## Libraries

This repository contains several libraries. Each of them is in the `lib/` folder and gives access to Octicons on a different platform/language.

### JavaScript

The octicons node.js library is the main JavaScript library. With [a JavaScript API](/lib/octicons_node/README.md) that can be used in a variety of applications.

## Icon names and compatibility

The shape-based `triangle`, `triangle-circle`, and `triangle-fill` names follow the `square` family. Each provides 16px and 24px artwork. `git-pull-request-unlisted` provides 16px artwork.

| Canonical name    | Compatibility name             | Preserved behavior                                                          |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `bookmark-fill`   | `bookmark-filled` (deprecated) | The old name retains its 16px drawing at every display size.                |
| `repo-delete`     | `repo-deleted` (deprecated)    | The old name retains its 16px drawing at every display size.                |
| `triangle-circle` | `play` (supported)             | The old name retains both original circled drawings, not the bare triangle. |

Compatibility names retain their exports, CSS classes, symbol IDs, and published `build/svg` paths. An `aliasOf` property identifies the canonical name in icon data; `deprecated: true` separately marks a deprecated alias. Catalogues can filter `aliasOf` entries without removing legacy lookups.

The canonical `bookmark-fill` and `repo-delete` names now provide both natural sizes. JavaScript and Ruby helpers retain their existing 24px output when callers omit width and height; an explicit 16px request selects the 16px drawing.
