Drawer Icons

You can add Telerik Font or SVG icons to the Drawer items. The component also supports custom icons.

To use Drawer item icons, define a property in the component model class and assign the property name to the IconField parameter of the Drawer.

The model property can hold:

• A property of the static SvgIcon class;
• A member of the FontIcon enum;
• A string that is a CSS class for a custom icon.

If the icon property name in the Drawer model is Icon, there is no need to set the IconField parameter.

Make sure to register font-icons.css if using Telerik font icons.

How to use icons in the Telerik Drawer

<TelerikDrawer Data="@Data"
               IconField="@nameof(DrawerItem.Icon)"
               MiniMode="true"
               @bind-Expanded="@DrawerExpanded"
               Mode="DrawerMode.Push"
               @ref="@DrawerRef"
               @bind-SelectedItem="@SelectedItem">
    <DrawerContent>
        <TelerikButton OnClick="@(() => DrawerRef.ToggleAsync())" Icon="@SvgIcon.Menu">Toggle drawer</TelerikButton>
        <div class="m-5">
            Selected Item: @SelectedItem?.Text
        </div>
    </DrawerContent>
</TelerikDrawer>

<style>
    /* Third-party icon libraries should provide these styles out-of-the-box. */

    /* base styles for all custom icons */
    .my-icon {
        /* Define size, position and font styles here to ensure icons and images will be properly visualized in all themes. */
        width: 1em;
        height: 1em;
        font-size: 16px;
    }

    /* styles for specific custom image */
    .my-image {
        /* define a background image or a font icon glyph here */
        background-image: url('https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/content/shared/icons/16/star.png'); 
        flex-shrink: 0;
    }
</style>
