tablericons-new 1.0.0

Use tablericons in your Django and Jinja templates.

Use tablericons in your Django and Jinja templates.

Requirements

Python 3.9 to 3.13 supported.

Django 4.2 to 5.1 supported.

Usage

The tablericons-new package supports both Django templates and Jinja templates. Follow the appropriate guide below.

Django templates

1. Install with python -m pip install tablericons-new[django].

2. Add to your INSTALLED_APPS:

   INSTALLED_APPS = [
       ...,
       "tablericons",
       ...,
   ]

Now your templates can load the template library with:

{% load tablericons %}

Alternatively, make the library available in all templates by adding it to the builtins option:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        "BACKEND": "django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates",
        # ...
        "OPTIONS": {
            # ...
            "builtins": [
                ...,
                "tablericons.templatetags.tablericons",
                ...,
            ],
        },
    }
]

The library provides these tags to render SVG icons in their corresponding styles:

• tablericon_outline

• tablericon_filled

The tags take these arguments:

• name, positional: the name of the icon to use. You can see the icon names on the tablericons.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 and solid, 20 for mini, and 16 for micro. Can be None, in which case no width or height attributes will be output.

• Any number of keyword arguments. These will be added as attributes in the output HTML. Underscores in attribute names will be replaced with dashes, allowing you to define e.g. data- attributes.

  Most attributes will be added to the <svg> tag containing the icon, but these attributes will be attached to the inner <path> tags instead:

  • stroke-linecap

  • stroke-linejoin

  • vector-effect

Examples

An outline “school” icon:

{% tablericon_outline "school" %}

The same icon, solid, at 40x40 pixels, and a CSS class:

{% tablericon_outline "school" size=40 class="mr-4" %}

That icon again, but with the paths changed to a narrower stroke width, and a “data-controller” attribute declared:

{% tablericon_outline "school" stroke_width=1 data_controller="academia" %}

Jinja templates

1. Install with python -m pip install tablericons-new[jinja].

2. Adjust your Jinja Environment to add the global tablericon_* functions from tablericons.jinja. For example:

   from tablericons.jinja import (
       tablericon_outline,
       tablericon_filled,
   )
   from jinja2 import Environment
   
   env = Environment()
   env.globals.update(
       {
           "tablericon_outline": tablericon_outline,
           "tablericon_filled": tablericon_filled,
       }
   )

Now in your templates you can call those functions, which render <svg> icons corresponding to the 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 tablericons.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 and solid, 20 for mini, and 16 for micro. Can be None, in which case no width or height attributes will be output.

• Any number of keyword arguments. These will be added as HTML attributes to the output HTML. Underscores in attribute names will be replaced with dashes, allowing you to define e.g. data- attributes.

  Most attributes will be added to the <svg> tag containing the icon, but these attributes will be attached to the inner <path> tags instead:

  • stroke-linecap

  • stroke-linejoin

  • vector-effect

Note: unlike the SVG code you can copy from tablericons.com, there is no default class.

Examples

An outline “egg” icon:

{{ tablericon_outline("egg") }}

The same icon, solid, at 40x40 pixels, and a CSS class:

{{ tablericon_filled("egg", size=40, class="mr-4") %}

That icon again, but with the paths changed to a narrower stroke width, and a “data-controller” attribute declared:

{{ tablericon_outline("egg", stroke_width=1, data_controller="academia") %}

This package is heavely inspired by [Adam Johnson’s heroicons](https://github.com/gartmeier/heroicons). It’s actually mostly copied from it so a huge thanks Adam!
