Twig or PHP function

[alinnert]

Is there a chance we can get a Twig or PHP function?

Something you can install with Composer and then call lucide('arrow-right', size: 64, color: '#444444', strokeWidth: 1) or Lucide::icon(...) in PHP, which returns the icon as a string (<svg ...>...</svg>).

A Twig function would be nice but wrapping it yourself is easy enough. And a simple PHP function makes it more versatile.

That would be very helpful for all PHP websites out there.

I don't think this is very feasible to implement while staying framework agnostic, and there are just about a zillion PHP frameworks out there. On the other hand, this feature should be fairly easy to hook into any composer project without too much of a hassle, you just need https://asset-packagist.org/, install npm-asset/lucide-static, and register a Twig function that works something like this:

function lucideIcon(string $name) {
	$path = LUCIDE_ICONS_PATH.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$name.'.svg';
	if (!file_exists($path)) {
		throw new YourCustomException();
		// or return arbitrary "icon not found" markup.
	}
	$svg = file_get_contents($file);
	return new Twig\Markup($svg, 'utf-8');
}

Alright, I actually got it to work. Thank you for pointing me to asset-packagist. I didn't know it until now. I will create a new entry in the "Show and tell" section with more detail.
