (F)onts" option.

Specify the language to be generated:
(swift, java, kotlin, c++, go, and etc.)
# Required. This is asked only when "(G)enerate language files" is selected.

Filter tags, separated by commas:
# Optional, examples: device, transportation, network
account # This will generate a file with icons tagged as 'account'

Filter authors, separated by commas:
# Optional, examples: google, templarian

You can find tags and authors to add to the filter on the Community Material Icons website:

Tags: https://pictogrammers.com/library/mdi/

Authors: https://pictogrammers.com/docs/contribute/contributors/

Output directory

The files are generated into the following folders:

build                                                   
├── fonts
│   ├─ mdi-7.1.96.ttf
│   ├─ mdi-master.ttf
├── hex
│   ├─ hex-master.json
├── lang
│   ├─ MDIcons+master.swift
├── source
    ├─ source.json

Using the MDIcons enum

After downloading the font and generating files with icon2enum, you can simply drag the files into your project and call them like so:

Swift

let headphoneIcon: String = MDIcons.headphones // variable is set to "\u{F02CB}"
let iconLabel: UILabel = UILabel()
iconLabel.font = UIFont("Material Design Icons", ...)
iconLabel.text = headphoneIcon

Kotlin

val headphoneIcon = MDIcons.valueOf("HEADPHONES")

C++

MDIcons icons;
std::string headphoneIcon = icons.headphones;

TypeScript

const headphoneIcon = MDIcons.Headphones
