A simple Icon field plugin for Kirby CMS
Kirby Icon Field
A simple Icon field for Kirby – throw your Icon pack in a folder, add the field to your blueprints and you’re good to go.
? This plugin is untested on Kirby < v4-alpha.2 so far and might not work as expected. I don’t plan on adding support for Kirby 3 versions (except if provided with a PR).
Installation
Recommended: Composer
composer require tobimori/kirby-icon-field
Manual installation
Download and copy this repository to /site/plugins/kirby-icon-field, or apply this repository as Git submodule.
Usage
This plugin relies on having your SVG icons as separate files in a folder for display in the panel – of course you’re free to do whatever you want with the field’s value in your templates.
Your icons should use currentcolor for defining the color of a fill/stroke so they can inherit the correct color from the panel.
Add the field to your blueprint:
fields:
  icon:
    label: Icon
    type: icon
    folder: assets/icons # path to your icon folder, relative to the `index` kirby root
    max: 1 # max number of icons to select - 1 will look like a 'select field', none or more like a 'multiselect' field
    # [more settings...] - same as multi-select field, e.g. disabling search, limiting icons, etc.
Use the field value in your panel
<?= svg('/assets/icons/' . $page->icon()) ?>
Options
| Option | Default | Description | 
|---|---|---|
cache | 
true | 
Enable cache for reading from icons directory | 
folder | 
assets/icon | 
Default folder for icon field, can also be a function | 
Options allow you to fine tune the behaviour of the plugin. You can set them in your config.php file:
return [
    'tobimori.icon-field' => [
        'cache' => true,
        'folder' => 'assets/icon'
    ],
];
