Change the icon of dropdown

Topic: Change the icon of dropdown

Palak@tru free asked 5 years ago

https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/react/components/dropdowns/ In this dropdown component, I want to provide my own image in place of the drop-down icon provided by the library . I want to provide the file path from the project to the icon. Also, I have asked about providing a file path to MDBIcon earlier, which hasn't been answered yet . How to achieve that?

Hi <a href="/profile/?id=66894" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">@Palak@tru</a>,

Can you test my code?

<pre class="prettyprint"><code>import React from 'react';
import {
 MDBDropdown,
 MDBDropdownToggle,
 MDBDropdownMenu,
 MDBDropdownItem,
 MDBIcon
} from 'mdbreact';

const DropdownPage = () => {
 return (
 <MDBDropdown>
 <MDBDropdownToggle color='primary'>
 With My custom Icon <MDBIcon fab icon='angellist' className='ml-2' />
 </MDBDropdownToggle>
 <MDBDropdownMenu basic>
 <MDBDropdownItem><MDBIcon fab icon='angellist' className='ml-2' /></MDBDropdownItem>
 <MDBDropdownItem>Another Action <MDBIcon fab icon="angrycreative" /></MDBDropdownItem>
 <MDBDropdownItem>Something else here <MDBIcon icon="award" /></MDBDropdownItem>
 <MDBDropdownItem divider />
 <MDBDropdownItem>Separated link</MDBDropdownItem>
 </MDBDropdownMenu>
 </MDBDropdown>
 );
};

export default DropdownPage;
</code></pre>

It looks like this <img src="https://usercontent.mdbootstrap.com/mdb-images/support/c1b96fce-b451-4dca-b84e-fc13985426d3-screenshot_4.jpg" alt="Dropdown with iscons" title="">

Why you need path to <code>MDBIcon</code> file?

If you don't know how to use <code>MDBIcon</code> please check this <a href="https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/react/content/icons-usage/" target="_blank">documentation</a> and <a href="https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/react/content/icons-list/" target="_blank">here</a> you can find a list of icons.
Can you also send me a link to your issue with the icons?

Best regards, Konrad.

I want to add an image of the icon from the third library, the path of which is stored in my asset folder . Generally, it is working when I use the icon from the MDB library. But I want to provide the path from my folder . How to achieve that?

Did you check my answer in this issue, Provide file path to icon?

I think the easiest way to add own custom icon to button or something is to add this with css styles and background-image property.

Please refer to the above problem. I think the way is right for your needs.

Best regards, Konrad.
