config_entity_icon

No security coverage
View on drupal.org

Adds an icon picker to the edit form of any Drupal config entity — node types, taxonomy vocabularies, menus, media types, custom config entities — and stores the chosen icon as a third-party setting on the entity itself.

Built on top of Drupal core's Icon API (11.1+) via the contributed UI Icons module, so any registered icon pack works out of the box: Lucide, Bootstrap Icons, Font Awesome, Iconify, custom SVG packs — pick from whichever you've installed.

Replaces the need for per-entity-type icon modules (node_type_icon, taxonomy_term_icon, …) with a single, generic mechanism that works for every existing config entity type and every future one without code changes.

Features

  • Any config entity — admin picks which entity types get the picker via a settings page
  • Any icon pack — works with all Icon API providers (Lucide, Bootstrap Icons, Font Awesome, custom packs)
  • Third-party setting storage — no schema changes, no new fields, icon travels with the entity's config
  • Lightweight resolver service — config_entity_icon.resolver for reading + rendering icons from PHP
  • Auto-placement in existing forms — integrates with the additional_settings vertical tab when present
  • Fully OOP — modern PHP 8.3+, no procedural hooks, attribute-based registration

Requirements

Usage

After installation:

  1. Visit Administration » Configuration » User interface » Config Entity Icon
  2. Tick the entity types you want to receive an icon picker (e.g. Content type, Taxonomy vocabulary, Menu)
  3. Edit any entity of an enabled type — an Icon picker appears on the form
  4. Render the chosen icon in any template or PHP via the config_entity_icon.resolver service
