How to update ods-icon font?

The ods-icon font is managed through icomoon.

1. Update the font files and the selection:

• go to the icomoon app: https://icomoon.io/app/#/projects
• click on Import Project and select the selection.json file located in assets/fonts/ods-icon/icomoon
• add/remove/update the icons you want
• click on Generate Font on the bottom, double check that all icons and names are correct, then click on Download
• unzip the downloaded file and copy all files from its fonts subdirectory plus the selection.json into assets/fonts/ods-icon/icomoon

2. Transform into base64:

As we can't provide the font from an external source for now, we have to embed it in the css. We'll use only the .woff file.

To get the base64 value, run the following HTML/JS code in some editor (local or like codepen):

<input type="file" onchange="base64convert(this.files)">

function base64convert(files) {
  const reader = new FileReader()
  reader.onload = (e) => {
    navigator.clipboard.writeText(e.target.result || '');
  }
  reader.readAsDataURL(files[0])
}

Select the .woff file and the base64 value will be automatically available into your clipboard.

Edit the assets/fonts/ods-icon/index.scss file with the value from your clipboard:

$icomoon-base64: url(<copy_your_value_here>);

3. Build the project

Run npm run build:prod at the root of the project.

The new font is now available for other projects to use.

4. Update ods-icon

Depending on your changes, you may need to go update the ods-icon component constants with the updated values.

You'll find the value of each icon content in the style.css file in the icomoon extracted directory previously downloaded.

/!\ Some component are using icon content directly, you need to double check if your changes did not broke anything for those. (you can found them using a search on @include icon.ods-icon(); in the ods/src/components directory)

/!\ Please check also the icon tags list on the storybook icon story (storybook/stories/components/icon/icon.stories.ts).

How to update theme generated variables?

In each themes, there is a list of variables that comes from FIGMA. This list is generated and should not be updated manually.

If some changes have been done on the FIGMA side, you can sync those back using the design-tokens workflow on the CI tool.

At the end of the workflow you can download the generated archive and replace the _variables.scss file content with the newly generated list.

/!\ The list may not be correctly sorted, so you may need to manually reorder it.
