Instead of using SVG icons, using an icon library simplifies the code. You can uses <A href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/svelte-heros-v2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Svelte-Heros-v2</A> and <A href="https://svelte-svg-icons.vercel.app/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">other icon sets</A> for Flowbite-Svelte.

Svelte-Heros-v2 icons allow you to change the icon color, size, and other props.

<Htwo label="Installation" />

```sh
npm i -D svelte-heros-v2
```

<Htwo label="Color and size" />

If you want to change the color with Tailwind CSS, add it in the class prop. To change the icon size use the `size` prop or use class like, `class="h-24 w-24"`.

Use `dark:` to specify the dark mode color for icons.


```html
<script>
import {
  AdjustmentsVertical,
  Bell,
  Briefcase,
  Ticket,
  ChartBarSquare,
  Camera,
  ChevronLeft,
} from "svelte-heros-v2";
</script>

<AdjustmentsVertical size="30" class="text-blue-700 dark:text-red-700" />
<Bell size="30" class="text-red-700 dark:text-green-700" />
<Briefcase  size="30" class="text-green-700 dark:text-indigo-700" />
<ChartBarSquare size="30" class="text-purple-700 dark:text-pink-700" />
<Ticket size="30" class="text-pink-700 dark:text-indigo-700" />
<Camera size="30" class="text-indigo-700 dark:text-gray-100" />
<ChevronLeft
  size="30" class="text-yellow-700 dark:text-white"
/>
```

You can change icon colors with HEX color code by using the `color` prop.


```html
<AdjustmentsVertical size="30"  color="#ff0000" />
<Bell   color="#10ff00" />
<Briefcase  size="30" color="#001dff" />
```

<Htwo label="Aria label" />

Use the `aria-label` prop to change `aria-label` attribute. All icons have aria-label. For example, `Adjustments` has `aria-label="adjustments"`.

```html
<AdjustmentsVertical aria-label="adjustments icon" />>
```

<Htwo label="Passing down other attributes" />

You can pass other attibutes as well.

```html
<AdjustmentsVertical tabindex="0" />
```

<Htwo label="Import all" />

Use import * as Icon from `svelte-heros-v2`.

```html
<script>
	import * as Icon from 'svelte-heros-v2';
</script>

<Icon.Cog />
<Icon.Calendar />

<h1>Size</h1>

<Icon.CircleStack size="30" />
<Icon.Funnel size="40" />

<h1>CSS HEX color</h1>
<Icon.Bookmark color="#c61515" size="40" />

<h1>Tailwind CSS</h1>
<Icon.ShoppingCart class="text-blue-500" />
<Icon.Users class="text-pink-700" />
```
