About this Table with Icons
Icons can significantly speed up comprehension. Instead of reading "PDF Document," a user can instantly recognize a PDF icon. This template shows how to cleanly integrate icons into a table layout. This example uses inline SVG icons, which is a modern, highly recommended approach. SVGs are vector graphics, meaning they scale perfectly to any size without losing quality, are very small in file size, and can be styled directly with CSS (e.g., changing their color).
Key Features:
- Visual Communication: Icons help users process information more quickly than text alone.
- Embedded SVGs: Uses inline SVGs for a self-contained solution. No external font libraries (like Font Awesome) or image files are required.
- Stylable with CSS: SVG icons can have their color, size, and more controlled directly with CSS, just like text.
- Flexible & Versatile: Can be used for representing file types, link types (internal vs. external), status, or actions (edit, delete, view).
Ideal Use Cases:
- File browsers or document management systems.
- Admin tables with "Edit" and "Delete" action icons in each row.
- Displaying a list of social media links with their respective logos.
Dependencies:
None. The SVG icons are embedded directly in the HTML.
