Question 1

How do I set up Ng Icons in an Angular standalone app?

Accepted Answer

Import the NgIcon component and use provideIcons in your component's providers to register icons. For example, in bootstrapApplication, add providers with provideIcons({...}) to enable standalone usage seamlessly.

Question 2

Ng Icons vs using individual icon libraries: which is more efficient?

Accepted Answer

Ng Icons consolidates multiple sets into one component, reducing bundle size through tree-shaking if you use diverse icons, but for single-set needs, a direct import might be lighter. Assess based on your icon diversity and performance goals.

Question 3

Can I load icons from a CDN with Ng Icons?

Accepted Answer

Yes, using icon loaders, you can dynamically fetch icons from URLs. Implement a loader function that returns an Observable or Promise from an HTTP request, allowing flexible integration with external sources.

Question 4

How to change the default icon color globally in Ng Icons?

Accepted Answer

Use provideNgIconsConfig to set default properties like color in your app's providers. For instance, provideNgIconsConfig({ color: 'blue' }) applies across all icons, ensuring uniform styling without manual overrides.

Question 5

Does Ng Icons work with Angular Universal for server-side rendering?

Accepted Answer

Ng Icons is compatible with Angular's SSR, but configure CSP settings using withContentSecurityPolicy() in global config to avoid errors. Ensure icon loaders handle server-side fetching appropriately.

Question 6

What's the impact on bundle size when using multiple icon sets?

Accepted Answer

Bundle size increases with each installed icon set package, but only imported icons are included due to tree-shaking. Optimize by installing only needed sets and using dynamic loading for less frequent icons.
