Install

pip install wagtailextraicons

Then add wagtailextraicons to your installed apps:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'wagtailextraicons'
]

Usage

The full list of icons is available at docs/icons.md. All icons are namespaced as extraicons-- to avoid clashing with existing Wagtail icons. You can add the extra icons to your StreamField blocks like any other:

content = StreamField(
    [
        ('paragraph', blocks.RichTextBlock(icon='extraicons--paragraph')),
    ],
    use_json_field=True,    
)

You can also add the extra icons to your own custom StructBlock classes:

class PersonBlock(blocks.StructBlock):
    person = SnippetChooserBlock('app.Person')
    text = blocks.RichTextBlock()

    class Meta:
        icon = 'extraicons--person'

Reference the Wagtail docs for all the ways to include icons.

Contributing

The icon fonts are compiled from the list of SVG files in static_src/wagtailextraicons/extraicons. This makes it very easy to add new icons. All that's needed is an appropriate SVG file, so pull requests with new icons are always welcome. There are a few constraints on the icons however:

• The icons must fit within their view box. Icons which don't will cause the fonts view box to have negative values, which results in invalid .ttf and .woff files.
• Try to avoid using strokes, rects, etc. in your SVG. Some of these may work, but plain paths will always work, so prefer paths where possible.
• Don't set colours on your SVG.

Code pull requests are also welcome.
