Custom Icon Library in 8.3

Ignition 8.3 Early Access
2

Okay, here's the current steps.

  1. Navigate to your install directory, and in the /data/config/resources/core/ folder, create a new folder com.inductiveautomation.perspective/ (if it doesn't already exist).

  2. Within that folder create an icons/ folder.

  3. Within that folder create a <repository name>/ folder.

  4. Within that folder, create:

    • The spritesheet of your SVG, at whatever arbitrary filename you want, e.g. icons.svg.
    • A config.json file that contains a single entry, svgFileName, that contains the same name (icons.svg or whatever else you chose)
      {
 "svgFileName": "icons.svg"
}
    • A resource.json file that references both config.json and your custom icons SVG:
      {
    "scope": "A",
    "version": 1,
    "restricted": false,
    "overridable": true,
    "files": [
        "config.json",
        "icons.svg"
    ],
    "attributes": {
    }
}

  5. Restart the gateway (or POST the /data/api/v1/scan/config endpoint) to pick up the changed resource.
