Icons

Search and create icons from 200k+ open-source icons via Iconify.

Type reference

// Icons are fetched from the Iconify API (iconify.design) and inserted as SVG vector nodes.
// Icon names use "prefix:name" format. Common sets: lucide, mdi, tabler, heroicons, ph.
// Examples: "lucide:home", "mdi:account-circle", "tabler:arrow-right", "ph:gear-bold"
// Use search to discover icons by keyword. Use collections to list available icon sets.
// create fetches the SVG and inserts it via frames.create — auto-detects fill vs stroke icons.
// Use colorVariableName (not fillVariableName/strokeVariableName) — the handler applies to whichever channel has paint.
// Fetched icons are cached in memory for the session (same icon+size is fetched once).
// Powered by Iconify (iconify.design) — open-source icon framework.
