Summary

  • Add non-reflected appearance="outline" | "solid" support to nve-icon.
  • Outline is the default: omit appearance to avoid writing a default attribute to every icon.
  • appearance="solid" resolves the optional name-solid asset when available.
  • Missing solid assets automatically fall back to the base outline asset.
  • appearance="outline" explicitly forces the base outline form.
  • Preserve direct icon names, including existing name="foo-filled" usage.
  • Prevent stale asynchronous SVG requests from overwriting a newer icon or appearance selection.
  • Document the API and add unit coverage.

Testing

  • mise exec -- vitest run src/icon/icon.test.ts

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Icon component now supports outline and solid appearances. Solid assets resolve to -solid names when available and fall back to outline assets. Lookup, listeners, SVG rendering, tests, and documentation cover the resolved behavior. Two Lighthouse thresholds increase slightly.

Changes

Icon appearance support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Appearance resolution and lookup
projects/core/src/icon/icon.ts
Adds the public appearance property and resolves solid asset names with outline fallback.
Runtime updates and asynchronous rendering
projects/core/src/icon/icon.ts
Refreshes registry listeners and SVG loading when name or appearance changes. Ignores stale asynchronous SVG results.
Behavior coverage and documentation
projects/core/src/icon/icon.test.ts, projects/site/src/docs/elements/icon.md
Tests solid rendering, outline fallback, default outline attributes, and stale loads. Documents the appearance property and fallback behavior.

Lighthouse threshold updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Payload threshold validation
projects/media/src/seek-button/seek-button.test.lighthouse.ts, projects/core/src/tag/tag.test.lighthouse.ts
Raises the accepted JavaScript payload limits to below 21.1 KB and below 19.2 KB.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9c4f9

The icon appearance feature may not work through the documented API or resolve the intended solid assets, and late asset registration can leave icons showing the outline fallback. A stale-load test can also contaminate later tests if it fails before cleanup. These concrete issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Listen for a filled asset that becomes available after fallback.

If variant="filled" resolves to the stroke asset because name-filled is absent, this method subscribes only to the stroke event. A later Icon.add({ 'name-filled': ... }) dispatches only the filled event. The component never recomputes #resolvedIconName, so it remains on the stroke asset.

Subscribe filled-variant instances to both the stroke and filled asset events, or dispatch a base-name refresh event when a filled asset is added. Add coverage for this late-registration flow.

For context I think we can skip this for now as Icon.add is primarily used for custom icon registration. This would add a lot more complexity and likely double the event listeners for a small customization use case. I don't think its worth addressing right now due to the performance risk. For consumers who add custom icons we can provide guidance to leverage the registered name instead.

@coryrylan, understood. Icon.add is a custom-registration path, and the late filled-asset upgrade case does not justify additional listeners in this pull request.

Consumers can register and use the explicit filled asset name when they require that behavior. I will keep this as a deferred edge case rather than require a change here.

Learning: In `projects/core/src/icon/icon.ts`, `Icon.add` primarily supports custom icon registration. Do not require additional registry listeners for a `variant="filled"` icon that initially falls back to its stroke asset and later receives a `-filled` asset unless the performance and complexity tradeoff is explicitly accepted. Consumers that require this behavior can register and use the explicit filled asset name.

nit with the API, thinking 'stroke' | 'fill' might be better since it would be a 1:1 mapping of the naming used in svg. Thoughts @johnyanarella ?

This also is a case where I don't think we want to reflect the property since its impact is the loading of the svg not any style hooks. Since icon is a element that is often in repeated templates like grids/trees the reflection can add up in terms of performance.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restore window.fetch when the test fails.

If an awaited operation or assertion fails, line 251 does not run. Later tests then use this mock unexpectedly. Put the test body in try/finally.

Implement the public API specified by the PR objective.

The PR objective requires variant="stroke" | "filled" and optional -filled assets. This change exposes appearance="outline" | "solid" and resolves -solid assets instead. Consumers that use variant="filled" cannot select the requested asset.
