customIconPack Map<String, IconData> null The customized icons that can be used instead.

IconPackMode

You can select the wished IconPacks through the argument: iconPackModes. This defaults to const <IconPack>[IconPack.material]. For further usage have a look in the example.

You own Icons

If you don't want to use the default IconPacks, you can also provide your own IconPack by creating a Map<String, IconData> with the names of your icons and the specific IconData. Just pass it to customIconPack and set the iconPackMode: IconPack.custom.

Result of IconPicker and further usage (saving and retreiving)

The picker is returning (as shown in the example method _pickIcon() underneeth) an IconData which is nothing else then this class for example:

  IconData(0xe3af, fontFamily: 'MaterialIcons');    // Icons.camera

that's representing an Material icon.

So if you plan to save the picked icon anywhere (sqflite, firebase, etc.), you can use the serialization methods:

  1. Call this to convert the picked IconData to a Map:

IconData to Map

  serializeIcon(iconData)
  1. You can retreive the IconData by passing the mapped IconData:

Map to IconData

  deserializeIcon(map)

    IconData? icon = await FlutterIconPicker.showIconPicker(context,
        iconPackModes: [IconPack.cupertino]);

    _icon = Icon(icon);
    setState(() {});

    debugPrint('Picked Icon:  $icon');
