# Icons and SVG Illustrations
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
2021-01-03 14:25:43 +05:30
We manage our own icon and illustration library in the [`gitlab-svgs`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-svgs)
repository. This repository is published on [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@gitlab/svgs),
and is managed as a dependency with yarn. You can browse all available
[icons and illustrations](https://gitlab-org.gitlab.io/gitlab-svgs). To upgrade
to a new version run `yarn upgrade @gitlab/svgs`.

## Icons
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
We are using SVG Icons in GitLab with a SVG Sprite.
This means the icons are only loaded once, and are referenced through an ID.
The sprite SVG is located under `/assets/icons.svg`.
Our goal is to replace one by one all inline SVG Icons (as those currently bloat the HTML) and also all Font Awesome icons.

### Usage in HAML/Rails
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
To use a sprite Icon in HAML or Rails we use a specific helper function :
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
```ruby
sprite_icon(icon_name, size: nil, css_class: '')
```
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
2021-01-03 14:25:43 +05:30
- **icon_name**: Use the icon_name for the SVG sprite in the list of
([GitLab SVGs](https://gitlab-org.gitlab.io/gitlab-svgs)).
- **size (optional)**: Use one of the following sizes : 16, 24, 32, 48, 72 (this
will be translated into a `s16` class)
- **css_class (optional)**: If you want to add additional CSS classes.
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
**Example**
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
```haml
= sprite_icon('issues', size: 72, css_class: 'icon-danger')
```
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
**Output from example above**
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
```html
<svg class="s72 icon-danger">
<use xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="/assets/icons.svg#issues"></use>
</svg>
```
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
### Usage in Vue
2020-05-24 23:13:21 +05:30
[GitLab UI](https://gitlab-org.gitlab.io/gitlab-ui/), our components library, provides a component to display sprite icons.
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
Sample usage :
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
```html
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
<script>
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
import { GlIcon } from "@gitlab/ui";
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
export default {
components: {
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
GlIcon,
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
},
};
<script>
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
<template>
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
<gl-icon
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
name="issues"
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
:size="24"
2020-07-28 23:09:34 +05:30
class="class-name"
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
/>
</template>
```
2021-01-03 14:25:43 +05:30
- **name**: Name of the icon of the SVG sprite, as listed in the
([GitLab SVG Previewer](https://gitlab-org.gitlab.io/gitlab-svgs)).
- **size: (optional)** Number value for the size which is then mapped to a
specific CSS class (Available sizes: 8, 12, 16, 18, 24, 32, 48, 72 are mapped
to `sXX` CSS classes)
- **class (optional)**: Additional CSS classes to add to the SVG tag.
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
### Usage in HTML/JS
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
Please use the following function inside JS to render an icon:
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
`gl.utils.spriteIcon(iconName)`
2020-10-24 23:57:45 +05:30
## Loading icon
### Usage in HAML/Rails
2021-01-29 00:20:46 +05:30
DANGER: **Warning:**
2020-10-24 23:57:45 +05:30
Do not use the `spinner` or `icon('spinner spin')` rails helpers to insert
loading icons. These helpers rely on the Font Awesome icon library which is
deprecated.
To insert a loading spinner in HAML or Rails use the `loading_icon` helper:
```haml
= loading_icon
```
You can include one or more of the following properties with the `loading_icon` helper, as demonstrated
by the examples that follow:
- `container` (optional): wraps the loading icon in a container, which centers the loading icon using the `text-center` CSS property.
- `color` (optional): either `orange` (default), `light`, or `dark`.
- `size` (optional): either `sm` (default), `md`, `lg`, or `xl`.
- `css_class` (optional): defaults to an empty string, but can be useful for utility classes to fine-tune alignment or spacing.
**Example 1:**
The following HAML expression generates a loading icons markup and
centers the icon by wrapping it in a `gl-spinner-container` element.
```haml
= loading_icon(container: true)
```
**Output from example 1:**
```html
<div class="gl-spinner-container">
<span class="gl-spinner gl-spinner-orange gl-spinner-sm" aria-label="Loading"></span>
</div>
```
**Example 2:**
The following HAML expression generates a loading icons markup
with a custom size. It also appends a margin utility class.
```haml
= loading_icon(size: 'lg', css_class: 'gl-mr-2')
```
**Output from example 2:**
```html
<span class="gl-spinner gl-spinner-orange gl-spinner-lg gl-mr-2" aria-label="Loading"></span>
```
### Usage in Vue
The [GitLab UI](https://gitlab-org.gitlab.io/gitlab-ui/) components library provides a
`GlLoadingIcon` component. See the components
[storybook](https://gitlab-org.gitlab.io/gitlab-ui/?path=/story/base-loading-icon--default)
for more information about its usage.
**Example:**
The following code snippet demonstrates how to use `GlLoadingIcon` in
a Vue component.
```html
<script>
import { GlLoadingIcon } from "@gitlab/ui";
export default {
components: {
GlLoadingIcon,
},
};
<script>
<template>
<gl-loading-icon inline />
</template>
```

## SVG Illustrations
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
Please use from now on for any SVG based illustrations simple `img` tags to show an illustration by simply using either `image_tag` or `image_path` helpers.
Please use the class `svg-content` around it to ensure nice rendering.

### Usage in HAML/Rails

2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
**Example**
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
```haml

= image_tag 'illustrations/merge_requests.svg'
```

### Usage in Vue
2018-03-17 18:26:18 +05:30
2020-06-23 00:09:42 +05:30
To use an SVG illustrations in a template provide the path as a property and display it through a standard `img` tag.
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
Component:
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
```html
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
<script>
export default {
props: {
svgIllustrationPath: {
type: String,
required: true,
},
},
};
<script>
2020-03-13 15:44:24 +05:30
2018-11-08 19:23:39 +05:30
<template>
<img :src="svgIllustrationPath" />
</template>
```
