Material Icon in Angular 7, 6, 5 — Quick Tips#1

We can import and use material icons from google.

You can install it via npm

npm i material-design-icons

After that just import it to your style.scss

@import ‘~material-design-icons/iconfont/material-icons.css’;
.material-icons {
font-family: ‘Material Icons’;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
font-size: 24px; /* Preferred icon size */
display: inline-block;
line-height: 1;
text-transform: none;
letter-spacing: normal;
word-wrap: normal;
white-space: nowrap;
direction: ltr;
/* Support for all WebKit browsers. */
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
/* Support for Safari and Chrome. */
text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
/* Support for Firefox. */
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
/* Support for IE. */
font-feature-settings: ‘liga’;
}

In your template

<i class=”material-icons”>face</i>

Or you can use material.angular.io mat-Icon, you can find installation instructions for material.angular.io here.

import {MatIconModule} from ‘@angular/material/icon’; // in app module

In your template

<mat-icon>home</mat-icon>
