Project description

Django-svg-clip is a django template tags plugin for manipulating and rendering of svg and its attributes.

  • Adding static and dynamic attributes to svg icons.
  • You don't have to paste the whole svg tag to add atrributes such as classes, inline-styles, WAI-arias.
  • Makes the template look cleaner and shorter.
  • Increases the readability.

Installation

Install django-svg-clip from PyPI by running:

# shell
pip install django-svg-clip

Setup

  1. After installing add svg_clip to INSTALLED_APPS in the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE(e.g. settings.py).
# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    'svg_clip',
]
  1. Add SVG icons path to SVG_ICONS_DIRS:
# settings.py
SVG_ICONS_DIRS = [
    # path/to/icons
    # E.g:
    BASE_DIR / "static" / "heroicons" / "outline",
    BASE_DIR / "static/heroicons/solid",
    BASE_DIR / "static" / "icons",
    BASE_DIR / "static/icons",
]
  1. Or you can use default icons by setting USE_CLIP_ICONS to True.
# settings.py
USE_CLIP_ICONS = True

Usage

After adding the path of icons, use this tag {% clip 'icon-name' keyword_attrs="key word attrs" "non-keyword" "attrs" %} to add the icons to the django template.

NOTE: Don't put .svg extension to the icons, it is automatically added during compilation.

<!-- template.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
{% load svg_clip %}
<html>
  <head>
    <!-- ...  -->
  </head>
  <body>
    <!-- ...  -->
    {% clip 'academic-cap' %}
    {% clip 'academic-cap' class="h-6 w-6" %}
    {% clip 'academic-cap-solid' class="h-6 w-6" styles="display: block" %}
    {% clip 'academic-cap' class="h-6 w-6" styles="display: block" "hidden" %}
  </body>
</html>

Remarks: The defult icon set is heroicons-v2.0.13. To use the outline version, just use the icon name and for solid version, add '-solid' suffix to the icon name. For example, to use 'academic-cap.svg' outline version, just use 'academic-cap' and for solid version use 'academic-cap-solid'.

Heroicons: By default, we use icon set provided by heroicons with a minimal tweaks in icon names. For example, let us say academic-cap.svg. For outline version, there is no modification but for solid, you should use academic-cap-solid.svg.This is done to avoid name conflicts with outline and solid versions.

We'd like to show our regards to tailwindlabs team for availing those icons to community with an open source license.

Python project template: We use rochacbruno's python project template with little modification. It saves us a lot of time and headache during initial setup.
