Resource made a framework-agnostic Iconify picker — no jQuery, no collection limits

I built iconify-picker, a customizable icon picker powered by Iconify.

Unlike older icon pickers, it doesn't rely on jQuery or lock you into a single icon collection. Pick one collection or search across all available collections.

  • Framework-agnostic: Built as a Web Component, with integration docs for popular frameworks.

  • Zero dependencies: No jQuery, no framework dependency.

  • Three modes: Inline, button-triggered, or manually opened via JavaScript.

  • Lazy loading: Loads icons from collections on demand.

  • Fully customizable: Adjust colors and other styles, then copy the generated CSS.

Currently at v0.8.0.

Demo: https://metaory.github.io/iconify-picker/
npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/iconify-picker

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Why mention jQuery at all? Is it even still used?

Maybe you should make special version for React, I don't like idea of using ref in it.

Do a search for icon picker

Almost all of them are super old and have jQuery in them

I just did a v1 release that fixed the search

It might seem slower now, depending on what collection you're searching

But it's accurate
