simple-icons-rs

Simple Icons support for Rust.

API matches that of the official JavaScript library.

N.B. The crate is generated on a regular basis and should theoretically match (data and version-wise) the official library on NPM.

Usage & API

As noted above, usage of simple-icons-rs is very similar to that of the official library with the exception of the icon identifiers (described in the next section).

use simple_icons;

fn main() {
    let icon = simple_icons::get("Apple");

    match icon {
        Some(i) => println!(i),
        None => println!("no matching icon"),
    }
}

As you can see, get accepts an icon title and returns an Option<Icon>. However, if you compile this code, you might notice that the resulting binary... is nearly 5 MB. That's pretty fucking huge, especially if you only plan to use a handful of icons.

If you know which icons you plan to use at compile time, you can directly import and reference it to reduce your output size.

use simple_icons;

fn main() {
    println!(simple_icons::icons::Apple);
}

Compiling and running this code will print the same information, but the output size is reduced to ~250 KB — nearly 95% smaller than the previous output size.

Identifiers

In the official library, icons are referenced by title in get or by their slug for individual imports.

So, e.g. 1Password becomes 1password and .NET becomes dot-net.

These can be used within the official library like so:

const simpleIcons = require('simple-icons');

console.log(simpleIcons.get('.NET'));

// or

const icon = require('simple-icons/icons/dot-net');

console.log(icon);

simple-icons-rs is a little different because we can't use those same slugs as valid identifiers within Rust (dashes, numerals, etc. are invalid).

License

TBH kinda unsure.

The code in this repository that is used to generate the crate is licensed under The Unlicense but the official library (which is used to generate the crate) is licensed under CC0 1.0 and so I've licensed the crate as such.

In practice I think they should be fairly similar, they're both dedications to the public domain, but IANAL and I haven't done a "legal diff" of the two licenses.
