## Bootstrap icons
Bootstrap uses various embedded vector images (in <abbr title="Scalable Vector Graphics">SVG</abbr> format) throughout its Sass source files. Hinode replaces these embedded images with file-based vector images, as the [content security policy]({{< ref "server" >}}) prohibits loading of embedded images. To ensure the images are consistent with the [theme colors]({{< ref "colors" >}}), the images are postprocessed using [Hugo templating]({{< param "links.hugo_templates">}}).
### Build pipeline
Hinodes uses npm and mounted folders to create a flexibile virtual file system that is automatically kept up to date. Review the [overview]({{< ref "overview" >}}) for a detailed explanation. The build pipeline of the Bootstrap icons consists of five steps. It is intertwined with the [styles build process]({{< ref "styles" >}}).
1. Override the inline Bootstrap icon definitions
Replace the default inline icon definitions within the Bootstrap Sass files with references to local vector images. Use the file `assets/scss/common/_icons.scss` to ensure the definitions take precedence over the default Bootstrap values. For example, the following statement updates the value of the `$form-switch-focus-bg-image`:
```scss
$form-switch-focus-bg-image: url("icons/form-switch-focus-bg-image.svg") !default;
```
2. Export the Sass variables
Export the required Sass variables by defining them in the `assets/scss/common/_export.scss` file. Hinode converts the variable names from kebab case to snake case to make them compatible with Hugo's variable naming convention. For example, the css variable `--form-switch-focus-color` is exposed as
`.form_switch_focus_color` to the Hugo templates.
```scss
:hinode-theme {
--form-switch-focus-color: #{$form-switch-focus-color};
}
```
3. Reference the Sass variables within each icon file
Use [Hugo templating]({{< param "links.hugo_templates">}}) to reference the Sass variables for fill colors and stroke colors. For example, the file `assets/icons/form-switch-focus-bg-image.svg` defines the fill color as `{{ .form_switch_focus_color }}`. The entire vector definition is as such:
```html
<svg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' viewBox='-4 -4 8 8'>
<circle r='3' fill='{{ .form_switch_focus_color }}'/>
</svg>
```
4. Process the icon files
Add the local icon files to the `assets/icons` folder with a filename as defined in step 1. The partial `partials/head/stylesheet.html` calls the partial `partials/head/icons.html` to process all icon files with the `.svg` extension recursively. The output is stored in the `icons` folder within the output directory (usually `public` when building the site). The icon files are referenced in the main stylesheet automtically.
### Icons definitions
The icons are defined in the file `assets/scss/common/_icons.scss`. The current configuration is the following:
{{< scss-docs name="icons" file="assets/scss/common/_icons.scss" >}}
### Export definitions
The exported variables are defined in the file `assets/scss/common/_export.scss`. The current configuration is the following:
{{< scss-docs name="export" file="assets/scss/common/_export.scss" >}}
## Font Awesome icons
[Font Awesome]({{< param "links.fontawesome" >}}) provides a collection of icons to be used freely on websites and other media. Hinode bundles the
{{< scss-docs name="awesome" file="assets/scss/app.scss" >}}
`package.json`
"copy:fonts": "shx cp ./node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/webfonts/* ./static/fonts/",
