Icon

Vector glyph from a set.

#Contract

Vector glyph from a set. This is the archetype's identity: a component that keeps it is a Icon on every target, however differently each one draws it. Its content category is a phrase, which decides where it may sit and what it may contain.

#Anatomy

Icon publishes no anatomy of its own: a component starting from it is one root part the author shapes.

#Behaviours

No behaviours: Icon is presentation only.

#Realization

No target declares a divergent realization: every target draws the same anatomy with its own primitives.

What the React target does with it
The React generator realizes every archetype the prelude defines, and its output is typechecked against the real React types for each one on every change. Where a part or a constraint cannot be expressed, the generator reports it rather than approximating.

#Start from it

A component that starts from Icon, before the author touches it: the root and the published anatomy, each part with the kind its role gives it. Paste it into a file, or open it in the Playground, and add the contract, the tokens and the states.

Every statement a part can carry is in the reference; the tour shows the arc from archetype to generated code.
