helper-octicon

Template helper for displaying octicon SVGs. Should work with any Handlebars, Lo-Dash, underscore or any template engine that allows helper functions to be registered. Also compatible with verb, assemble, and templates.

Install

Install globally with npm

m install --global helper-octicon

Usage

The main export is a function that can be called directly:

octicon = require('helper-octicon');
ole.log(octicon('x'));
 '<svg version="1.1" width="12" height="16" viewBox="0 0 12 16" class="octicon octicon-x" aria-hidden="true"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M7.48 8l3.75 3.75-1.48 1.48L6 9.48l-3.75 3.75-1.48-1.48L4.52 8 .77 4.25l1.48-1.48L6 6.52l3.75-3.75 1.48 1.48z"/></svg>'

Examples

With Handlebars:

use triple curly braces to unescape the svg tag so it's rendered correctly.

cticon "x" class="close"}}}
 <svg version="1.1" width="12" height="16" viewBox="0 0 12 16" class="octicon octicon-x close" aria-hidden="true"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M7.48 8l3.75 3.75-1.48 1.48L6 9.48l-3.75 3.75-1.48-1.48L4.52 8 .77 4.25l1.48-1.48L6 6.52l3.75-3.75 1.48 1.48z"/></svg>

Usage with assemble

(This example also works for verb, update, generate, or any other lib based on the templates library)

Register the helper for use with any template engine

templates = require('templates');
app = templates();

helper('octicon', require('helper-octicon'));

task('default', function() {
p.src('templates/.hbs')
.pipe(app.dest('dist'));

Helper usage

Delimiters depend on the engine registered. For example, with Lo-Dash or Underscore templates:

octicon("x") %>
 <svg version="1.1" width="12" height="16" viewBox="0 0 12 16" class="octicon octicon-x" aria-hidden="true"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M7.48 8l3.75 3.75-1.48 1.48L6 9.48l-3.75 3.75-1.48-1.48L4.52 8 .77 4.25l1.48-1.48L6 6.52l3.75-3.75 1.48 1.48z"/></svg>

Or with Verb, which uses special delimiters to avoid delimiter collision when the documentation itself includes templates that should not render (like these docs):

octicon("x") %}
 <svg version="1.1" width="12" height="16" viewBox="0 0 12 16" class="octicon octicon-x" aria-hidden="true"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M7.48 8l3.75 3.75-1.48 1.48L6 9.48l-3.75 3.75-1.48-1.48L4.52 8 .77 4.25l1.48-1.48L6 6.52l3.75-3.75 1.48 1.48z"/></svg>

Usage with handlebars

To use the helper directly with handlebars:

handlebars = require('handlebars');
lebars.registerHelper('octicon', require('helper-octicon'));

Template examples:

cticon "x"}}}
cticon "x" class="close"}}}
cticon "x" width="48" height="60"}}}

Usage with lodash or underscore

Use directly with Lo-Dash or underscore:

octicon = require('helper-octicon');

s a mixin
xin({octicon: octicon});
mplate('<%= _.octicon("x") %>');
 '<svg version="1.1" width="12" height="16" viewBox="0 0 12 16" class="octicon octicon-x" aria-hidden="true"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M7.48 8l3.75 3.75-1.48 1.48L6 9.48l-3.75 3.75-1.48-1.48L4.52 8 .77 4.25l1.48-1.48L6 6.52l3.75-3.75 1.48 1.48z"/></svg>'

r pass the helper on the context
mplate('<%= octicon("x") %>')({octicon: octicon});
 '<svg version="1.1" width="12" height="16" viewBox="0 0 12 16" class="octicon octicon-x" aria-hidden="true"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M7.48 8l3.75 3.75-1.48 1.48L6 9.48l-3.75 3.75-1.48-1.48L4.52 8 .77 4.25l1.48-1.48L6 6.52l3.75-3.75 1.48 1.48z"/></svg>'
