[Feature request] Data properties on icon objects

[kreuzerk]

Hi @marco-martins thanks for bringing this up.
What's the use case for this?

Also, where would the data come from - I guess you would pass it to svg-to-ts. Would each icon need to get specific data or would the passed data be the same for all icons?

@marco-martins any news on that?

Hi @kreuzerk It was a long time ago, but I think on the time, my need it was to send specific data to a specific icon.
Basically, I had a folder with a big number of icons and I did a script to generates all, some of the icons I would like the prefix to be las (solid icons), lar (regular icons) and lab (brand icons). The idea was to send that prefix as a parameter, but could be useful to other thinks also.

I find out another way to do it without sending the prefix, I created 3 different folders to do that.

Hi @marco-martins thanks a lot for your answer. I now see your use case.
In version 5.3 we introduced the possibility to add a --config flag to specify a path to a configuration file. With this flag you should be able to create multiple configurations (for example for solid, regular and brand icons).

Since this problem can be solved with the config flag I will close this issue for now. Let me know if you need further support.
