An ASP.NET Core Tag Helper for GitHub's Octicon icon set.

1. Install via NuGet

Install-Package Octicons.TagHelper

2. Add the tag helper to your view or _ViewImports.cshtml to access from any view.

@addTagHelper *, Octicons.TagHelper

To render a symbol, use the <octicon> tag.

If you want to optimize your page size, use the sprite sheet tag helper.

1. Add this to your layout page

<octicon-sprite-sheet></octicon-sprite-sheet>

2. Add attribute use-sprite to the octicon tag. This will reference the svg path in the sprite sheet

<octicon symbol="Octoface" use-sprite></octicon>

You can go a step further and use the <include> tag to define only those icons that you actually use.

<octicon-sprite-sheet>
    <include symbol="Lock"></include>
    <include symbol="Package"></include>
</octicon-sprite-sheet>

The above markup will create an svg tag with Lock and Package being the only icons on your page.
