[ux-icons] allow multi-set search from the CLI

[tacman]

Since I can search from the UI for an icon without specifying a set, I'd like to do the same from the CLI.

Description:
  Search icons and icon sets from ux.symfony.com

Usage:
  ux:icons:search <prefix> [<name>]

Arguments:
  prefix                Prefix or name of the icon set (ex: bootstrap, fa, tabler)
  name                  Name of the icon (leave empty to search for sets)

That is

bin/console ux:icons:search * map

Would do the search across all icon sets.

In a future version, the icon set could be the second argument or an option.

I don't think bin/console ux:icons:search * map will works due to the wildcard character.

What about only bin/console ux:icons:search map?

[tacman]

or

bin/console ux:icons:search map --set=tabler

[smnandre]

I’m sorry how would the last one differ from the current behaviour ?

[smnandre]

More generally, not that I am against, but what would be the use case ?

On the website, you chose by looking at the icons, here how would you decide to use one of the various icons ?

This is the command to search icons in the set

[tacman]

I don't know the set, I just know that I'm looking for a github icon, or a drink icon, whatever.

  bin/console ux:icons:search github

Just like the UI

[smnandre]

But (again, asking to understand here) what will you do with a list of icons as result?

foo:github       bar:github       baz:github
foobar:github    another:github   other:github

What would you do with this information ? (knowning that for this specific example, there would be multiple pages of result in the CLI)

[tacman]

Actually, it would more be like

tabler:brand-github ri:github-fill ri:github-link mdi:tabler

I have my preferred sets: tabler, then mdi, then bi, then whatever's available. In the case of github, I think on tabler it's brand-github, and on bi it's something else, so often I'm just trying to remember the exact icon name.

I love the aliases feature in ux_icons, so what I'd then do is assign github to tabler:brand-github and just use that. The command line is actually less clicking.

I recently had to look up a bunch of sports icons, and sometimes it's faster on the CLI to find them.

Thank you for this suggestion. There has not been a lot of activity here for a while. Would you still like to see this feature? Every feature is developed by the community. Perhaps someone would like to try? You can read how to contribute to get started.

I still like it. Maybe I'll be able to talk with @smnandre at the conference in Amsterdam.
