Build Status NPM Version

Angular IconPicker Directive/Component with no dependencies required.

This is an Icon Picker Directive/Component for Angular 13.3+.

The icon Picker manages Font Awesome, Bootstrap Glyphicon, Font Awesome 5 (5.15.4) and Material Icons.

Installing and usage

npm install ngx-icon-picker --save

Load the module for your app

import { IconPickerModule } from 'ngx-icon-picker';

@NgModule({
  ...
  imports: [
    ...
    IconPickerModule
  ]
})

Use it in your HTML template

<input [iconPicker]="icon" (iconPickerSelect)="onIconPickerSelect(newIcon)"/>

Available inputs and output :

[iconPicker]                // The icon to select in the grid.

[ipWidth]                   // Use this option to set icon picker dialog width (default: '230px').
[ipHeight]                  // Use this option to force icon picker dialog height (default: 'auto').
[ipMaxHeight]               // Use this option to force icon picker dialog max-height (default: '200px').

[ipIconPack]                // Icon pack (Font Awesome / Font Awesome5 / Font Awesome6 / Bootstrap Glyphicon / Material / Prime): 'fa', 'fa5', 'fa6', 'bs', 'mat', 'pi', 'all' (default: ['bs', 'fa5']).
[ipIconSize]                // Set the icon size in the selector (default: '16px')
[ipIconVerticalPadding]     // Set the top and bottom padding (default: '6px') 
[ipIconHorizontalPadding]   // Set the left and right button padding (default: '10px') 
[ipKeepSearchFilter]        // The search filter keep the value to filter  (default: 'false')    

[ipFallbackIcon]            // Is used when the icon is undefined (default: 'fas fa-user').
[ipPosition]                // Dialog position: 'right', 'left', 'top', 'bottom' (default: 'right').
[ipPlaceHolder]             // Search input placeholder (default: 'Search icon...').

(iconPickerSelect)          // On selected icon value.

To integrate the icon picker with an another framework, you have to use the extra inputs:

[ipButtonStyleClass]              // To override the bootstrap class for the button. Use only to change the framework
[ipDivSearchStyleClass]     // To override the bootstrap class for the div search. Use only to change the framework
[ipInputSearchStyleClass]   // To override the bootstrap class for the input search. Use only to change the framework

Installing from a brand new @angular/cli project based on Bootstrap

Version of @angular/cli used is V15.0.2.

  • Generate a new project (here we use LESS preprocessor): ng new myproject --style less
  • cd myproject
  • Update package.json with:
      "bootstrap": "3.3.7",
      "@fortawesome/fontawesome-free": "5.15.4",

or with npm command:

  npm install --save [email protected]
  npm install --save @fortawesome/[email protected]
  • Install dependancies: yarn install (or npm install).
  • Update styles.less with:
@import '~bootstrap/less/bootstrap.less';
@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/less/fontawesome.less';
  • Import IconPickerModule in app.module.ts (also CommonModule and ReactiveFormsModule):
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { IconPickerModule } from 'ngx-icon-picker/dist/index';
import { ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    CommonModule,
    ReactiveFormsModule,
    BrowserModule,
    IconPickerModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
  • Update the template app.component.html:
<div class="container">
  <div [formGroup]="myFormGroup">
    <label>Icon</label>
    <div class="input-group">
        <span class="input-group-addon"><i [ngClass]="iconCss.value"></i></span>
        <input type="text" name="iconCss" class="form-control"
               formControlName="iconCss"
               [iconPicker]="iconCss.value"
               [ipPosition]="'bottom'"
               [ipWidth]="'250px'"
               [ipIconSize]="'16px'"
               [ipIconVerticalPadding]="'6px'"
               [ipIconHorizontalPadding]="'10px'"
               [ipKeepSearchFilter]="'false'"
               [ipPlaceHolder]="'Choose an icon'"
               [ipFallbackIcon]="fallbackIcon"
               (iconPickerSelect)="onIconPickerSelect($event)"/>
      </div>
  </div>
</div>

Note: A class for the icon button can be define to override the CSS: ip-button-icon

  • Update the component app.component.ts:
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { FormControl, FormGroup } from '@angular/forms';

@Component({
  selector   : 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls  : ['./app.component.less']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  myFormGroup: FormGroup;
  iconCss = new FormControl();
  fallbackIcon = 'fas fa-user';

  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.myFormGroup = new FormGroup({iconCss: this.iconCss});
  }

  onIconPickerSelect(icon: string): void {
    this.iconCss.setValue(icon);
  }
}
  • Start your project with yarn start (or npm start) and go to localhost:4200

Examples

To run the example or to validate your development with the example, you have to build the library:

npm install
npm run build

3 examples are available:

  • app : based on bootstrap usage. It's the framework used to design the icon picker.
  • app-bulma : based on bulma framework
  • app-semantic : based on semantic framework.

app-bulma

app-bulma is an application based on Bulma framework. You will find an example to define each class to override the default framework.

To override the bootstrap design, we use ipButtonStyleClass, ipDivSearchStyleClass and ipInputSearchStyleClass.

<div class="columns">
    <div class="column is-one-third">
        <div [formGroup]="myFormGroup">
            <div class="field">
                <div class="control has-icons-left">

                    />
                    <span class="icon is-small is-left">
                        <i [ngClass]="iconCssDefault.value"></i>
                    </span>
            </div>

    </div>
</div>

To start the server:

npm run start-semantic

go to localhost:4200

Source are availble in projects/app-semantic

app-semantic

app-semantic is an application based on Semantic UI framework. You will find an example to define each class to override the default framework.

To override the bootstrap design, we use ipButtonStyleClass, ipDivSearchStyleClass and ipInputSearchStyleClass.

<div [formGroup]="myFormGroup">
    <div class="ui horizontal label">Icon</div>
        <div class="ui left icon input">
            <input type="text" name="iconCssDefault" formControlName="iconCssDefault"
                [iconPicker]="iconCssDefault.value"
                [ipIconPack]="['fa5']"
                [ipPosition]="'bottom'"
                [ipWidth]="'250px'"
                [ipPlaceHolder]="'Choose an icon'"
                [ipFallbackIcon]="fallbackIconDefault"
                [ipButtonStyleClass]="'ui primary basic button'"
                [ipDivSearchStyleClass]="'ui fluid focus input'"
                [ipInputSearchStyleClass]="''"
                (iconPickerSelect)="onIconPickerDefaultSelect($event)"
            />
            <i class="icon" [ngClass]="iconCssDefault.value"></i>
