🔌 Installation

``sh
npm install sanity-plugin-icon-manager
`

🧑‍💻 Usage

Add it as a plugin in sanity.config.ts (or .js):

`ts
import {defineConfig} from 'sanity'
import {IconManager} from 'sanity-plugin-icon-manager'

export default defineConfig({
//...
plugins: [
IconManager({
// your optional configuration here
}),
],
// ...
})
`

The plugin introduces one new object type called: icon.manager. You can define a new field with this type inside your documents.

`ts
import {defineField, defineType} from 'sanity'

const SampleDocument = defineType({
type: 'document',
name: 'sampleDocument',
title: 'Sample Document',
fields: [
// ...
defineField({
type: 'icon.manager',
name: 'icon',
title: 'Icon',
}),
// ...
],
})

export default SampleDocument
`

⚙️ Plugin Configuration

This is the main configuration of the plugin. The available options are:

`ts
{
// This option allows you to have a simplified experience to search icons
// the all value enable the UI for everyone
// the array of string lets you enable the UI only for specific user roles. You can use the ! operator to do the opposite.
// example 1:
// keepItSimpleFor: ['role-a'] -> simple UI visible for users with only the role 'role-a'
// example 2:
// keepItSimpleFor: ['role-a', 'role-b'] -> simple UI visible for users with only 'role-a' or 'role-b' or both.
// example 3:
// keepItSimpleFor: ['!administrator'] -> simple UI visible for everyone except the administrator.
keepItSimpleFor: 'all' | string[],

defaults?: {
// This option allows you to set a default width and height for newly saved icons. If not set, the size defaults to 20x20, as it was before v1.5.0.
size?: { width: number, height: number }
// When set to true, this option allows you to automatically store the inline version of the selected icon. This means that the 'Inline Svg' checkbox will be preselected by default when you choose a new icon.
inlineSvg?: boolean
}

// This option allows you to hide the configuration modal, when you select and icon, you can't configure it anymore.
// the all value hide the configuration for everyone
// the array of string lets you hide the modal only for specific user roles. You can use the ! operator to do the opposite (with the array, admin role has always access to the modal).
// example 1:
// hideFor: ['role-a'] -> modal hidden for users with only the role 'role-a'
// example 2:
// hideFor: ['role-a', 'role-b'] -> modal hidden for users with only 'role-a' or 'role-b' or both.
// example 3:
// hideFor: ['!administrator'] -> modal hidden for everyone except the administrator.
configurationDialog?: {
hideFor?: 'all' | string[]
}

// An array of strings containing a subset of collection IDs (e.g., ['ant-design', 'material-']). This can be used when you want to limit access to only specific collections. It utilizes the 'prefixes' query parameter available on the Iconify API. More information can be found here (https://iconify.design/docs/api/collections.html).
availableCollections?: string[]

// This is the endpoint if you decide to host your icon sets on your own server. For more details, see the dedicated session below
customEndpoint?: string

// an optional array of custom color palette
customPalette?: [
{
hex: string, // the hex code of your custom color
title?: string // an optional title for you custom color used as a tooltip inside the color picker.
},
// other colors
]

// DEPRECATED since 2.1.0
// Use defaults.size instead
defaultSize?: { width: number, height: number }

// DEPRECATED since 2.1.0
// Use defaults.inlineSvg instead
inlineSvg?: boolean
}
`

··· Context menu

Starting from version 2, you have access to a context menu (clicking on the ···) where you can see some information about the selected icon. You have a few options to download or copy the icon to the clipboard.

😌 Keep It Simple UI

Starting from version 2.2.0, you can simplify the experience using the keepItSimpleFor option. This setting changes the default UI, allowing you to select icons easily with no extra options—just a search input. After selecting an icon, use the context menu to access its information or clear the field. To change the icon, simply search for a new one. All other configuration options will continue to work, except for configurationDialog and customPalette.

👀 Document List Preview

The plugin provides a component that you can use as a media preview of your icon within your document list.\
You can pass a second argument (a true boolean value) to the function if you want to see always the original icon.

`ts
import {defineField, defineType} from 'sanity'
import {mediaPreview} from 'sanity-plugin-icon-manager'

const SampleDocument = defineType({
type: 'document',
name: 'sampleDocument',
title: 'Sample Document',
preview: {
select: {
// ...
icon: 'icon'
},
prepare({icon, ...rest}) {
return {
// ...rest
media: mediaPreview(icon)
}
}
}
fields: [
// ...
defineField({
type: 'icon.manager',
name: 'icon',
title: 'Icon',
}),
// ...
],
})

export default SampleDocument
`

🧩 Add Icons to Portable Text

You can easily use the plugin inside your Portable Text, both for inline or block components. The preview will shows the rendered icon and its related name.

`ts
import {defineField, defineType} from 'sanity'

const SampleDocument = defineType({
type: 'document',
name: 'sampleDocument',
title: 'Sample Document',
fields: [
// ...
defineField({
name: 'body',
type: 'array',
title: 'Body',
of: [
{
type: 'block',
of: [{type: 'icon.manager', title: 'Inline Icon'}],
},
{
type: 'icon.manager',
title: 'Block Icon',
},
],
}),
// ...
],
})

export default SampleDocument
`

🎨 Custom Color Palette

You can pass a list of custom colors to fill your monochrome icons with your brand identity.
You need to provide a list of valid hex colors (with an optional title).\
As a result, you will have access to these colors within the color picker when customizing a monochrome icon.

`ts
import {defineConfig} from 'sanity'
import {IconManager} from 'sanity-plugin-icon-manager'

export default defineConfig({
//...
plugins: [
IconManager({
customPalette: [
{
hex: '#AB87FF',
title: 'Tropical Indigo',
},
{
hex: '#B4E1FF',
title: 'Uranian Blue',
},
{
hex: '#F49E4C',
title: 'Sandy brown',
},
{
hex: '#2D728F',
title: 'Cerulean',
},
{
hex: '#C14953',
title: 'Bittersweet shimmer',
},
{
hex: '#AEA4BF',
title: 'Rose quartz',
},
{
hex: '#02C39A',
title: 'Mint',
},
],
}),
],
// ...
})
`

🎭 Custom Diff View

The plugin includes a custom diff component that allows you to view differences in a more human-readable way.
You can have three different custom diff views:

$3

$3

$3

In any of the above cases you can always see the list of all the changes clicking on the Show details CTA.

🗂️ Collections Tab

Starting from v.1.2.0, you can browse icons through all available collections.\
The search dialog now offers a 'Tabs view' where you can choose to search for your icons as before or via the new 'Collections' tab. Here, you can scroll through all the available collections, select one, and choose an icon from the available options within the selected collection.

🗺️ Localization

Levereging the Studio UI Localization feature, starting from version 2, it is possible to localize the microcopy used by the plugin.
Here is the default English bundle:

If you want to add a new language or override one, you need to create a custom bundle with your desired locale. Use icon.manager as the namespace and add it to your sanity.config file under the i18n.bundles attribute. Here is an example:

`ts
import {defineLocaleResourceBundle} from 'sanity'

const myEnglishOverride = defineLocaleResourceBundle({
// make sure the locale language code corresponds to the one you want to override
locale: 'en-US',
namespace: 'icon.manager',
resources: {
'add.icon.label': 'Select your icon',,
},
})

export default defineConfig({
// ...
i18n: {
bundles: [myEnglishOverride]
}
})
`

{} JSON Dialog

Starting from version 2, you can view the data stored in Sanity through a dedicated dialog. It is possible to copy the JSON to the clipboard.

🌎 Basic Hosting

The Iconify project allows you to host the API on your server. You can learn more about it in their official documentation.\
This plugin offers a basic customization through the customEndpoint option. If you pass a valid URL, hosting a custom Iconify implementation, the plugin will use it as the base path for all the interactions (searching and rendering).

`ts
import {defineConfig} from 'sanity'
import {IconManager} from 'sanity-plugin-icon-manager'

export default defineConfig({
//...
plugins: [
IconManager({
customEndpoint: 'https://my.iconify.project.com',
}),
],
// ...
})
`

🗃️ Data model

`ts
{
_type: 'icon.manager',

🎬 How to render the icon on your website

Regardless of how you retrieve data from Sanity, you can render the icon in different ways.\
You can use the inline option to render the SVG directly. Alternatively, Iconify provides various rendering possibilities:

- React
- Vue
- Svelte
- More...

Here an example with the React package:

`ts
// Let's assume that we have retrieved the following data from Sanity

{
icon: 'bi:check2-circle',
metadata: {
flip: 'horizontal',
size: {
width: 20,
height: 20,
},
rotate: 0,
color: {
hex: '#6aceeb'
}
}
}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

import {Icon} from '@iconify/react'

const MyComponent = (props) => {
const {icon, metadata: {flip, rotate, size, color} } = props
return (
icon={icon}
flip={flip}
rotate={rotate}
width={size.width}
height={size.height}
style={{color: color.hex}}
/>
)
}
