Ionic Icon

Icons are an important visual element of any mobile application, providing users with an intuitive way to navigate and interact with the app. In Ionic, icons can be easily added and customized using the built-in Ionicons library.

Syntax

To use an Ionicons icon in Ionic, simply add the following HTML tag and replace "ios-add-circle" with the name of the specific icon you want to use:

<ion-icon name="ios-add-circle"></ion-icon>

You can customize the size of the icon using the size attribute, like this:

<ion-icon name="ios-add-circle" size="large"></ion-icon>

Example

Here is an example of how to use Ionicons in an Ionic application:

<ion-header>
  <ion-toolbar>
    <ion-title>

    </ion-title>
  </ion-toolbar>
</ion-header>

<ion-content>

  <ion-icon name="ios-add-circle"></ion-icon>
  <ion-icon name="ios-remove-circle"></ion-icon>
  <ion-icon name="ios-close-circle"></ion-icon>
</ion-content>
