.Net Maui Icons

The .NET MAUI Icons - Material Sharp library serves as a lightweight icon library, addressing icon and font icon management in .NET MAUI by offering controls that utilize the comprehensive open-source version of the Material Icon Collection, seamlessly integrated into the library. Check out the Repository for Docs

Get Started

In order to use the .NET MAUI Icons - Material you need to call the extension method in your MauiProgram.cs file as follows:

using MauiIcons.Material.Sharp;

public static class MauiProgram
{
	public static MauiApp CreateMauiApp()
	{
		var builder = MauiApp.CreateBuilder();
		
		// Initialise the .Net Maui Icons - Material
		builder.UseMauiApp<App>().UseMaterialSharpMauiIcons();
	}
}

Table of Contents

Usage

In order to make use of the .Net Maui Icons - Material Sharp you can use the below namespace:

Xaml

xmlns:mi="http://www.aathifmahir.com/dotnet/2022/maui/icons"

C#

using MauiIcons.Material.Sharp;

Advanced Settings

You can set the default icon size, font override, and default font auto-scaling using the UseMauiIconsCore builder extension as follows:

builder.UseMauiIconsCore(x => 
{
	x.SetDefaultIconSize(30.0);
	x.SetDefaultFontOverride(true);
	x.SetDefaultFontAutoScaling(true);
})

Workaround

if you came across this issue dotnet/maui#7503 when using new namespace, Make sure to create an discarded instance of MauiIcon in the codebehind like below


    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        // Temporary Workaround for url styled namespace in xaml
        _ = new MauiIcon();
    }

Built in Control Usage

Xaml

<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:MaterialSharp AddRoad}"/>

C#

new MauiIcon() {Icon = MaterialSharpIcons.AddRoad, IconColor = Colors.Green};

new MauiIcon().Icon(MaterialSharpIcons.ABC).IconColor(Colors.Purple);

All the Properties and Features of Built in Control, Check Here

Xaml Extension Usage

<Image Aspect="Center" mi.MauiIcon.Value="{mi:MaterialSharp Icon=ABC}"/>

<Button mi.MauiIcon.Value="{mi:MaterialSharp Icon=AddRoad}"/>

<ImageButton mi.MauiIcon.Value="{mi:MaterialSharp Icon=AddRoad}"/>

C# Markup Usage

new ImageButton().Icon(MaterialSharpIcons.AddRoad),

new Image().Icon(MaterialSharpIcons.ABC),

new Button().Icon(MaterialSharpIcons.AddRoad).IconSize(40.0).IconColor(Colors.Red)

Disclaimer: It's important to note that not all controls are compatible with C# markup. We have conducted tests with the following controls in the current release: Label, Image, ImageButton, SearchBar, Editor, and Entry. Additionally, the native MauiIcon control, when combined with C# markup, can prove to be quite versatile and offer extra features for various scenarios.

Applying Icon To Text or Placeholder

Controls that Supports Placeholder, Can Assign the Icon To PlaceHolder or Text, Defaults to Placeholder but can be set to Text by Setting TargetName Parameter to Text

xaml

<Entry mi:MauiIcon.Value="{mi:MaterialSharp Icon=ABC, TargetName='Text'}"/>

<SearchBar mi:MauiIcon.Value="{mi:MaterialSharp Icon=AddRoad, TargetName='Placeholder'}"/>

C#

new Entry().Icon(MaterialSharpIcons.ABC, isPlaceHolder: false).IconSize(20.0).IconColor(Colors.Aqua);

new SearchBar().Icon(MaterialSharpIcons.AddRoad, isPlaceHolder: false);

Disclaimer: It's important to note that not all controls are compatible with C# markup. We have conducted tests with the following controls in the current release: Label, Image, ImageButton, SearchBar, Editor, and Entry. Additionally, the native MauiIcon control, when combined with C# markup, can prove to be quite versatile and offer extra features for various scenarios.

OnPlatform and OnIdiom Usage

Xaml

<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:MaterialSharp AddRoad}" OnPlatforms="WinUI, Android, MacCatalyst"/>
<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:MaterialSharp ABC}" OnIdioms="Desktop, Phone, Tablet"/>
<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:MaterialSharp AddRoad}" OnPlatforms="Android" OnIdioms="Phone"/>

C#

new MauiIcon().Icon(MaterialSharpIcons.AddRoad).OnPlatforms(new List<string>{"WinUI", "Android"});
new MauiIcon().Icon(MaterialSharpIcons.ABC).OnIdioms(new List<string>{"Desktop", "Phone"});
new MauiIcon().Icon(MaterialSharpIcons.AddRoad).OnPlatforms(new List<string>{"WinUI", "Android"}).OnIdioms(new List<string>{"Desktop", "Phone"});

Breaking Changes

Version 3 to 4

  • Icon won't be applied to the Controls like Entry, SearchBar and etc.. by default Instead v4 would throw an Exception, Need to set FontOverride to true to apply the Icon to these Controls on Builder Extension Level or Control Level
    • This Behavior can be reverted to Behavior of v3 by Using new UseMauiIconsCore Builder Extension and using SetDefaultFontOverride Method like Below
	builder.UseMauiIconsCore(x => 
	{
		x.SetDefaultFontOverride(true);
	})
  • Icon Size is Now Set to Control's FontSize by Default, Previously it was set to 30.0 by Default
    • This Behavior can be reverted to Behavior of v3 by Using new UseMauiIconsCore Builder Extension and using SetDefaultIconSize Method like Below
	builder.UseMauiIconsCore(x => 
	{
		x.SetDefaultIconSize(30.0);
	})

Version 2 to 3

Nuget Package Changes

Version 1 to 2

Old (v1)

xmlns:MaterialSharp="clr-namespace:MauiIcons.MaterialSharp;assembly=MauiIcons.MaterialSharp"

<MaterialSharp:MauiIcon Icon="ABC"/>

New (v2)

xmlns:mi="http://www.aathifmahir.com/dotnet/2022/maui/icons"

<mi:MauiIcon Icon="{mi:MaterialSharp ABC}"/>

New Changes in v4

  1. We have a new way of Assigning/Setting Icons, Introducing New Attached Property for Icons, The new AttachedProperty Brings in Support for Triggers, Behaviors, Styles, etc.. which is lacking on Classic Xaml Markup Extension, and also it's more cleaner and readable
/// Old
<Image Aspect="Center" Source="{mi:MaterialSharp Icon=AddRoad}"/>

// New
<Image Aspect="Center" mi.MauiIcon.Value="{mi:MaterialSharp Icon=AddRoad}"/>

Disclaimer: The Old Xaml Markup Extension is still Supported and can be used, but it's recommended to use the new Attached Property for better support and readability and we have plans to deprecate the old Xaml Markup Extension in the future in favor of Attached Property

Example of Using Styles

<Style x:Key="ButtonStyle" TargetType="Button">
       <Setter Property="mi:MauiIcon.Value" Value="{mi:MaterialSharp Icon=ABC}" />
</Style>

<Button Style="{StaticResource ButtonStyle}"/>
  1. Introducing New UseMauiIconsCore Builder Extension for Setting Default Icon Size, Font Override, Default Font Auto Scaling and etc..
  2. Improved Built in OnPlatforms and OnIdioms with Binding Improvements and Enhanced Performance
  3. New OnClickAnimation Support for MauiIcon Control
