What dashboard-icons is
TypeScript-based icon library distributed via CDN with kebab-case naming conventions, multiple output formats (SVG, PNG, WEBP), and theme variants. Integrates with popular self-hosted dashboards (Homarr, Homepage, Dashy) and supports direct URL linking or local file downloads.

Best use cases
Implementation considerations
- Icon naming is kebab-case; verify the exact service name exists before relying on URLs in production. Use dashboardicons.com search to confirm availability.
- CDN URLs follow strict format conventions (base-url/format/icon-name.format). Dynamic icon construction requires careful string handling to avoid 404s.
- Light/dark variants use `-light` and `-dark` suffixes. Theme-aware applications must conditionally append these suffixes or cache both variants.
- PNG and WEBP are auto-generated at 512px. If different pixel densities are needed, source the SVG and scale client-side or regenerate locally.
- Icon request/approval process runs through dashboardicons.com submission form; GitHub issues are slower. Plan for turnaround time if custom services are missing.
When to avoid it — and what to weigh
- Proprietary or Licensed Icon Requirements — Collection includes third-party brand trademarks. Disclaimer states icons are 'for identification purposes only' and do not imply endorsement. Verify your use case complies with respective brand guidelines.
- Offline-Only or Air-Gapped Environments — Designed for CDN delivery (jsDelivr or GitHub Raw). Offline-first or strictly isolated networks require pre-downloading and hosting locally, adding operational overhead.
- Enterprise Icon Design System Replacement — Dashboard Icons targets specific dashboard/service icon use cases. Not a full design system or general-purpose icon library. Consider Material Icons, Font Awesome, or Feather if broader UI iconography is needed.
- Real-Time Icon Updates Without Deployment — CDN relies on repository pushes and cache invalidation. If you need live icon updates every few minutes, consider embedding custom icon generation or using a more dynamic asset service.

DEV.co evaluation signals
Editorial assessment — not user reviews. Directional, with an explicit confidence level.
| Signal | Assessment |
|---|---|
| Maintenance | Active |
| Documentation | Adequate |
| License clarity | Clear |
| Deployment complexity | Low |
| DEV.co fit | Good |
| Assessment confidence | High |
Icons are static SVG/PNG/WEBP files with minimal inherent security surface. CDN dependency (jsDelivr) introduces third-party trust; if isolation is required, self-host locally. SVG format could theoretically carry embedded scripts; trust the source or validate SVG content before use in sensitive contexts. No mention of security audits or vulnerability disclosure policy.
Alternatives to consider
Material Design Icons / Google Fonts Icons
General-purpose icon library with broader application coverage, official versioning, and enterprise support. Better for non-dashboard UIs; lacks dashboard-specific service icons.
Font Awesome
Popular, well-maintained icon set with free and pro tiers, strong documentation, and icon set versioning. Covers general UI icons; less specialized for self-hosted service dashboards.
Feather Icons
Minimal, clean SVG icon set with consistent design language. Smaller collection; primarily general UI icons, not dashboard/service-specific. Simpler alternative for minimalist dashboards.
