<p>Usually an icon package is needed, allow using it via icon-api would be great: <a href="https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/drupal-apis/icon-api#s-how-to-add-an-icon-pack">https://www.drupal.org/docs/develop/drupal-apis/icon-api#s-how-to-add-an-icon-pack</a></p>
<p>After testing it, it is not difficult:<br>
- adding this SUBTHEME.icons.yml to subtheme:</p>
<pre>bootstrap_icons:<br> label: "Bootstrap"<br> description: "Bootstrap icons from SVG files."<br> links:<br> - https://icons.getbootstrap.com/#usage<br> license:<br> name: MIT<br> url: https://github.com/twbs/icons/blob/main/LICENSE<br> gpl-compatible: true<br> extractor: svg<br> config:<br> sources:<br> - /libraries/bootstrap-icons/icons/{icon_id}.svg<br> settings:<br> size:<br> title: "Size"<br> description: "You need to specify the size unit (px, em or other). Default value is 32px."<br> type: "string"<br> default: "32px"<br> color:<br> title: "Color"<br> type: "string"<br> alt:<br> title: "Alt text"<br> description: "Accessibility alternative text, leave empty for decorative icon."<br> type: "string"<br> template: >-<br> <svg<br> xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"<br> class="bi bi-{{ icon_id }}"<br> style="width:{{ size|default('32px') }};height:{{ size|default('32px') }};"<br> fill="{{ color|default('currentColor') }}"<br> viewBox="0 0 16 16"<br> {% if alt is empty %}<br> aria-hidden="true"<br> {% else %}<br> aria-label="{{ alt }}"<br> {% endif %}<br> ><br> {{ content }}<br> </svg></pre><p>installing icons in subtheme with: </p>
<p><code>yarn add bootstrap-icons</code></p>
<p>and adding the copy step to webpack.mix.js</p>
<p><code>mix.copyDirectoryWatched('node_modules/bootstrap-icons/icons/*', 'build/assets/icons/bootstrap-icons');</code></p>
<p>Allows to use the api in render arrays like:</p>
<pre>$build['icon'] = [<br> '#type' => 'icon',<br> '#pack_id' => 'bootstrap_icons,<br> '#icon_id' => 'house-fill',<br> '#settings' => [<br> 'size' => 64,<br> ],<br>];</pre><p>or in twig:</p>
<p><code>{{ icon('bootstrap_icons', 'house-fill', {size: 64}) }}</code></p>
<p>also it will be usable with <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/ui_icons">https://www.drupal.org/project/ui_icons</a> </p>
