Visual Studio Code - Codicons
This tool takes the Visual Studio Code icons and converts them into an font using the icon-font-generator.
How to use
You can use the npm package and install into your project via npm i vscode-codicons or you can copy the icon files from the dist folder.
If you're building a VS Code extension, see this webview extension sample.
Building Locally
All icons are stored under src > icons. The mappings of the class names and unicode characters are stored in src/template/mapping.json as well as the default styles under src/template/styles.hbs.
Install dependencies
After cloning this repo, install dependencies by running:
npm install
Build
npm run build
Output will be exported to a dist folder. We track this folder so that we can see the updated changes to the unicode characters.
Update packages
You can run npm outdated to see if there are any package updates. To update packages, run:
npm update
Add icons
Export your icons (svg) to the src/icons folder and add an entry into src/template/mapping.json with a new codepoint key (this gets converted into a unicode key) and run the the build command. The build command will also remove any subfolders in the icons folder to keep the folder structure consistent.
Next, update the codicons file on the vscode repository, ensuring that the unicode characters are the same (you reference the css file).
Using in VS Code
When needing to reference an icon in the Visual Studio Code source code, simply create a dom element/container that contains codicon and the icon name like:
<div class='codicon codicon-add'></div>
It's recommended to use a single dom element for each icon and not to add children elements to it.
