Block description

Use the icon block to create the auxiliary graphical element in other blocks.

The block is adapted to align with the baseline.

To create an independent image, use the image block.

The icon block could be declared through specific modifiers. For the examples below we implement modifiers on the service level called test.blocks of bem-components library.

{
    block : 'icon',
    mods : { social : 'twitter' }
}

{
    block : 'button',
    text : 'Download',
    mods : { theme : 'islands', size : 'm' },
    icon : {
        block : 'icon',
        mods : { action : 'download' }
    }
}
