file-icon-server

Install

npm install file-icon-server

For Windows, the server uses PowerShell to extract icons. Therefore you may need to install powershell.

For Mac, the server uses Swift to extract icons. Therefore if your OS is <10.10 you will need to download the Swift runtime libraries.

Usage

import server from 'file-icon-server'
server.getIcon("my/file/path1")
server.getIcon("my/file/path2")
server.getIcon("my/file/path3")

//Close server
server.stop()

or alternatively if you want initialisation to happen at a different time (usually it starts when getIcon is called for the first time):

import server from 'file-icon-server'
server.start()

//...later...

server.getIcon("my/file/path")

//...later...

server.stop()

Icon is returned as a data url.
