Feature: #70583 - Introduced Icon API in JavaScript

See forge#70583

Description

A JavaScript-based icon API based on the PHP API has been introduced. The methods getIcon() and getIcons() can be called in a RequireJS module.

When imported in a RequireJS module, a developer can fetch icons via JavaScript with the same parameters as in PHP. The methods getIcon() and getIcons() return Promise objects.

Importing

define(['jquery', 'TYPO3/CMS/Backend/Icons'], function($, Icons) {
});

Get icons

A single icon can be fetched by getIcon() which takes four parameters:

identifier

The icon identifier.

size

The size of the icon. Please use the properties of the Icons.sizes object.

overlayIdentifier

An overlay identifier rendered on the icon.

state

The state of the icon. Please use the properties of the Icons.states object.

To use the fetched icons, chain the done() method to the promise.

Examples

// Get a single icon
Icons.getIcon('spinner-circle-light', Icons.sizes.small).done(function(spinner) {
        $toolbarItemIcon.replaceWith(spinner);
});
