As the title says, I am trying to add some custom svgs that I downloaded from https://simpleicons.org/ I have put my icons in a folder called icons in the assets directory in my application. I have then injected the MatIconRegistry and DomSanitizer and added the svg like this:
constructor(
private matIconRegistry: MatIconRegistry,
private domSanitizer: DomSanitizer
) {
this.matIconRegistry.addSvgIcon(
'facebook',
this.domSanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl(
'/assets/icons/facebook.svg'
)
);
this.matIconRegistry.addSvgIcon(
'google',
this.domSanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl(
'/assets/icons/google.svg'
)
);
this.matIconRegistry.addSvgIcon(
'twitter',
this.domSanitizer.bypassSecurityTrustResourceUrl(
'/assets/icons/twitter.svg'
)
);
}
I have done this in the AppComponent. In another component I am trying to use these icons. I have done this:
<div class="form-group">
<button class="btn-block" type="button" color="secondary" mat-flat-button>
<mat-icon>twitter</mat-icon> Continue with
facebook
</button>
</div>
<div>
<button class="btn-block" type="button" color="secondary" mat-flat-button>
<mat-icon>twitter</mat-icon> Continue with
google
</button>
</div>
But no icons are being shown. I figured adding to the AppComponent would allow the icons to be used anywhere. Is this a bad assumption?
