Pro tip

Looking for an icon? Click here to search for one. We also have a guide for adding a new icon.

Unless an icon is purely decorative, an aria-label attribute should be provided so that users who take advantage of screen readers can understand the content. If an icon is purely decorative, set aria-hidden="true" so that it is not picked up by screen readers.

import { Icon } from '@sproutsocial/racine'

<Box display='flex' alignItems='center' justifyContent='space-around' py={400}>
  <Icon name='tag' size='mini' aria-label='Add a tag' />
  <Icon name='tag' aria-label='Add a tag' />
  <Icon name='tag' size='medium' aria-label='Add a tag' />
  <Icon name='tag' size='large' aria-label='Add a tag' />
  <Icon name='tag' size='jumbo' aria-label='Add a tag' />
</Box>

<Box display='flex' alignItems='center' justifyContent='space-around' py={400}>

Subcomponents

Icon Toggle

In some cases, icons represent a stateful action that has both an inactive and active state. In these cases we use outline icons to represent the inactive state, and filled icons to represent the active state.

The Icon Toggle component can be used to animate between these two states.

() => {
  const [isActive, setIsActive] = useState(false)
  const toggle = () => setIsActive(!isActive)

  return (
    <Box display='flex' alignItems='center' justifyContent='center'>
      <Button appearance='pill' onClick={toggle}>
        <Icon.Toggle
          activeName='heart'
          inactiveName='heart-outline'
          isActive={isActive}
          fixedWidth
          ariaLabel='Like post'
        />
      </Button>
    </Box>
  )
}

() => {
  const [isActive, setIsActive] = useState(false)
  const toggle = () => setIsActive(!isActive)

  return (
    <Box display='flex' alignItems='center' justifyContent='center'>
      <Button appearance='pill' onClick={toggle}>
        <Icon.Toggle
          activeName='heart'
          inactiveName='heart-outline'
          isActive={isActive}
          fixedWidth
          ariaLabel='Like post'
        />
      </Button>
    </Box>
  )
}

Name	Type	Default	Description
