Vue Material Design Icon Components

This library is a collection of Vue single-file components to render Material
Design Icons, sourced from the
MaterialDesign project.
It also includes some CSS that helps make the scaling of the icons a little
easier.

Getting started

1. Install the package

    yarn add vue-material-design-icons
   

   OR

    npm i vue-material-design-icons
   

2. Import the icon, and declare it as a local component:

    import MenuIcon from 'vue-material-design-icons/Menu.vue';
   
   components: {
     MenuIcon;
   }
   

   OR

   Declare it as a global component:

    import MenuIcon from 'vue-material-design-icons/Menu.vue';
   
   Vue.component('menu-icon', MenuIcon);
   

   Note Icon files are pascal cased, e.g. CheckboxMarkedCircle.vue, and
   their default name has Icon appended e.g. CheckboxMarkedCircleIcon.

3. Then use it in your template code!

    <menu-icon />
   

4. Optional Add the included stylesheet. This few lines of CSS will cause
   the icons to scale with any surrounding text, which can be helpful when you
   primarily style with CSS. Note that if you intend to handle sizing with the
   size prop, you probably don't want to use this as it may conflict.

    import 'vue-material-design-icons/styles.css';
   

Props

• title - This changes the hover tooltip as well as the title shown to screen
  readers. For accessibility purposes, if a title is not provided, then the
  icon is hidden from screen readers. This is to force developers to use
  meaningful titles for their icon usage.

  Example:

   <android-icon title="this is an icon!" />
  

• fillColor - This property allows you to set the fill colour of an icon via
  JS instead of requiring CSS changes. Note that any CSS values, such as
  fill: currentColor; provided by the optional CSS file, may override colours
  set with this prop.

  Example:

   <android-icon fillColor="#FF0000" />
  

• size - This property overrides the width and height attributes on the
  SVG. The default is 24.

  Example:

   <android-icon :size="48" />
  

Icons

A list of the icons can be found at the
Material Design Icons website. The icons packaged here are pascal cased
versions of the names displayed on the website, to match the
Vue Style Guide. For example, the icon
named ultra-high-definition would be imported as
"vue-material-design-icons/UltraHighDefinition.vue".

Tips

• Use resolve in your Webpack config to clean up the imports:

   resolve: {
    alias : {
      "icons": path.resolve(__dirname, "node_modules/vue-material-design-icons")
    },
    extensions: [
      ".vue"
    ]
  }
  

  This will give you much shorter and more readable imports, like
  import Android from "icons/Android", rather than
  import Android from "vue-material-design-icons/Android.vue". Much better!

• If you want custom sizing, add your own css to adjust the height and width of the icons

   .material-design-icon.icon-2x {
    height: 2em;
    width: 2em;
  }
  
  .material-design-icon.icon-2x > .material-design-icon__svg {
    height: 2em;
    width: 2em;
  }
  

  Then add your size class

   <fullscreen-icon class="icon-2x" />
  

  While I recommend using CSS for styling, you can also pass in a size prop,
  detailed in the Props section above.
