Icon

Display icons using well-defined styles.

Usage

First of all, you need to import the Icon component from the kitchn package.

import { Icon } from "kitchn"

The Icon component has multiple ways to display icons. You can use a SVG Element icon or a link pointing to a SVG file or any image.

For the following examples, we will use the AiFillHome icon from the React Icons library for uses with SVG Element. You can use any icon or library as long as it is a svg element.

Then we will use an image icon from the link /favicon.svg (https://kitchn.tonightpass.com/favicon.svg (opens in a new tab)).
