Similar Npm Packages to @mui/icons-material

@mui/icons-material is a package that provides a collection of Material Design icons for React applications. It is part of the MUI (formerly Material-UI) library, which offers a comprehensive set of components and tools for building user interfaces that adhere to Google's Material Design guidelines. The icons in this package are designed to be easily customizable and can be used in various components, enhancing the visual appeal and usability of applications.

While @mui/icons-material is a popular choice for incorporating icons in React applications, there are alternatives available:

  • @material-ui/icons is the predecessor of the @mui/icons-material package. It offers a similar collection of Material Design icons but is part of the older Material-UI library. If you are maintaining a legacy project that still uses the previous version of Material-UI, you might find @material-ui/icons to be a suitable option. However, for new projects, it is recommended to use @mui/icons-material, as it includes updates and improvements aligned with the latest MUI standards.
  • @mui/icons-material is essentially the same package as mentioned above, but it represents the latest version and enhancements made to the icon library. It provides a more streamlined and modern approach to using Material Design icons in React applications. Developers should prefer this package for new projects to take advantage of the latest features and optimizations.

Documentation

Contributing

The Icons package is updated via a script that reads through Google's Material Icons set and extracts the SVG elements from there. Because of this, we don't accept new icons that diverge from the source.

To update the @mui/icons-material package with the latest Material Icons set, run the following commands:

  1. In the "mui-icons-material" directory, run pnpm src:download
  2. In the "mui-icons-material" directory, run pnpm src:icons
  3. In the root of the Material UI repo, run pnpm docs:mdicons:synonyms
  4. If the number of icons changes significantly, edit the icons/icons.md and material-icons/material-icons.md under docs/data/material/components and update the numbers.

This process is performed by the maintainers on a quarterly basis.
