Sketch-icons makes it simple to import icons

Sketch icons is a completely open-source icon set with 600+ icons that makes it easy for individuals to utilise icons. The Sketch-icons Web Component is a simple and effective way to incorporate Sketch icons into your app. The component will dynamically load an SVG for each icon, ensuring that your app only requests the icons it requires.

import { PlayFill } from "sketch-icons";

class Icons extends React.Component {

      <h2>

      </h2>
    );

Using CDN

If you want to use the icons in your project, you can use the CDN. Add the following cdn to your HTML file.

/>

Example

To utilize the pre-built icon from the sketch icons bundle, populate the class property on the i tag

<head>
  ...
  <link
    rel="stylesheet"
    type="text/css"
    href="https://unpkg.com/sketch-icons@0.1.11/dist/cdn/icons.css"
  />
  ...
</head>
<body>
  ...
  <i class="sk sk-alarm-fill"></i>
  ...
</body>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Using CSS Selector

You can change the properties of icon using the css selector. The selector is .sk- followed by the icon name.

.sk-alarm-fill {
  color: red;
