Last night I spent about three hours fighting and struggling on how to get insert icons from zondicons and add some classes to them. Needless to say just adding an image_pack_tag was not doing the trick, as I needed something like this
<svg class="my-classes with-style">
<path ...>
</svg>
...instead of this
<img src="path/to/icon.svg" class="my-classes" />
So I made a helper for this:
module ApplicationHelper
def zondicon(icon_name, options={})
file = File.read(Rails.root.join('app', 'javascript', 'images', 'zondicons', "#{icon_name}.svg"))
doc = Nokogiri::HTML::DocumentFragment.parse file
svg = doc.at_css 'svg'
options.each {|attr, value| svg[attr.to_s] = value}
doc.to_html.html_safe
end
end
And now in my views I can do this:
<button class="btn btn-blue">
<%= zondicon('wrench', class: 'fill-current teal-500') %>
<span>Configure</span>
</button>
There's also a gem called inline_svg for this very purpose, but I decided to go for a simpler approach with no extra dependencies.
