Setting Up Your Vue Project

Before you install the Kendo UI for Vue Native Icons, make sure that you have a running Vue project. The easiest way to set up a Vue project is to use the approach described in the Set up the Vue project section of the First Steps with JavaScript article.

Installing the Icons Package

All Kendo UI for Vue Native packages are distributed through npm and offer a similar installation experience. To use the SvgIcon component, start with the installation of the @progress/kendo-vue-common npm package and its dependencies.

Copy Codenpm install --save @progress/kendo-vue-common @progress/kendo-svg-icons @progress/kendo-licensing

Importing the Component

After installing the package, import the SvgIcon component in the src/App.vue file.

Copy Code// ES2015 module syntax
import { SvgIcon } from '@progress/kendo-vue-common';

Copy Code// CommonJS format
const { SvgIcon } = require('@progress/kendo-vue-common');

Using the Component

1. Import the cameraIcon icon from the @progress/kendo-svg-icons package.

   Copy Codeimport { cameraIcon } from '@progress/kendo-svg-icons';

2. Define the cameraIcon as a data property.

   Copy Code  data() {
       return {
           cameraIcon
       };
     }

3. Add the markup of the SvgIcon to the template section of the src/App.vue file in your project.

   Copy Code    <SvgIcon :icon="cameraIcon" />

4. To style the SvgIcon, install and import the Default theme, which is one of the four beautiful themes for Kendo UI for Vue.

   1. Install the Default theme package.

      Copy Codenpm install --save @progress/kendo-theme-default

   2. Import the Theme package in src/App.vue..

      Copy Codeimport '@progress/kendo-theme-default';

5. Build, run and test the application by typing the following command in the root folder of your project:

   Copy Codenpm run dev
