Feature: #94692 - Registering Icons via Service Container
See forge#94692
Description
Extensions can now register their custom icons via
a configuration file placed in Configuration/
of their
extension directory, e.g. typo3conf/
.
Each file needs to return a flat PHP configuration array, with custom options used for the IconRegistry to register a new icon.
Example:
<?php
return [
'myicon' => [
'provider' => \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Imaging\IconProvider\SvgIconProvider::class,
'source' => 'EXT:my_extension/Resources/Public/Icons/myicon.svg'
],
'anothericon' => [
'provider' => \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Imaging\IconProvider\SvgIconProvider::class,
'source' => 'EXT:my_extension/Resources/Public/Icons/anothericon.svg'
],
...
];
Impact
Using the new approach improves the loading speed of every request as the registration can be handled at once and cached during warmup of the core caches.
In addition, extension authors' ext_
files are
drastically reduced, as extension authors have a better overview
and a better separation of concerns when registering custom
functionality.
