Icons

Vue Bootstrap 5 Icons

Basic usage

You can place icons just about anywhere using the MDBIcon component. Use icon property to define icon name. 

        
            
        <template>
          <MDBIcon icon="camera-retro" />
        </template>
      
        
    
        
            
        <script>
          import { MDBIcon } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';

          export default {
            components: {
              MDBIcon,
            },
          };
        </script>
      
        
    
        
            
        <script setup lang="ts">
          import { MDBIcon } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
        </script>

To increase icon sizes relative to their container, use the size property. It works with xs, sm, lg values (33% increase), and with literal sizes (to scale it from 1x to 10x) 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x. 

        
            
        <template>
          <MDBIcon icon="camera" size="xs" />
          <MDBIcon icon="camera" size="sm" />
          <MDBIcon icon="camera" size="lg" />
          <MDBIcon icon="camera" size="2x" />
          <MDBIcon icon="camera" size="3x" />
          <MDBIcon icon="camera" size="4x" />
          <MDBIcon icon="camera" size="5x" />
          <MDBIcon icon="camera" size="6x" />
          <MDBIcon icon="camera" size="7x" />
          <MDBIcon icon="camera" size="8x" />
          <MDBIcon icon="camera" size="9x" />
          <MDBIcon icon="camera" size="10x" />
        </template>
      
        
    
        
            
        <script>
          import { MDBIcon } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';

          export default {
            components: {
              MDBIcon,
            },
          };
        </script>
      
        
    
        
            
        <script setup lang="ts">
          import { MDBIcon } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
        </script>

To change icon style use iconStyle property. Default style is fas

        
            
        <template>
          <MDBIcon icon="mdb" iconStyle="fab" size="3x" />
        </template>
      
        
    
        
            
        <script>
          import { MDBIcon } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';

          export default {
            components: {
              MDBIcon,
            },
          };
        </script>
      
        
    
        
            
        <script setup lang="ts">
          import { MDBIcon } from 'mdb-vue-ui-kit';
        </script>

You can make all your icons the same width so they can easily vertically align, like in a list or navigation menu.

Add fw property to the MDBIcon component to set one or more icons to the same fixed width. This is great to use when varying icon widths (e.g. a tall but skinny icon atop a wide but short icon) would throw off vertical alignment. For clarity in the following example, we’ve added a background color on the icon so you can see the fixed width and also bumped up the font-size of the parent element.
