File-specific icons in Atom for improved visual grepping.

Supports the following core packages:

• tree-view
• tabs
• fuzzy-finder
• find-and-replace
• archive-view

An API is offered for packages not listed above. See the integration steps for more info.

Open Settings → Install and search for file-icons.

Alternatively, install through command-line:

apm install --production file-icons

Everything is handled using CSS classes. Use your stylesheet to change or tweak icons.

Consult the package stylesheets to see what classes are used:

• Icons: styles/icons.less
• Colours: styles/colours.less
• Fonts: styles/fonts.less

• File-Icons
• FontAwesome 4.7.0
• Mfizz
• Devicons

.html5-icon:before{
	font-size: 18px;
}

// Resize in tab-pane only:
.tab > .html5-icon:before{
	font-size: 18px;
	top: 3px;
}

.dark-orange   { color: #6a1e05; }
.medium-orange { color: #b8743d; }
.light-orange  { color: #cf9b67; }

.php-icon:before{
	font-family: MFizz;
	content: "\f147";
}

The following examples use attribute selectors to target specific pathnames:

.icon[data-name$=".js"]:before{
	font-family: Devicons;
	content: "\E64E";
}

.directory > .header > .icon{
	&[data-path$=".atom/packages"]:before{
		font-family: "Octicons Regular";
		content: "\f0c4";
	}
}

"Cannot read property 'onDidChangeIcon' of undefined"

A restart is needed to complete installation. Reload the window, or restart Atom.

If this doesn't help, please file an issue.

npm ERR! cb() never called!

There might be a corrupted download in your local cache. Delete ~/.atom/.apm, then try again:

rm -rf ~/.atom/.apm
apm install --production file-icons

It's probably a caching issue. Do the following:

1. Open the command palette: Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P
2. Run file-icons:clear-cache
3. Reload the window, or restart Atom

If language-ethereum is installed, remove it. This is a known issue with the package, which is no longer maintained. For Solidity support, use linter-solidity or language-solidity instead.

If language-ethereum isn't installed, please follow these steps and file an issue.

If you haven't restarted Atom since upgrading to File-Icons v2, do so now.

If restarting doesn't help, your stylesheet probably needs updating. See below.

As of v2.0, classes are used for displaying icons instead of mixins. Delete lines like these from your stylesheet:

-@import "packages/file-icons/styles/icons";
-@import "packages/file-icons/styles/items";
-@{pane-tab-selector},
.icon-file-directory {
	&[data-name=".git"]:before {
-		.git-icon;
+		font-family: Devicons;
+		content: "\E602";
	}
}

Instead of @pane-tab… variables, use .tab > .icon[data-path]:

-@pane-tab-selector,
-@pane-tab-temp-selector,
-@pane-tab-override {
+.tab > .icon {
 	&[data-path$=".to.file"] {
 		
 	}
}

These CSS classes are no longer used, so delete them:

-.file-icons-force-show-icons,
-.file-icons-tab-pane-icon,
-.file-icons-on-changes

Please file an issue. Include screenshots if necessary.

If you're a package author, you can integrate File-Icons using Atom's services API.

First, add this to your package.json file:

"consumedServices": {
	"file-icons.element-icons": {
		"versions": {
			"1.0.0": "consumeElementIcons"
		}
	}
}

Secondly, add a function named consumeElementIcons (or whatever you named it) to your package's main export:

let addIconToElement;
module.exports.consumeElementIcons = function(func){
	addIconToElement = func;
};

Then call the function it gets passed to display icons in the DOM:

let fileIcon = document.querySelector("li.file-entry > span.icon");
addIconToElement(fileIcon, "/path/to/file.txt");

The returned value is a Disposable which clears the icon from memory once it's no longer needed:

const disposable = addIconToElement(fileIcon, "/path/to/file.txt");
fileIcon.onDestroy(() => disposable.dispose());

NOTE: Remember to remove any default icon-classes before calling the service handler!

 let fileIcon = document.querySelector("li.file-entry > span.icon");
+fileIcon.classList.remove("icon-file-text");
 const disposable = addIconToElement(fileIcon, "/path/to/file.txt");

Huge thanks to the following backers who generously sponsored this project in the past:

v1 was originally based on sommerper/filetype-color. v2 was completely rewritten. Both versions owe their success to innumerable contributions from the Atom community.
