Those are both looking like super nice Components! :smiley:

Are you planning on publishing those once the we have the store built into Elements?

Hi @dan,

I tried today to see how far I can go. With 10.000 Icons I crashed the dev-pack. So would be interesting to know how to get that in more solid or if a different approach would be better.

But yeah all good.

Thanks
Nicolas

Oh boy, now why would you go and do a thing like that?! :rofl:

Can you send us the sample dev pack so we can test and see what’s going on?

I think I know what happens. If you put in your template for each symbol an includeif, you should not be surprised. But yeah just made me wonder how to start a bigger collection of icons and then let them be selected. I got 10.000 cleaned svg icons with fill, hover and opacity options. But no idea how to add those to a library to make them available.

As I remember @include or @include does not accept variables as input name for the file. If thats the case then I can construct the importing file name dynamically.

So what I did for the SVG Selectior. I generated a variable abcIcon which is true or false based on the selections of the props and then had a @includeif(abcIcon, template: abcIcon, ...props), One symbol = One @includeid

Rest was just test when I get to hit the limit. Just thinking about the use case.

We’ll have to have a think on the best way to handle this as it’s a tricky problem because Elements currently monitors all files in a dev-pack, and macOS can only handle so many :thinking:

Yeah that might be something for a seperate later discussion. Also you wont want to have all files uploaded, just because you are using 1 of them.

I just wanted to throw the scenario in the room. For me I wont need all those icons. I just have a back with my most commonly used once.

Yes, exactly! We had a brief discussion about this internally this morning and have some ideas on how we could do it :blush:
