Semantic vector graphics.

## Icons naming convention

We provide semantic name for every icon, and naming rules are as follows:

- Scanning line icon has the similar name with its solid one，but it's distinguished by `-o`, for example, `question-circle` (a full circle) and `question-circle-o` (an empty circle);
- Naming sequence：`[name]-[shape?]-[outline?]-[direction?]`.

> `?` means is optional.

See more design detail at [here](/docs/spec/icon).

### Icon

| Property | Description | Type | Default |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| type | Type of ant design icon | string | - |
| style | Style properties of icon, like `fontSize` and `color` | CSSProperties | - |
| svgStyle | Inline style to apply to the SVG element | CSSProperties | - |
| svgClassName | Define extra class name for the SVG element | string | - |
| spin | Rotate icon with animation | boolean | false |
| component | The component used for the root node. This will override the **`type`** property. | ComponentType<CustomIconComponentProps\> | - |

All the icons will render to `<svg>`. You can still set `style` and `className` for size and color of icons.

```jsx
<Icon type="message" style={{ fontSize: '16px', color: '#08c' }} />
```

You can import svg icon as an react component by using `webpack` and [`@svgr/webpack`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@svgr/webpack). `@svgr/webpack`'s `options` [reference](https://github.com/smooth-code/svgr#options).

```js
// webpack.config.js
{
  test: /\.svg(\?v=\d+\.\d+\.\d+)?$/,
  use: [
    {
      loader: 'babel-loader',
    },
    {
      loader: '@svgr/webpack',
      options: {
        babel: false,
        icon: true,
      },
    },
  ],
}
```

```jsx
import { Icon } from 'antd';
import MessageSvg from 'path/to/message.svg'; // path to your '*.svg' file.

ReactDOM.render(
  <Icon component={MessageSvg} />,
  mountNode
);
```

  namespace: 'foo', // identifier
  scriptUrl: 'at.alicdn.com/t/font_8d5l8fzk5b87iudi', // generated by iconfont.cn
  prefix: 'icon-',
