mime-icon-generator

DEMO: https://erikyo.github.io/mime-icon-generator/

Create easily all the icons you need in supersharp SVG format!

Configuration is very fast ... in the $icon-list array you have to enter some parameters like file extension, color (if you want a custom tone), and shape... icons will be automatically generated and you recall them easily in your site or in your app using the class .mime-icon.ico-$fileextension.

All svg icons are merged into a single css sheet and this allows for a very lightweight file: ~450 icon gzipped size is only 13kb! less than one 256x256 png icon.

INSTALLATION

git clone https://github.com/erikyo/mime-icon-generator.git && cd mime-icon-generator && npm install

gulp watch - sass watch (witj sourcemap and autoprefixer)

gulp finalize - (default) like gulp watch but the generated files are moved to the dist folder. a gzipped version of the minified one is also created)

USAGE

1. Default mixin

There are two ways to make a way to make an icon... the first is with the mixin.

Its basic form is this "@include do-icon(**$color**)".

You can specify a color that will be assigned to the icon if no the default color is used (in the Config Section of the scss sheet)

.ico-myico .ico:after {
      @include do-icon($color);
}

You can recall your newly generated icon whit this code

<div class="mime-icon">
  <div class="ico-myico"></div>
</div>

2. Mass generated icons with icon font

But to generate many icons at once? I prepared a @for loop that loops all the items in the $icon-list:

$icon-list:
...
(abc,  "", $music),
...;

• The first argument used for the class (in the example will be .mime-ico.ico-application and .mime-ico.ico-abc). it's also used for the filetype inside the icon
• The second argument is optional: if it is not passed (or is not a color) will be used a color from the array called $icon-colors https://github.com/erikyo/mime-icon-generator/blob/master/scss/generator-colors.scss
• The third argument is the icon ascii. You can pass one of the variables of "scss/generator-vars.scss" https://github.com/erikyo/mime-icon-generator/blob/master/scss/generator-vars.scss. Remember to load the font fonts you like and edit this set of variables that will be very convenient to you
