ex_icons_styleguide

This module provides an integration of External-use icons and Styleguide modules.

It will basically gather the external-user icons available on the site and will generate an entry on the available Styleguides.

It can prove to be very useful for the following:

• Developers, as it exposes all the available icons on a single page and can be used to troubleshoot, test and improve the icon libraries.
• Automated tests (i.e: visual regression tests) as it outputs the icons using exactly the same render arrays as the original module and can detect regressions and changes.
• End-users, content editors, product owners and site builders, as it provides a living styleguide of the available options, equals to a self-documentation and can be used for training, deliverables and client QA/reviews
• Designers as it can be used for design reviews and to better communicate between designers and front-end developers

How to use it

This module don't need any configuration or activation (other than enabling the module).

All icons managed by External-user icons will be loaded and its ID will be shown. The origin of the icons could be a svg spritesheet or any other available implementation, see External-use icon for more info.

The styleguides are generated by the Styleguide module and should be enabled by default when using the module. Each theme styleguide can be accesed on the /admin/appearance/styleguide/MY_THEME_NAME route.
