  },
});

Usage

In Content Types

Add the icon-picker custom field to any content type or component schema:

Example: src/components/sections/card.json

{
  "collectionName": "components_sections_cards",
  "info": {
    "name": "card",
    "displayName": "Card",
    "description": "A card component with icon support"
  },
  "attributes": {
    "title": {
      "type": "string",
      "required": true
    },
    "icon": {
      "type": "customField",
      "customField": "plugin::icon-picker.icon-picker",
      "required": false
    }
  }
}

In Collection Types

Example: src/api/feature/content-types/feature/schema.json

{
  "kind": "collectionType",
  "collectionName": "features",
  "info": {
    "singularName": "feature",
    "pluralName": "features",
    "displayName": "Feature"
  },
  "attributes": {
    "name": {
      "type": "string",
      "required": true
    },
    "icon": {
      "type": "customField",
      "customField": "plugin::icon-picker.icon-picker",
      "required": false
    }
  }
}

Data Format

The icon picker stores icon data in the following format:

library:iconName

Examples:

lucide:Home - Lucide Home icon
duo:add_circle - Duo add_circle icon

Frontend Usage

When consuming the API, you'll receive the icon value as a string in the format library:iconName. You can parse this and render the appropriate icon:

React Example

import { Home, Heart } from 'lucide-react';
import DuoIcons from 'duo-icons';

function IconRenderer({ iconValue }: { iconValue: string }) {
  if (!iconValue) return null;

  const [library, iconName] = iconValue.split(':');

  if (library === 'lucide') {
    // Dynamically import Lucide icons
    const IconComponent = require(`lucide-react`)[iconName];
    return IconComponent ? <IconComponent /> : null;
  }

  if (library === 'duo') {
    // Render Duo icon
    const IconSvg = DuoIcons.icons[iconName];
    if (IconSvg) {
      return <div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: IconSvg }} />;
    }
  }

  return null;
}

Next.js Example

import { Home } from 'lucide-react';

export default function FeatureCard({ feature }) {
  const [library, iconName] = feature.icon?.split(':') || [];

  return (
    <div>
      {library === 'lucide' && iconName === 'Home' && <Home />}
      <h3>{feature.name}</h3>
    </div>
  );
}

API Response

The icon field will be included in your API responses:

{
  "data": {
    "id": 1,
    "attributes": {
      "title": "My Feature",
      "icon": "lucide:Home",
      "createdAt": "2024-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
      "updatedAt": "2024-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"
    }
  }
}
