Several common ways to use icon in Vue

There are several ways to use icon in Vue, and here are some of them:

1. Use third-party UI libraries

Use third-party UI libraries such as ElementUI, Vuetify, etc., which provide a range of components and icons components.

2. Use vector icon library

Use vector icon libraries such as Font Awesome, Material Design Icons, etc. You can install the corresponding library and then introduce the corresponding icons in the Vue component.

3. Customize icon components

Custom icon component: If you want better control over the style and behavior of the icon, you can customize an icon component. For example, it can be implemented using SVG or font files.

Here is an example of using Font Awesome:

Install Font Awesome

npm install --save @fortawesome/fontawesome-free

Introduce icon library in

import { library } from '@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core'
import { faCoffee } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons'
import { FontAwesomeIcon } from '@fortawesome/vue-fontawesome'
 
(faCoffee)
 
('font-awesome-icon', FontAwesomeIcon)

Use in components

<template>
  <div>
    <font-awesome-icon :icon="['fas', 'coffee']" />
  </div>
</template>

Of course, there are more ways to use icon, and I will introduce two more:

4. Use CDN

If you only need to use a part of the icon, you can directly introduce the corresponding icon library through CDN, such as Font Awesome, Ionicons, etc. Used in Vue is the same as introduced in plain HTML.

<!-- exist  Introduced fontawesome cdn -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.3/css/" />
<!-- exist组件中使用 -->
<template>
  <div>
    <i class="fas fa-coffee"></i>
  </div>
</template>

5. Use CSS Icon Library

In addition to the vector icon library, there are also some icon libraries implemented by pure CSS, such as IcoMoon, Feather Icons, etc. You can select a favorite icon library, then introduce the corresponding CSS file into the project, and add the corresponding class name to the component.

<!-- exist  Introduced icomoon of css document -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/npm/[email protected]/" />
<!-- exist组件中使用 -->
<template>
  <div>
    <i class="icon-heart"></i>
  </div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
  mounted() {
    // Add the icon-heart class name to the i tag    const heartIcon = ('.icon-heart')
    ('icon', 'icon-heart')
  }
}
</script>
