File Icons
==========
File-specific icons in Atom for improved visual grepping.
Supports the following packages:
* [`tree-view`](https://atom.io/packages/tree-view)
* [`tabs`](https://atom.io/packages/tabs)
* [`fuzzy-finder`](https://atom.io/packages/fuzzy-finder)
* [`find-and-replace`](https://atom.io/packages/find-and-replace)
* [`archive-view`](https://atom.io/packages/archive-view)
Installation
------------
Open **Settings** → **Install** and search for `file-icons`.
Alternatively, install through command-line:
apm install file-icons
Customisation
-------------
Everything is handled using CSS classes. Use your [stylesheet][1] to change or tweak icons.
Consult the package stylesheets to see what classes are used:
* **Icons:** [`styles/icons.less`](./styles/icons.less)
* **Colours:** [`styles/colours.less`](./styles/colours.less)
* **Fonts:** [`styles/fonts.less`](./styles/fonts.less)
#### Icon reference
* [**File-Icons**](https://github.com/file-icons/source/blob/master/charmap.md)
* [**FontAwesome**](http://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/)
* [**Mfizz**](https://github.com/file-icons/MFixx/blob/master/charmap.md)
* [**Devicons**](https://github.com/file-icons/DevOpicons/blob/master/charmap.md)
#### Examples
*
**Resize an icon:**
~~~less
.html5-icon:before{
font-size: 18px;
}
// Resize in tab-pane only:
.tab > .html5-icon:before{
font-size: 18px;
top: 3px;
}
~~~
*
**Choose your own shades of orange:**
~~~css
.dark-orange { color: #6a1e05; }
.medium-orange { color: #b8743d; }
.light-orange { color: #cf9b67; }
~~~
*
**Bring back PHP's blue-shield icon:**
~~~css
.php-icon:before{
font-family: MFizz;
content: "\f147";
}
~~~
*
**Assign icons by file extension:**
~~~css
.icon[data-name$=".js"]:before{
font-family: Devicons;
content: "\E64E";
}
~~~
*
**Assign icons to directories:**
~~~less
.directory > .header > .icon{
&[data-path$=".atom/packages"]:before{
font-family: "Octicons Regular";
content: "\f0c4";
}
}
~~~
Troubleshooting
---------------
**An icon has stopped updating:**
It's probably a caching issue. Do the following:
1. Open the command palette: Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P
2. Run `file-icons:clear-cache`
3. Reload the window, or restart Atom
**The tree-view's files are borked and [look like this][6]:**
If you haven't restarted Atom since upgrading to [File-Icons v2][v2.0], do so now.
If restarting doesn't help, your stylesheet probably needs updating. See below.
**My stylesheet has errors since updating:**
As of [v2.0][], classes are used for displaying icons instead of mixins. Delete lines like these from your stylesheet:
~~~diff
-@import "packages/file-icons/styles/icons";
-@import "packages/file-icons/styles/items";
-@{pane-tab-selector},
.icon-file-directory {
&[data-name=".git"]:before {
- .git-icon;
+ font-family: Devicons;
+ content: "\E602";
}
}
~~~
Instead of `@pane-tab…` variables, use `.tab > .icon[data-path]`:
~~~diff
-@pane-tab-selector,
-@pane-tab-temp-selector,
-@pane-tab-override {
+.tab > .icon {
&[data-path$=".to.file"] {
}
}
~~~
These CSS classes are no longer used, so delete them:
~~~diff
-.file-icons-force-show-icons,
-.file-icons-tab-pane-icon,
-.file-icons-on-changes
~~~
**It's something else.**
Please [file an issue][7]. Include screenshots if necessary.
Integration with other packages
-------------------------------
If you're a package author, you can integrate File-Icons using Atom's services API:
First, add this to your `package.json` file:
```json
"consumedServices": {
"file-icons.element-icons": {
"versions": {
"1.0.0": "consumeElementIcons"
}
}
}
```
Secondly, add a function named `consumeElementIcons` (or whatever you named it) to your package's main export:
```js
let addIconToElement;
module.exports.consumeElementIcons = function(func){
addIconToElement = func;
};
```
Then call the function it gets passed to display icons in the DOM:
```js
let fileIcon = document.querySelector("li.file-entry > span.icon");
addIconToElement(fileIcon, "/path/to/file.txt");
```
The returned value is a [`Disposable`][10] which clears the icon from memory once it's no longer needed:
```js
const disposable = addIconToElement(fileIcon, "/path/to/file.txt");
fileIcon.onDestroy(() => disposable.dispose());
```
**NOTE:** Remember to remove any default icon-classes before calling the service handler.
```diff
let fileIcon = document.querySelector("li.file-entry > span.icon");
+fileIcon.classList.remove("icon-file-text");
const disposable = addIconToElement(fileIcon, "/path/to/file.txt");
```
