Adding New SVG Icons

  1. The copyright license should be added at the top of the new SVG icon file using the format:
<!--
* SPDX-FileCopyrightText: © 2022 Liferay, Inc. <https://liferay.com>
* SPDX-FileCopyrightText: © 2022 Contributors to the project Clay <https://github.com/liferay/clay/graphs/contributors>

-->

See https://liferay.dev/blogs/-/blogs/how-and-why-to-properly-write-copyright-statements-in-your-code#tldr for more details.

  1. The <svg></svg> element should only have the attributes xmlns and viewBox.

  2. Remove any fill and id attributes from the SVG elements.

  3. Remove any <style></style> tags and the classes / ids that are referenced by it.

  4. The class lexicon-icon-body is deprecated and is no longer being included in newer icons. This class allowed the background color of an icon to be modified using the property fill. We shouldn't use this class.

  5. The class lexicon-icon-outline is a marker on each SVG element (e.g., path, circle, rect). It provides another class to use as a selector to apply CSS changes to an icon. This class should be included on all SVG elements.

  6. Run yarn compile and include the auto generated file src/scss/functions/_lx-icons-generated.scss in your commit.

  7. In the file, clay/clayui.com/plugins/gatsby-plugin-clay-css-tasks/clay-icon-aliases.js, find iconsData and add the icon aliases if needed.

  8. In the clayui.com directory run yarn develop and check to see if the icon shows up in the icon section.

  9. Include the files static/images/icons/icons.svg, static/js/icons-autogenerated.json, and static/js/flags-autogenerated.json to the commit. Some of these files might not show up in git's "Changes not staged for commit:" if aliases or flags have not been added.
