Vue Material Design Icon Components

This library is a collection of Vue single-file components to render Material Design Icons, sourced from the MaterialDesign project. It also includes some CSS that helps make the scaling of the icons a little easier.

Getting started

Install the package

npm install --save vue-material-design-icons

yarn add vue-material-design-icons

Optional, but recommended Add the included stylesheet to your root JS file, usually index.js or main.js:
```
import "vue-material-design-icons/styles.css"
```
Import the icon, and declare it as a local component:
```
import MenuIcon from "vue-material-design-icons/Menu.vue"

components: {
  MenuIcon
}
```
OR

Declare it as a global component:
```
import MenuIcon from "vue-material-design-icons/Menu.vue"

Vue.component("menu-icon", MenuIcon)
```
Note Icon files are pascal cased, e.g. CheckboxMarkedCircle.vue, and their default name has Icon appended e.g. CheckboxMarkedCircleIcon.
Then use it in your template code!
```
<menu-icon />
```

Props

title - This changes the hover tooltip as well as the title shown to screen readers. By default, those values are a "human readable" conversion of the icon names; for example chevron-down-icon becomes "Chevron down icon".

Example:
```
<android-icon title="this is an icon!" />
```
decorative - This denotes whether an icon is purely decorative, or has some meaninfgul value. If an icon is decorative, it will be hidden from screen readers. By default, this is false.

Example:
```
<android-icon decorative />
```
fillColor - This property allows you to set the fill colour of an icon via JS instead of requiring CSS changes. Note that any CSS values, such as fill: currentColor; provided by the optional CSS file, may override colours set with this prop.

Example:
```
<android-icon fillColor="#FF0000" />
```
size - This property overrides the width and height attributes on the SVG. The default is 24.

Example:
```
<android-icon :size="48" />
```

Icons

A list of the icons can be found at the Material Design Icons website. The icons packaged here are pascal cased versions of the names displayed on the website, to match the Vue Style Guide. For example, the icon named ultra-high-definition would be imported as "vue-material-design-icons/UltraHighDefinition.vue".

Tips

Use resolve in your Webpack config to clean up the imports:
```
resolve: {
  alias : {
    "icons": path.resolve(__dirname, "node_modules/vue-material-design-icons")
  },
  extensions: [
    ".vue"
  ]
}
```
This will give you much shorter and more readable imports, like import Android from "icons/Android", rather than import Android from "vue-material-design-icons/Android.vue". Much better!
If you want custom sizing, add your own css to adjust the height and width of the icons
```
.material-design-icon.icon-2x {
  height: 2em;
  width: 2em;
}

.material-design-icon.icon-2x > .material-design-icon__svg {
    height: 2em;
    width: 2em;
}
```
Then add your size class
```
  <fullscreen-icon class='icon-2x' />
```
While I recommend using CSS for styling, you can also pass in a size prop, detailed in the Props section above.
