Codicons is the icon font for Visual Studio Code, built by converting SVG icons into a font via fantasticon. It is distributed as the @vscode/codicons npm package with CSS classes for use in web apps and VS Code extensions.
Use cases
- add vscode-style icons to a web app
- use codicon icons in a vs code extension webview
- find and preview icon names for the codicon font
- build a custom icon font from svg icons
- style icons with css classes in my ui
When to choose
- you want the same icon set used by Visual Studio Code
- you need a lightweight icon font with CSS class integration
- you are building a VS Code extension or VS Code-like UI
When to avoid
- you need full-color or multi-tone SVG icons rather than a monochrome font
- you need an icon set unrelated to VS Code's visual style
