How to Use Color to Fill an Svg Icon In Tailwind Css?

7 minutes read

To use color to fill an SVG icon in Tailwind CSS, you can apply a fill color to the SVG element directly in your HTML code. You can achieve this by adding a fill-{color} class to the SVG element where {color} represents the color you want to use.


For example, if you want to fill an SVG icon with a red color, you can add a fill-red class to the SVG element like this:

1
2
3
4
5
<svg class="fill-red" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round">
  <circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10"/>
  <line x1="12" y1="16" x2="12" y2="12"/>
  <line x1="12" y1="8" x2="12" y2="8"/>
</svg>


By adding the fill-red class, the SVG icon will be filled with a red color. You can replace red with any Tailwind CSS color class to change the fill color of the SVG icon.

In the above code snippet, the text-blue-500 class is used to fill the SVG icon with a blue color. You can replace blue-500 with any other Tailwind CSS color utility class to change the fill color of the SVG icon.


What is the recommended approach for styling svg icons in Tailwind CSS?

To style SVG icons in Tailwind CSS, it is recommended to use the stroke-current and fill-current utility classes provided by Tailwind CSS. These classes allow you to easily set the stroke and fill colors of SVG icons using the current text color.


Here is an example of how you can style an SVG icon using the stroke-current and fill-current classes:

1
2
3
<svg class="w-6 h-6 stroke-current text-black fill-current text-red-500" viewBox="0 0 24 24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <path d="M12 2C6.48 2 2 6.48 2 12s4.48 10 10 10 10-4.48 10-10S17.52 2 12 2zm0 16c-3.31 0-6-2.69-6-6s2.69-6 6-6 6 2.69 6 6-2.69 6-6 6zm-2-9h4v4H10v-4z"/>
</svg>


In this example, the stroke-current class is used to set the stroke color of the SVG icon to the current text color (black by default), and the fill-current class is used to set the fill color of the SVG icon to the current text color (text-red-500 in this case).


By using these utility classes, you can easily style SVG icons in Tailwind CSS without the need for custom CSS.
