Usage
The heroicons
package supports both Django templates and Jinja2 templates. Follow the appropriate guide below.
Django templates
Install with
python -m pip install heroicons[django]
.Add to your
INSTALLED_APPS
:INSTALLED_APPS = [ ..., 'heroicons', ..., ]
Now in your templates you can load the template library with:
{% load heroicons %}
This provides two tags to render <svg>
icons: heroicon_outline
and heroicon_solid
, corresponding to the two icon styles in the set. The tags take these arguments:
name
, positional: the name of the icon to use. You can see the icon names on the heroicons.com grid.size
, keyword: an integer that will be used for the width and height attributes of the output<svg>
tag. Defaults to the icons’ designed sizes:24
for outline and20
for solid.- Any number of keyword arguments. These will be added as HTML attributes to the output
<svg>
tag. Underscores in attribute names will be replaced with dashes, allowing you to define e.g.data-
attributes.
For example, to render an outline “academic-cap” icon, at 48x48, with some extra CSS classes and a data attribute “controller”, you would write:
{% heroicon_outline "academic-cap" size=48 class="h-4 w-4 inline" data_controller="academia" %}
Jinja templates
Install with
python -m pip install heroicons[jinja]
.Adjust your Jinja
Environment
to add the two global functionsheroicon_outline
andheroicon_solid
, imported fromheroicons.jinja
. For example:from heroicons.jinja import heroicon_outline, heroicon_solid from jinja2 import Environment env = Environment() env.globals.update( { "heroicon_outline": heroicon_outline, "heroicon_solid": heroicon_solid, } )
Now in your templates you can call those two functions, which render <svg>
icons corresponding to the two icon styles in the set. The functions take these arguments:
name
, positional: the name of the icon to use. You can see the icon names on the heroicons.com grid.size
, keyword: an integer that will be used for the width and height attributes of the output<svg>
tag. Defaults to the icons’ designed sizes:24
for outline and20
for solid.- Any number of keyword arguments. These will be added as HTML attributes to the output
<svg>
tag. Underscores in attribute names will be replaced with dashes, allowing you to define e.g.data-
attributes.
For example, to render an outline “academic-cap” icon, at 48x48, with some extra CSS classes and a data attribute “controller”, you would write:
{{ heroicon_outline("academic-cap", size=48, class="h-4 w-4 inline", data_controller="academia") %}
