Icons-src: Adding Custom Font Icons

Location

packages/salesforcedx-vscode-services/media/icons-src/

SVG Requirements

• viewBox: 0 0 24 24 only (enables better upscaling)
• xmlns: http://www.w3.org/2000/svg
• fill: currentColor on inner <g> so VS Code themes control color
• structure: wrap paths in <g fill="currentColor" transform="scale(X)"> — adjust scale so glyph fits 24×24

External sources (Wikipedia, Illustrator, etc.) may be too complex for font generation. Simplify in vector editor or substitute alternative.

Reference (leaf.svg)

<svg viewBox="0 0 24 24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <g fill="currentColor" transform="scale(0.75)">
    <path d="..."></path>
  </g>
</svg>

Avoid

• Hardcoded fill colors (e.g. fill="#000") — breaks theme support
• viewBox other than 24×24
• Strokes without stroke="currentColor" if used

Workflow

1. Add SVG — media/icons-src/<name>.svg (name = lowercase, no spaces)

2. Add manifest entry — media/icons-src/icons.json:

   "<name>": { "id": "sf-org-<id>", "description": "..." }

3. Run build — npm run build:icons -w salesforcedx-vscode-services (updates contributes.icons in package.json)

4. Add ICONS constant — src/vscode/mediaService.ts and ICON_DESCRIPTION_KEYS; add i18n key in messages if needed

5. Regenerate types — if services-types consumes ICONS, run its generate script

icons.json Format

{
  "leaf": { "id": "sf-org-leaf", "description": "Leaf icon for default scratch org" },
  "tree": { "id": "sf-org-tree", "description": "Tree icon for default dev hub" }
}

• Append new icons (order affects 0xe001, 0xe002, … code point assignments)
• Key = SVG filename without .svg
• id = VS Code icon ID (use sf-org-* for custom icons)
• description = human-readable, used in contributes.icons

Artifacts that change (add/remove)

Artifact	Add	Remove
media/icons-src/<name>.svg	create	delete
media/icons-src/icons.json	add entry	remove entry
package.json → contributes.icons	auto (build:icons)	auto
resources/icons-font/*	auto (build:icons)	auto
src/vscode/mediaService.ts → ICONS, ICON_DESCRIPTION_KEYS	manual	manual
src/messages/* (i18n)	manual if needed	manual
salesforcedx-vscode-services-types (icons.ts)	manual (generate script)	manual

Verification

Run npm run test -w salesforcedx-vscode-services — iconConsistency.test.ts validates SVG ↔ icons.json ↔ contributes.icons ↔ ICONS constant.
