Add custom icons

I have to find a solution to add custom icons.

hi, i noticed that feather icons hasn't accepted new icons since over 2 years, and a lot of icons are missing in this set (ie. mastodon to name one) might switching to https://simpleicons.org/ be an option? greets

Lucide seems to be quite nice, too. It is a community-driven fork of Feather Icons. See https://lucide.dev/ for available icons. Perhaps this could replace Feather Icons, considering that the latter seems to be rather inactive?

I've just been toying at replacing the feather icons with the icons from Font-Awesome. Not sure where to start though

This is a total hack, but I added a custom partial of icon.html in my layouts/partials/ so that I could add a Mastodon icon:

{{- if isset .ctx.Site.Data.m10c.icons .name -}}
<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="icon icon-svg{{ .name }}">
  <title>{{ .name }}</title>
  {{ safeHTML (index .ctx.Site.Data.m10c.icons .name) }}
</svg>
{{- else if fileExists (printf "/assets/img/simpleicons/%s.svg" .name) -}}
<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="currentColor" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="0" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="icon icon-svg{{ .name }}">
  <title>{{ .name }}</title>
  {{ readFile (printf "/assets/img/simpleicons/%s.svg" .name) | safeHTML }}
</svg>
{{- else -}}
<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="icon icon-svglink">
  <path d="M10 13a5 5 0 0 0 7.54.54l3-3a5 5 0 0 0-7.07-7.07l-1.72 1.71"></path>
  <path d="M14 11a5 5 0 0 0-7.54-.54l-3 3a5 5 0 0 0 7.07 7.07l1.71-1.71"></path>
</svg>
{{- end -}}

Then I put the path info (so only <path d="..."/>) to a file with the name I want to add into /assets/img/simpleicons/.

The style of https://simpleicons.org doesn't fit a 100% but I felt like this was ok enough:

On second thought, I've slightly reworked it to work with the unchanged files from https://simpleicons.org.

My custom icon.html:

{{- if isset .ctx.Site.Data.m10c.icons .name -}}
<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="icon icon-svg{{ .name }}">
  <title>{{ .name }}</title>
  {{ safeHTML (index .ctx.Site.Data.m10c.icons .name) }}
</svg>
{{- else if fileExists (printf "/assets/img/simpleicons/%s.svg" .name) -}}
<span class="icon">
  {{ readFile (printf "/assets/img/simpleicons/%s.svg" .name) | safeHTML }}
</span>
{{- else -}}
<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="icon icon-svglink">
  <path d="M10 13a5 5 0 0 0 7.54.54l3-3a5 5 0 0 0-7.07-7.07l-1.72 1.71"></path>
  <path d="M14 11a5 5 0 0 0-7.54-.54l-3 3a5 5 0 0 0 7.07 7.07l1.71-1.71"></path>
</svg>
{{- end -}}

And a small customization to the SCSS file:

span.icon {
  fill: currentcolor;
  stroke: currentcolor;
  stroke-width: 0;
}
