Icon Helper is a Discord bot made specifically to search icons.

Why did you create this bot?

Well, to answer the question, I need to tell you a story. While I am new designing in Figma, I find copy and pasting icons between drafts really annoying. Thus I lost motivation on designing UI because of it. I think I found a solution. I had a thought that I can find icons through Discord, and copy the icon from it without having a hassle switching between drafts. I spent a day to implement this bot, and here it is.

Features

• Easy-to-use bot
• It has autocomplete
• You can find different variant from 1 icon

Hosting the bot

NOTE: This tutorial assumes that you have node.js installed in your device.

1. Clone the repo using git

   $ git clone https://github.com/Loominagit/icon-helper
   

   or download the repo if you have problems cloning the repo.
2. Install the required dependency by running npm i
3. Create a new .env file and copy the following block:

   TOKEN=<your discord bot token>
   CLIENT=<your bot CLIENT ID, not APPLICATION ID>
   

4. Deploy the commands by running node deploy-commands.js, and run node index.js to run the bot.

Fetching the icon pack repos

If you somehow lose your icons folder (or just want to update the icon packs), simply run node fetch-icons.js.

Supported Icon Packs

This bot currently only supports Fluent Icons, at least for now. If you have icon packs that we can add here, you can open a new issue and link the icon pack there.

Credits

I used Fluent Icons (Icons and Search) for the bot profile. I do not own those assets.
