Laravel Blade Icons Stable Release

Blade Icons is a package to easily make use of SVG icons in your Laravel Blade views. This week, creator Dries Vints released the first stable version (1.0.0), which is a huge milestone for this project!

With the release of 1.0 stable, here are some features added in the stable release since we covered the Blade UI kit launch of 0.1:

• Caching - new caching command to cache icons
• Default Icon Component - generic component to render blade icons
• Filesystem Disks - load icons from different filesystems
• Fallback icons - define which icon to render (per set) when the icon cannot be found
• Multiple Icon Paths - you can configure and organize icons in multiple paths
• Default Attributes - define some attributes added to every icon

A much-requested feature for this package is a default icon component. Here's an example from the docs:

{{-- Camera icon component --}}

<x-icon-camera/>

{{-- Default icon component rendering the camera component --}}

<x-icon name="camera"/>

Along with Blade Icons 1.0.0, Blade Heroicons and Blade Zondicons were received a stable 1.0.0 release. This package requires Laravel 8 and either PHP 7.4 or 8.0.
