<wa-icon> Stable Since 2.0

Icons are scalable vector symbols that represent actions, content, or status throughout your application. They support Font Awesome and custom icon libraries with animation presets.

Web Awesome comes bundled with over 2,000 free icons courtesy of Font Awesome. These icons are part of the default icon library. Font Awesome Pro users can unlock additional icon families. Or, if you prefer, you can register your own custom icon library.

Sizing sizing link

Icons are sized relative to the current font size. To change their size, set the font-size property on the icon itself or on a parent element as shown below.

<div class="wa-cluster" style="font-size: 44px;">
  <wa-icon name="bell"></wa-icon>
  <wa-icon name="heart"></wa-icon>
  <wa-icon name="image"></wa-icon>
  <wa-icon name="microphone"></wa-icon>
  <wa-icon name="search"></wa-icon>
  <wa-icon name="star"></wa-icon>
</div>

Colors colors link

Icons inherit their color from the current text color. Thus, you can set the color property on the <wa-icon> element or an ancestor to change the color.

<div class="wa-cluster" style="font-size: 1.5em;">
  <wa-icon name="heart" style="color: salmon;"></wa-icon>
  <wa-icon name="fire" style="color: coral;"></wa-icon>
  <wa-icon name="sun" style="color: gold;"></wa-icon>
  <wa-icon name="leaf" style="color: mediumseagreen;"></wa-icon>
  <wa-icon name="cloud-showers-heavy" style="color: steelblue;"></wa-icon>
  <wa-icon name="hat-wizard" style="color: mediumpurple;"></wa-icon>
</div>

Labels labels link

For non-decorative icons, use the label attribute to announce it to assistive devices.

<wa-icon name="star" label="Favorite" style="font-size: 1.5em;"></wa-icon>

Families & Variants families variants link

The default icon library is Font Awesome Free, which comes with two icon families: classic and brands. Use the family attribute to set the icon family.

Many Font Awesome Pro icon families have variants such as thin, light, regular, and solid. Font Awesome Pro users can provide their kit code to unlock additional premium icon families, including sharp, duotone, sharp-duotone, and additional Pro+ icon packs.

For families that support multiple weights, use the variant attribute to set the variant.

Auto Width auto width link

By default, icons have a 1em height and a fixed 1.25em width. Use the auto-width attribute to allow the icon to use its natural variable width.

Rotating & Flipping rotating flipping link

Web Awesome supports Font Awesome’s rotation and flip utilities for adjusting icon orientation. To rotate or flip icons, use the rotate and flip attributes when you reference an icon.

<wa-icon name="snowboarding" label="Snowboarding" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="snowboarding" rotate="90" label="Snowboarding" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="snowboarding" rotate="180" label="Snowboarding" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="snowboarding" rotate="270" label="Snowboarding" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="snowboarding" flip="x" label="Snowboarding" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="snowboarding" flip="y" label="Snowboarding" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="snowboarding" flip="both" label="Snowboarding" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>

Animating animating link

Web Awesome supports Font Awesome’s animation utilities for adding visual interest to icons. To select different types of animations, use the animation attribute when you reference an icon.

All icon animations respect prefers-reduced-motion and are automatically disabled when set to reduce.

Beat beat link

Use the beat animation to scale an icon up or down. This is useful for grabbing attention or for use with health/heart-centric icons.

<wa-icon name="circle-plus" animation="beat" label="Beating Circle Plus" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="heart" animation="beat" label="Beating Heart" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon
  name="heart"
  animation="beat"
  label="Beating Heart"
  style="font-size: 2em; --animation-duration: 0.5s;"
></wa-icon>
<wa-icon
  name="heart"
  animation="beat"
  label="Beating Heart"
  style="font-size: 2em; --animation-duration: 2s;"
></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="heart" animation="beat" label="Beating Heart" style="font-size: 2em; --beat-scale: 2;"></wa-icon>

Fade fade link

Use the fade animation to fade an icon in and out visually to grab attention in a subtle (or not so subtle) way.

<wa-icon name="triangle-exclamation" animation="fade" label="Fading Warning" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="skull-crossbones" animation="fade" label="Fading Danger" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="cloud-arrow-down" animation="fade" label="Fading Download" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon
  name="i-cursor"
  animation="fade"
  label="Fading Cursor"
  style="font-size: 2em; --animation-duration: 2s; --fade-opacity: 0.6;"
></wa-icon>

Beat-Fade beat fade link

Use the beat-fade animation to grab attention by visually scaling and pulsing an icon in and out.

<wa-icon name="person-digging" animation="beat-fade" label="Beat-Fading Construction" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="circle-exclamation" animation="beat-fade" label="Beat-Fading Alert" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon
  name="poo-bolt"
  animation="beat-fade"
  label="Beat-Fading Lightning"
  style="font-size: 2em; --beat-fade-opacity: 0.1;--beat-fade-scale: 1.25"
></wa-icon>
<wa-icon
  name="circle-info"
  animation="beat-fade"
  label="Beat-Fading Info"
  style="font-size: 2em; --beat-fade-opacity: 0.67;--beat-fade-scale: 1.075"
></wa-icon>

Bounce bounce link

Use the bounce animation to grab attention by visually bouncing an icon up and down.

<wa-icon name="volleyball" animation="bounce" label="Bouncing Volleyball" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>

<!-- bounce with extra rebound and "squish" on landing -->
<wa-icon
  name="basketball"
  animation="bounce"
  label="Bouncing Basketball"
  style="font-size: 2em; --bounce-land-scale-x: 1.2;--bounce-land-scale-y: .8;--bounce-rebound: 5px;"
></wa-icon>

<!-- bounce animation with no "squish" -->
<wa-icon
  name="frog"
  animation="bounce"
  label="Bouncing Frog"
  style="font-size: 2em; --bounce-start-scale-x: 1; --bounce-start-scale-y: 1; --bounce-jump-scale-x: 1; --bounce-jump-scale-y: 1; --bounce-land-scale-x: 1; --bounce-land-scale-y: 1;"
></wa-icon>

<!-- bounce animation with no "squish" or "rebound" -->
<wa-icon
  name="envelope"
  animation="bounce"
  label="Bouncing Envelope"
  style="font-size: 2em; --bounce-start-scale-x: 1;--bounce-start-scale-y: 1;--bounce-jump-scale-x: 1;--bounce-jump-scale-y: 1;--bounce-land-scale-x: 1;--bounce-land-scale-y: 1;--bounce-rebound: 0;"
></wa-icon>

Flip flip link

Use the flip animation to rotate an icon in 3D space. By default, flip rotates an icon about the Y axis 180 degrees. Flipping is helpful for transitions, processing states, or for using physical objects that one flips in the real world.

<wa-icon name="compact-disc" animation="flip" label="Flipping Compact Disc" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="camera-rotate" animation="flip" label="Flipping Camera Rotate" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="compact-disc" animation="flip" label="Flipping Disc" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon
  name="scroll"
  animation="flip"
  label="Flipping Scroll"
  style="font-size: 2em; --flip-x: 1; --flip-y: 0"
></wa-icon>
<wa-icon
  name="money-check-dollar"
  animation="flip"
  label="Flipping Money Check Dollar"
  style="font-size: 2em; --animation-duration: 3s;"
></wa-icon>

Shake shake link

Use the shake animation to grab attention or note that something is not allowed by shaking an icon back and forth.

<wa-icon name="bell" animation="shake" label="Shaking Bell" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="lock" animation="shake" label="Shaking Lock" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="stopwatch" animation="shake" label="Shaking Stopwatch" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="bomb" animation="shake" label="Shaking Bomb" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>

Spin spin link

Use the spin animation to get any icon to rotate, and use spin-pulse to have it rotate with eight steps. Use spin-reverse to rotate counter-clockwise. This works especially well with spinner and everything in the spinner icons category.

<wa-icon name="sync" animation="spin" label="Spinning Sync" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="circle-notch" animation="spin" label="Spinning Circle Notch" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="cog" animation="spin" label="Spinning Cog" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="cog" animation="spin-reverse" label="Reverse Spinning Cog" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon name="spinner" animation="spin-pulse" label="Pulse Spinning Spinner" style="font-size: 2em;"></wa-icon>
<wa-icon
  name="spinner"
  animation="spin-pulse"
  label="Pulse Spinning Spinner"
  style="font-size: 2em; --animation-direction: reverse"
></wa-icon>

Duotone duotone link

Font Awesome’s Duotone icons change with the color property as well, but you can customize the primary and secondary colors independently using the --primary-color and --secondary-color custom properties. To change the opacity of either, use --primary-opacity and --secondary-opacity.

Note that these custom properties will not inherit and must be applied directly to the icon.

Pro+ icons can be unlocked by providing a valid Font Awesome kit code.

Custom Icons custom icons link

Custom icons can be loaded individually with the src attribute. Only SVGs on a local or CORS-enabled endpoint are supported. If you’re using more than one custom icon, it might make sense to register a custom icon library.

<wa-icon src="https://shoelace.style/assets/images/shoe.svg" style="font-size: 4rem;"></wa-icon>

Self-hosting the Default Library self hosting the default library link

By default, icons are loaded from the Font Awesome CDN. If you’d prefer to download the icons and serve them from your own server, you can use the setIconPath() function to point the default icon library at your self-hosted directory.

When you download Font Awesome, the archive will contain an svgs directory with subfolders such as solid/, regular/, brands/, etc. Copy the svgs directory (or its contents) into your project and set the icon path to point to it.

<script type="module">
  import { setIconPath } from '/dist/webawesome.js';

  // Point to the `svgs` directory from your Font Awesome download
  setIconPath('/assets/fontawesome/svgs');
</script>

After calling setIconPath(), icons will resolve to your self-hosted directory instead of the CDN. For example, <wa-icon name="house"> will load from /assets/fontawesome/svgs/solid/house.svg.

For more control over how icon URLs are constructed, you can use the getIconFolder() helper along with registerIconLibrary() to build a custom resolver. The getIconFolder() function maps a family and variant to the correct folder name, so you don’t have to replicate that logic yourself.

<script type="module">
  import { getIconFolder, registerIconLibrary } from '/dist/webawesome.js';

  registerIconLibrary('default', {
    resolver: (name, family, variant) => {
      const folder = getIconFolder(name, family, variant);
      return `/assets/fontawesome/svgs/${folder}/${name}.svg?v=2`;
    },
  });
</script>

setIconPath() must be called before Web Awesome components are loaded, similar to setBasePath() and setKitCode().

Customizing the Default Library customizing the default library link

The default icon library contains over 2,000 icons courtesy of Font Awesome. These are the icons that display when you use <wa-icon> without the library attribute. If you prefer to have these icons resolve elsewhere or to a different icon library, register an icon library using the default name and a custom resolver.

For example, this will change the default icon library to use Bootstrap Icons loaded from the jsDelivr CDN.

<script type="module">
  import { registerIconLibrary } from '/dist/webawesome.js';

  registerIconLibrary('default', {
    resolver: (name, family) => {
      const suffix = family === 'filled' ? '-fill' : '';
      return `https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap-icons@1.13.1/icons/${name}${suffix}.svg`;
    },
  });
</script>

Customize the default library to use SVG sprites customize the default library to use svg sprites link

To improve performance you can use a SVG sprites to avoid multiple trips for each SVG. The browser will load the sprite sheet once and then you reference the particular SVG within the sprite sheet using hash selector.

As always, make sure to benchmark these changes. When using HTTP/2, it may in fact be more bandwidth-friendly to use multiple small requests instead of 1 large sprite sheet.

When using sprite sheets, the wa-load and wa-error events will not fire.

For security reasons, browsers may apply the same-origin policy on <use> elements located in the <wa-icon> shadow DOM and may refuse to load a cross-origin URL. There is currently no defined way to set a cross-origin policy for <use> elements. For this reason, sprite sheets should only be used if you’re self-hosting them.

<script type="module">
  import { registerIconLibrary } from '/dist/webawesome.js';

  registerIconLibrary('sprite', {
    resolver: name => `/assets/images/sprite.svg#${name}`,
    mutator: svg => svg.setAttribute('fill', 'currentColor'),
    spriteSheet: true,
  });
</script>

Customizing the System Library customizing the system library link

The system library contains only the icons used internally by Web Awesome components. Unlike the default icon library, the system library does not rely on physical assets. Instead, its icons are hard-coded as data URIs into the resolver to ensure their availability.

If you want to change the icons Web Awesome uses internally, you can register an icon library using the system name and a custom resolver. If you choose to do this, it’s your responsibility to provide all of the icons that are required by components. You can reference src/components/library.system.ts for a complete list of system icons used by Web Awesome.

<script type="module">
  import { registerIconLibrary } from '/dist/webawesome.js';

  registerIconLibrary('system', {
    resolver: name => `/path/to/custom/icons/${name}.svg`,
  });
</script>

Third-party Icon Libraries third party icon libraries link

You can register additional icons to use with the <wa-icon> component through icon libraries. Icon files can exist locally or on a CORS-enabled endpoint (e.g. a CDN). There is no limit to how many icon libraries you can register and there is no cost associated with registering them, as individual icons are only requested when they’re used.

Web Awesome ships with two built-in icon libraries, default and system. The default icon library is provided courtesy of Font Awesome. The system icon library contains only a small subset of icons that are used internally by Web Awesome components.

To register an additional icon library, use the registerIconLibrary() function that’s exported from dist/webawesome.js. At a minimum, you must provide a name and a resolver function. The resolver function translates an icon name to a URL where the corresponding SVG file exists. Refer to the examples below to better understand how it works.

If necessary, a mutator function can be used to mutate the SVG element before rendering. This is necessary for some libraries due to the many possible ways SVGs are crafted. For example, icons should ideally inherit the current text color via currentColor, so you may need to apply fill="currentColor or stroke="currentColor" to the SVG element using this function.

Here’s an example that registers an icon library located in the /assets/icons directory.

<script type="module">
  import { registerIconLibrary } from '/dist/webawesome.js';

  registerIconLibrary('my-icons', {
    resolver: (name, family, variant) => `/assets/icons/${name}.svg`,
    mutator: svg => svg.setAttribute('fill', 'currentColor'),
  });
</script>

To display an icon, set the library and name attributes of an <wa-icon> element.

<!-- This will show the icon located at /assets/icons/smile.svg -->
<wa-icon library="my-icons" name="smile"></wa-icon>

If an icon is used before registration occurs, it will be empty initially but shown when registered.

The following examples demonstrate how to register a number of popular, open source icon libraries via CDN. Feel free to adapt the code as you see fit to use your own origin or naming conventions.
