@PKief what is the timeline on this feature request 🎈😄

As we also got the issue #1327 I also have a use case for this, but there's no timeline for this feature request yet. I was wondering if it's also possible to install the icons via Github dependency like this:

"dependencies" : {
  "vscode-material-icon-theme" : "git://github.com/pkief/vscode-material-icon-theme.git#bf4eab6fd200aa00b05aeb70ada2543806869a8d"
}

Then you'll get something like this and the icons can be loaded from the node_modules:

You can also use this to always install the latest version of the repository:

"dependencies" : {
  "vscode-material-icon-theme" : "git://github.com/pkief/vscode-material-icon-theme.git"
}

I mean, an own npm package would be a little bit better, but until we'll have one, this could be a temporary solution.

@PKief Yes this is a great temporary solution but is there possibility to move them to a specific directory like: <application-name>resources/views/vendor/vscode-material-icon-theme

Oh wait I can just reference each icon from the node modules folder.

The icon pack is now officially available as npm package 🎉
