Use any icon from Iconify

npm version npm downloads

preview

Install

npm i @egoist/tailwindcss-icons -D

Usage

In your tailwind.config.js:

const { iconsPlugin, getIconCollections } = require("@egoist/tailwindcss-icons")

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    iconsPlugin({
      // Select the icon collections you want to use
      // You can also ignore this option to automatically discover all individual icon packages you have installed
      // If you install @iconify/json, you should explicitly specify the collections you want to use, like this:
      collections: getIconCollections(["mdi", "lucide"]),
      // If you want to use all icons from @iconify/json, you can do this:
      // collections: getIconCollections("all"),
      // and the more recommended way is to use `dynamicIconsPlugin`, see below.
    }),
  ],
}

You also need to install @iconify/json (full icon collections, 50MB) or @iconify-json/{collection_name} (individual icon package):

# install every icon:
npm i @iconify/json -D

# or install individual packages like this:
npm i @iconify-json/mdi @iconify-json/lucide -D

Then you can use the icons in your HTML:

<!-- pattern: i-{collection_name}-{icon_name} -->
<span class="i-mdi-home"></span>

Search the icon you want to use here: https://icones.js.org

Tip

To get the full list of icon names as typescript type, you can refer to this issue.

Plugin Options

Option Type Default Description
prefix string i Class prefix for matching icon rules
scale number 1 Scale relative to the current font size
strokeWidth number undefined Stroke width for icons (this may not work for all icons)
extraProperties Record<string, string> {} Extra CSS properties applied to the generated CSS.
collectionNamesAlias [key in CollectionNames]?: string {} Alias to customize collection names.

Custom Icons

You can also use custom icons with this plugin, for example:

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    iconsPlugin({
      collections: {
        foo: {
          icons: {
            "arrow-left": {
              // svg body
              body: '<path d="M10 19l-7-7m0 0l7-7m-7 7h18"/>',
              // svg width and height, optional
              width: 24,
              height: 24,
            },
          },
        },
      },
    }),
  ],
}

Then you can use this custom icon as class name: i-foo-arrow-left.

Tip

To read custom icons from directory, you can refer to Load svgs from filesystem

Generate Icon Dynamically

The idea is from @iconify/tailwind, thanks to the author of Iconify for the great work!

If you want to install @iconify/json and use whatever icon you want, you should add another plugin to your tailwind.config.js.

This is because we can not provide autocomplete for all icons from @iconify/json, it will make your editor slow.

const { iconsPlugin, dynamicIconsPlugin } = require("@egoist/tailwindcss-icons")

module.exports = {
  plugins: [iconsPlugin(), dynamicIconsPlugin()],
}

Then you can use icons dynamically like <span class="i-[mdi-light--home]"></span>.
