Nerd Icons

Easy access to all nerd font icons in your typst documents
This is my first time working with typst, so this package is very similar to
fontawesome package

Setting up

You need to install a nerd font. See how
On Linux, there is most likely a repo to enable for your distro

On my system, I use Symbols Nerd Font Mono, hence it's the default
If you have installed a different one, you can specify it with #change-nerd-font

Example

#import "@preview/nerd-icons:0.2.0": change-nerd-font
#change-nerd-font("monoid nerd font")

Usage

Import the nf-icon function from this package, and call it with a valid
nerd font icon name, which are found on the nerdfonts website

Example

#import "@preview/nerd-icons:0.2.0": nf-icon
#nf-icon("nf-md-dog")

QoL update: Now, you don't have to specify the prefix (in the example above "nf-md-"),
the library will resolve every possible prefix until it finds one that is valid

Example

#import "@preview/nerd-icons:0.2.0": nf-icon, set-favorite-nf-prefix
#nf-icon("dog") // Will resolve to nf-md-dog
#set-favorite-nf-prefix("fa")
#nf-icon("dog") // Will resolve to nf-fa-dog

#nf-icon("lua") // Will resolve to nf-dev-lua,
                // as fa and md variants don't exist

The processing order for the prefix is:
md, fa, dev, cod, linux, oct, weather, fae, seti, custom, ple, pom, pl, iec
(they are in order from most to least icons)

Each icon is also defined as a constant that you can use directly

Example

#import "@preview/nerd-icons:0.2.0": *
#nf-md-dog()

Any additional arguments to either two functions will be passed to the text
function. If you want a blue dog, do #nf-md-dog(fill: blue)

Because of how typst works, referencing a mutable value in a function
makes it so the return value is content, which isn't always ideal
The function nf-icon-string returns the utf-16 character as
a string, although without taking in account your favorite prefix
