[PostCSS](https://github.com/postcss/postcss) plugin for creating customized SVG icon collections from over 80,000 free and open-source icons.

![Test Results](https://github.com/icon-blender/postcss-icon-blender/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)

## Usage

Before
```css
@icon fa align-left;
```

}
```

Add the icon to your html anywhere using:
```html

```

**Important** don't forget to include or import [icon-blender.css](https://github.com/icon-blender/icon-blender/blob/main/css/icon-blender.css).

## Custom Class Names

When using the ```@icon``` rule, generated class names will take the form ```.ib-{collection_prefix}-{icon_name}```.
If you'd prefer alternate class names, you can use the ```@iconUrl``` rule instead.

Before
```css
.my-class-name{
@iconUrl fa align-left;
}
```

After
```css
.my-class-name{
--url: url('data:image/svg+xml,%3csvg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 1792 1408"%3e%3cpath d="M1792 1216v128q0 26-19 45t-45 19H64q-26 0-45-19t-19-45v-128q0-26 19-45t45-19h1664q26 0 45 19t19 45zm-384-384v128q0 26-19 45t-45 19H64q-26 0-45-19T0 960V832q0-26 19-45t45-19h1280q26 0 45 19t19 45zm256-384v128q0 26-19 45t-45 19H64q-26 0-45-19T0 576V448q0-26 19-45t45-19h1536q26 0 45 19t19 45zM1280 64v128q0 26-19 45t-45 19H64q-26 0-45-19T0 192V64q0-26 19-45T64 0h1152q26 0 45 19t19 45z" fill="currentColor"/%3e%3c/svg%3e');
}
```

## PostCSS Setup
