After careful consideration, we've decided against developing a custom component for handling icons within this UI library. The reason behind this decision is straightforward: there already exists a fantastic solution that perfectly fits the needs and likely surpasses what we could have developed on our own.
Why should you use Nuxt Icon module?
The Nuxt Icon module offers a flexible and easy way to incorporate icons into your Nuxt applications. It supports a wide range of icon libraries, including Font Awesome, Material Icons, and many others, providing you with a vast selection of icons to choose from for your project's needs. Here are the key benefits:
- Simplicity: No need to manually download icons or manage SVG files. Simply specify the icon you need, and the Nuxt Icon module handles the rest.
- Efficiency: Reduces the bundle size by including only the icons you use in your project, optimizing your application's performance.
- Flexibility: Easily switch between different icon sets or customize icons to match your branding without changing your codebase.
Installation
