I am styling my react component with styled-components. I want an icon component that can be used in different places just by changing size, colour props etc. I also want to pass icons names as props for different places. I am succeeded to change the size and colour but don't know how to pass the icon name as per requirement.
Here is my generic icon component:
import React from "react";
import { ReactSVG } from "react-svg";
import styled, { css } from "styled-components";
import { FaUserTie } from 'react-icons/fa';
const StyledSVGIcon = styled(FaUserTie)`
svg {
fill: black;
${({ size }) =>
size &&
css`
width: ${size};
height: ${size};
`}
${({ transform }) =>
transform &&
css`
transform: ${transform};
`}
path {
${({ color }) =>
color &&
css`
fill: ${color};
`}
}
}
`;
const GenIcon = props => {
return (
<StyledSVGIcon
src={`/icons/${props.name}.svg`}
color={props.color}
size={props.size}
transform={props.transform}
/>
);
};
export default GenIcon;
And I want to use it like this:
<GenIcon
name="FaUserNurse"
color="red"
size="16px"
/>
But the GenIcon component is not working. please help me where I am doing wrong. the icon could be any kind like svg or any other react icon library.
Try this out, you're close:
import React from "react";
import { ReactSVG } from "react-svg";
import styled, { css } from "styled-components";
import { FaUserTie, FaDocker } from "react-icons/fa";
const IconStyler = styled.span`
color: ${(props) => props.color};
& svg {
${(props) =>
props.small &&
css`
width: 14px !important;
height: 14px !important;
`}
${(props) =>
props.med &&
css`
width: 20px !important;
height: 20px !important;
`}
${(props) =>
props.large &&
css`
width: 28px !important;
height: 28px !important;
`}
}
`;
const Icon = ({ children, ...props }) => {
return <IconStyler {...props}>{children}</IconStyler>;
};
const GenIcon = () => {
return (
<div>
<h5>Any Icon</h5>
<div>
<Icon color="blue" small>
<FaUserTie />
</Icon>
</div>
<div>
<Icon color="orange" large>
<FaDocker />
</Icon>
</div>
</div>
);
};
export default GenIcon;
