react-icon disappeared

I am facing this weird bug in my application. Some of my icons disappear, while inspecting with dev tools the SVGs are there but it doesn't appear in the UI. While trying to figure this out I got the solution but I want to know what coausing this what happens is if I set the size of icon 18 it appears anything below 18 it disappears again <ToolTipIcon size={18} /> this is visible but <ToolTipIcon /> this is not, but its SVG is there in the DOM

To know for sure, it'd be nice to have a snippet where it is being used

IsrarOP•7mo ago

Actually it's not about where I am using it it's happening through out application

Jochem•7mo ago

you're sharing an invocation of a component, without any info about what that component is for all we know, there's a if size < 18 then display: none; in there somewhere this question is unanswerable without more information, like the code that's being run

I am working with React tailwind react-icon and this is happening throughout the application The icon that was working fine because is now not visible So idk what exactly to share am sorry about that Please tell me what part of code should I share

MarkBoots•7mo ago

you could start with showing the svg when it is not visable (inspect element). if we can see what is missing, why might have an idea

IsrarOP•7mo ago

for eg. there should be an icon beside Verified

__ another example

icon beside revenue

IsrarOP•7mo ago

it is working if i decrease the height of it there's no issue but if i decrease the width of it less then 18 it'll disappear

MarkBoots•7mo ago

when i look at the viewbox, it is supposed to be square (0 0 24 24). so instead of only setting the hight, you might also try to set the width

IsrarOP•7mo ago

i am using react-icon package so when we set size to it it sets the both height and width like this

<div className="back-btn self-start">
          <Link
            to={"./.."}
            className="flex items-center gap-4 max-w-fit hover:cursor-pointer"
          >
            <CloseIcon
              size={10}
              color="#3C4852"
              className="border p-2 rounded-lg w-8 h-8"
            />
            <span className="max-sm:hidden"> Close</span>
          </Link>
        </div>

<div className="back-btn self-start">
          <Link
            to={"./.."}
            className="flex items-center gap-4 max-w-fit hover:cursor-pointer"
          >
            <CloseIcon
              size={10}
              color="#3C4852"
              className="border p-2 rounded-lg w-8 h-8"
            />
            <span className="max-sm:hidden"> Close</span>
          </Link>
        </div>

this is one of the examples of how am using this

MarkBoots•7mo ago

can you pase the whole svg code of an icon please.

IsrarOP•7mo ago

from dev tools?

MarkBoots•7mo ago

yep

IsrarOP•7mo ago

<svg stroke="currentColor" fill="currentColor" stroke-width="0" viewBox="0 0 512 512" color="#3C4852" class="border p-2 rounded-lg w-8 h-8" height="10" width="10" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" style="color: rgb(60, 72, 82);"><path d="m289.94 256 95-95A24 24 0 0 0 351 127l-95 95-95-95a24 24 0 0 0-34 34l95 95-95 95a24 24 0 1 0 34 34l95-95 95 95a24 24 0 0 0 34-34z"></path></svg>

IsrarOP•7mo ago

using it here

MarkBoots•7mo ago

it might be the tailwind classes border, padding. (those are included into the size, so there wont be space left)

IsrarOP•7mo ago

it appears when i add overflow: visible;

MarkBoots•7mo ago

what happens if you remove the p-2

IsrarOP•7mo ago

but my doubt is it was working fine when i coded it for the first time and i dont know by when or i did change something all this icon disappeard and now the y do appear if i change some property like this overflow or if i cange the size

IsrarOP•7mo ago

MarkBoots•7mo ago

well, if your icon size is 18px but has the padding (p-2 = 8px), there will only be 2px left to fit the svg

IsrarOP•7mo ago

what should i do in this case should i give height ad width to this insted of padding for breathing space

MarkBoots•7mo ago

or set the size on the svg and put it in a separate element with the padding and border

IsrarOP•7mo ago

<span className="w-8 h-8 border rounded-lg flex items-center justify-center">
              <CloseIcon color="#3C4852" className="  w-6 h-6" />
            </span>

<span className="w-8 h-8 border rounded-lg flex items-center justify-center">
              <CloseIcon color="#3C4852" className="  w-6 h-6" />
            </span>

this works

MarkBoots•7mo ago

yea. or remove w-8 h-8 from the span and use p-2 instead (then you also wont need the flex center)

IsrarOP•7mo ago

this worked thankss!

MarkBoots•7mo ago

no problem. glad it works.

IsrarOP•7mo ago

I'll have to do changes to all these icons that disappeared and am still not clear why it was working before and not now :/

MarkBoots•7mo ago

when you set a size to an element, and you include padding, that padding takes space of that size. so imagine svg is 16x16px padding is 8px (2x for all directions) then 16px - 16px = 0px left for the svg itself

IsrarOP•7mo ago

makes sense

<div className="text-[#6D7486]  text-[10px] flex items-center gap-1">
              <h5>
                Potential revenue
              </h5>
              <ToolTipIcon />
              </div>

<div className="text-[#6D7486]  text-[10px] flex items-center gap-1">
              <h5>
                Potential revenue
              </h5>
              <ToolTipIcon />
              </div>

what about here? @MarkBoots

MarkBoots•7mo ago

for me it works

IsrarOP•7mo ago

this works for me if am settinf the font size = 18px to svg --- if i do flex-grow on svg (without adding the size) this happens

IsrarOP•7mo ago

--- or adding this overflow: visible; works 🥲

MarkBoots•7mo ago

Hard to tell, but you need to try and stay away from styling an svg itself. it can effect everything inside the viewbox. put a span around it.

IsrarOP•7mo ago

got it i'll do that @MarkBoots i got to know another thing please check if this can help you understand this

IsrarOP•7mo ago

when i am inspecting its the same as is the icons are not visible but as soon as i hit thhe responsive button on dev tool all the icons are visible no matter the screen size we select in responsive

IsrarOP•7mo ago

MarkBoots•7mo ago

uhm, not sure. that could be a quirck of the responsive mode of the browser (it only tries to emulate it, it's not exact what a device would do). also maybe the zoom level makes it possible to show up... can not tell, don't know

IsrarOP•7mo ago

so after digging alot ALOT! here's the problem ifi comment this then all the icons work perfectly

Gaming

Programming

react-icon disappeared
