inline_svg VS heroicons

The best way to style an SVG icon (which is one of the big advantages of the format, in my opinion) is to embed the SVG in the HTML document (render it inline with the rest of the HTML) and from there apply CSS styles as you might expect. There's a gem called inline_svg that we'll make use of to make that easier.

We start with the toggle button. We want icons for this that we get from heroicons. Let’s create a new file in the ChannelList folder called Icons.tsx and paste the code for the icons here to have a solid separation:

Since we are on the mobile view we want to add a hamburger menu to toggle the links visibility. I am using heroicons. We use some basic react state to know whether or not the hambuger is open, and we conditionally render either the hamburger or an X.

Heroicons are SVG-based icons packaged by the creators of TailwindCSS. They come in two size variants, 20, which is suitable for small buttons and form elements, and a 24 size, that is useful for primary navigation buttons like call to action and hero sections. 24 size comes as solid and outline.

We have to install refine's support packages for React Table and React Hook Form. We are using Tailwind Heroicons for our icons, the Day.js library for time calculations and Recharts library to plot our charts for KPI data. So, run the following and we are good to go:

These depedencies provide unstyled accessible components from headless ui, icons from heroicons and common hooks with typescript support.

To get started with our image modal implementation, i'll assume you already have a React project set up. For UI i’m using Tailwind CSS. But you can use any UI library as your wish. For the image cropping and rotating functionality, we'll be utilizing the react-easy-crop library. This library provides a simple and intuitive way to crop and interact with images and videos within a React component. We will also use the heroicons and classnames libraries in our tutorial. To install all the libraries and their dependencies, open your terminal and navigate to your project's directory. Run the following command:
