Standardizing Icon Components
Wrap each SVG in a component accepting consistent props (size, color, className) so every icon in your library behaves predictably regardless of which framework consumes it.
- Standard props: size, color, className across all icons
- Consistent viewBox and stroke-width per icon set
- One source of truth per icon, reused everywhere
Source and Build Pipeline
Keep raw, converted SVG files in a source folder, then run a build script that generates the component wrappers automatically, so adding a new icon only requires dropping in a clean SVG.
- Keep raw SVGs separate from generated components
- Automate component generation in your build step
- Adding an icon = drop SVG + run the generator
Frequently Asked Questions
What props should every icon component accept?
At minimum size, color (or fill), and className/style for layout — consistent props make icons interchangeable across your codebase.
Should I hand-write each icon component?
For more than a handful of icons, automate component generation from your source SVG folder to avoid repetitive, error-prone manual work.
