This is a Sanity Studio v3 plugin.
Icon picker for Sanity which let you select icons from a set of icon providers.
npm install sanity-plugin-icon-pickerAdd it as a plugin in sanity.config.ts (or .js):
import { defineConfig } from 'sanity';
import { iconPicker } from 'sanity-plugin-icon-picker';
export default defineConfig({
//...
plugins: [iconPicker()],
});Use the type in your schemas.
{
title: "Icon",
name: "icon",
type: "iconPicker"
}Define which icon providers you want to use by providing their provider id in the providers array. If not defined, the Icon Picker defaults to display all providers and icons.
{
title: "Icon",
name: "icon",
type: "iconPicker",
options: {
providers: ["f7", "fa", "mdi", "sa", "hi", "fi", "si"]
}
}Format the output data in accordance with your front-end project. If you're using React you can set the outputFormat to react. If you ommit this option, the output format will be in accordance with every single provider's icon naming convention.
{
title: "Icon",
name: "icon",
type: "iconPicker",
options: {
outputFormat: 'react',
}
}Filter out a subset of icons to be used by specifying a filter. A filter can be either an exact match of a string (case insensitive) or a regular expression. Supports both the react naming convention of an icon name as well as default naming conventions for each icon provider. This means that defining for instance the Font Awesome icon arrow-circle-up is equal to defining the react version FaArrowCircleUp.
{
title: "Icon",
name: "icon",
type: "iconPicker",
options: {
filter: ['FaBeer', 'FaDocker', /^arrow/i],
}
}If you don't want to dynamically generate the icons in your front-end as described in this example, you can opt in to storing the selected SVG icon as a string in your data (usage example here).
{
title: "Icon",
name: "icon",
type: "iconPicker",
options: {
storeSvg: true
}
}Extend the built in provider configurations by adding your own. Note that if you want to mix built-in provider configurations with your own, you need to specify them manually since all will not be used automatically if a configuration is available.

In order to render the icon component as preview media, we can import a helper method.
import { preview } from 'sanity-plugin-icon-picker';We can then render the icon by passing the selected name and provider to this method which will return an icon component.
{
...
preview: {
select: {
provider: "icon.provider",
name: "icon.name",
},
prepare(icon) {
return {
title: icon.provider,
subtitle: icon.name,
media: preview(icon),
};
},
}
}If you're using your own configurations you need to pass the options object to the preview parameters. Here's an example:
import React from 'react';
import { preview } from 'sanity-plugin-icon-picker';
import * as CarbonIcons from '@carbon/icons-react';
const options = {
configurations: [
{
title: 'Carbon Icons',
provider: 'ci',
icons: (options) =>
Object.entries(CarbonIcons).map(([name, Component]) => ({
name,
component: () => <Component width="1.5em" height="1em" />,
tags: [name],
})),
},
],
};
export const schemaTypes = [
{
title: 'Icons',
name: 'icons',
type: 'document',
fields: [
{
title: 'Icon',
name: 'icon',
type: 'iconPicker',
options,
},
],
preview: {
select: {
provider: 'icon.provider',
name: 'icon.name',
},
prepare(icon) {
return {
title: icon.provider,
subtitle: icon.name,
media: preview({ ...icon, options }),
};
},
},
},
];import { migrateIconName } from 'sanity-plugin-icon-picker';We can use this function to migrate the name to a new outputFormat. This can be useful if you added icons in your studio and later decide that you want to use another outputFormat. Pass the third parameter react if you want to convert the name to options.outputFormat: 'react' naming convention. If you want to convert from react to default simply leave out the third parameter. Here's an example of a migration script where this function might come in handy.
migrateIconName('alert-circle', 'fi', 'react');Can I use this plugin for Sanity Studio v2?
Yes you can! Simply install the older version of this plugin
npm install [email protected]Then refer to the old documentation and follow everything except the install step.
How can I consume the data returned from Sanity Studio in my React app?
Here's a really simple example of how you could consume the data to render a Font Awesome icon from it. Note that in this example I'm using the option outputFormat: 'react' for the icon picker in the studio as mentioned here.
import * as Icons from 'react-icons/fa';
// Sanity data mock
const data = {
_type: 'iconPicker',
name: 'FaBeer',
provider: 'fa',
_updatedAt: '2021-07-25T02:30:43.141Z',
};
const DynamicFontAwesomeIcon = ({ name }) => Icons[name];
export default function App() {
const Icon = DynamicFontAwesomeIcon(data);
return (
<div className="App">
<Icon />
</div>
);
}If you've opted in to store SVGs in your data (options.storeSvg), you could present them in various ways:
// Sanity data mock
const data = {
_type: 'iconPicker',
name: 'alert-circle',
provider: 'fi',
svg: '<svg stroke="currentColor" fill="none" stroke-width="2" viewBox="0 0 24 24" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" height="1em" width="1em" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" style="width: 1.5em; height: 1em;"><circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10"></circle><line x1="12" y1="8" x2="12" y2="12"></line><line x1="12" y1="16" x2="12.01" y2="16"></line></svg>',
};
export default function App() {
const encodedSvg = encodeURIComponent(data.svg);
const imgSrc = `data:image/svg+xml,${encodedSvg}`;
return (
<div className="App">
<img src={imgSrc} />
</div>
);
}import SVG from 'react-inlinesvg';
// Sanity data mock
const data = {
_type: 'iconPicker',
name: 'alert-circle',
provider: 'fi',
svg: '<svg fill="none" height="1em" stroke="currentColor" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" stroke-width="2" viewBox="0 0 24 24" width="1em" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10" /><line x1="12" x2="12" y1="8" y2="12" /><line x1="12" x2="12.01" y1="16" y2="16" /></svg>',
};
export default function App() {
return (
<div className="App">
<SVG src={data.svg} />
</div>
);
}Changing output format doesn't change the data
If you start adding icons to your data with for instance no options.outputFormat (default) set and then later decide that you want to use options.outputFormat: true, your data will not automagically update. You will either have to re-select each icon in your Studio or run a migration script to update all the icons to the correct output format. Here's an example of such a migration script.
Deploying NextJS embedded studio breaks studio
It's been reported several times that in some cases when deploying a studio that uses this plugin breaks the studio. The quick fix for that is to use swcMinify: false in your NextJS config.
