It would be nice to get the icon by string for late binding

[ride4sun]

Hello, thank you for this great package.
I using late binding and would like to define Icons by there name like MdiIcons('sword').
That would allow me to define the icons in the domain without the reference of the package and I could create the UI dynamically in run-time.

That is a great idea, I will try this in days.

@ziofat thx thats really cool

[ride4sun]

@ziofat I was just wondering if you found the time to work on it. Is there something I can do?

[ziofat]

@ride4sun Hi, I have published a new version of this package. Check readme to see is that satisfied you.

@ziofat
Thank u. I will try it in the next few day and let u know. Great work.

@ziofat I think a static method would look better like:

MDiIcons.fromString(bloc.iconName)

instead of

MdiIcons()[bloc.iconName])

everything else is static and MdiIcons()[bloc.iconName] would be the only place where you would create an instance. Otherwise awesome!

[ziofat]

I think you are right. I didn't put consideration in this.

Keep in mind that It is still useful to have a map that can be iterated to list or dynamically search icons by text.

In that regard, would it be possible to include the description and aliases as shown on the web page in a similar way?
That would enable users to build icon pickers.

@miguelangel-nubla I do know that aliases exist but they can not be used to access icon in material-design-icon.
I can try to add alias support in example.

[ride4sun]

There could be another static which could returns the Iterator.
