Add custom icons to Vue Unicons

#vue #icons #githunt #opensource

Vue Unicons is a 1000+ Pixel-perfect svg unicons as Vue components.

But if an icon is missing it's not a problem. You can add custom svg icons.

custom-icons.js

// Always use a prefix to avoid coincidence with existing icons.
export const myCustomIcon = {
  name: 'my-custom-icon',
  path: '<path d="M16.327 10.775a.312.312 0 0...</path>' // Copy everything inside the svg tag of the icon you want and past there
}

For correct positioning of svg icon please make sure that the icon to be added has viewBox="0 0 X X"

main.js

import Vue from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import Unicon from 'vue-unicons'
import { uniConstructor, uniCarWash } from 'vue-unicons/src/icons'
import { myCustomIcon } from './custom-icons'

Unicon.add([uniConstructor, uniCarWash, myCustomIcon])
Vue.use(Unicon)

new Vue({
  render: h => h(App)
}).$mount('#app')

App.vue

<template>
  <unicon name="constructor" fill="royalblue"></unicon>
  <unicon name="car-wash" fill="limegreen"></unicon>
  <unicon name="my-custom-icon" fill="royalblue" />
</template>
