A lightweight library that makes it easier to use SVG icons in your Angular Application
Overview
The SVG-icon library for Angular applications is a remarkable addition that simplifies the integration of SVG icons directly into your projects. Utilizing the <svg-icon> tag, this library allows developers to implement visually appealing icons without the hassle of using standard <img> tags. This not only streamlines the process of icon display but also enhances the flexibility of styling and animations through CSS.
One of the significant benefits of this approach is its responsiveness to styling changes. When SVG properties such as fill or stroke are set to currentColor, they adopt the color defined for the containing DOM element. Thus, any modifications to the color style on the <svg-icon> element reflect instantly, allowing for dynamic and consistent design across the application.
