# Icons
# Icons and SVG Illustrations
We are using SVG Icons in GitLab with a SVG Sprite, due to this the icons are only loaded once and then referenced through an ID. The sprite SVG is located under `/assets/icons.svg`. Our goal is to replace one by one all inline SVG Icons (as those currently bloat the HTML) and also all Font Awesome usages.
We manage our own Icon and Illustration library in the [gitlab-svgs][gitlab-svgs] repository.
This repository is published on [npm][npm] and managed as a dependency via yarn.
You can browse all available Icons and Illustrations [here][svg-preview].
To upgrade to a new version run `yarn upgrade @gitlab-org/gitlab-svgs`.
### Usage in HAML/Rails

`sprite_icon(icon_name, size: nil, css_class: '')`
### Usage in HAML/Rails
**icon_name** Use the icon_name that you can find in the SVG Sprite ([Overview is available here](http://gitlab-org.gitlab.io/gitlab-svgs/)`).
To use a sprite Icon in HAML or Rails we use a specific helper function :
**size (optional)** Use one of the following sizes : 16,24,32,48,72 (this will be translated into a `s16` class)
```ruby
sprite_icon(icon_name, size: nil, css_class: '')
```
**css_class (optional)** If you want to add additional css classes
- **icon_name** Use the icon_name that you can find in the SVG Sprite
([Overview is available here][svg-preview]).
- **size (optional)** Use one of the following sizes : 16, 24, 32, 48, 72 (this will be translated into a `s16` class)
- **css_class (optional)** If you want to add additional css classes
**Example**
`= sprite_icon('issues', size: 72, css_class: 'icon-danger')`
```haml
= sprite_icon('issues', size: 72, css_class: 'icon-danger')
```
**Output from example above**
`<svg class="s72 icon-danger"><use xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="/assets/icons.svg#issues"></use></svg>`
```html
<svg class="s72 icon-danger">
<use xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="/assets/icons.svg#issues"></use>
</svg>
```

## Adding a new icon to the sprite
## SVG Illustrations
All Icons and Illustrations are managed in the [gitlab-svgs](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-svgs) repository which is added as a dev-dependency.
Please use from now on for any SVG based illustrations simple `img` tags to show an illustration by simply using either `image_tag` or `image_path` helpers.
Please use the class `svg-content` around it to ensure nice rendering.
To upgrade to a new SVG Sprite version run `yarn upgrade @gitlab-org/gitlab-svgs`.

**Example**
Please use from now on for any SVG based illustrations simple `img` tags to show an illustration by simply using either `image_tag` or `image_path` helpers. Please use the class `svg-content` around it to ensure nice rendering. The illustrations are also organised in the [gitlab-svgs](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-svgs) repository (as they are then automatically optimised).
```haml

**Example**
### Usage in Vue
`= image_tag 'illustrations/merge_requests.svg'`
To use an SVG illustrations in a template provide the path as a property and display it through a standard img tag.

props: {
svgIllustrationPath: {
type: String,
required: true,

},
};
