This lesson covers the complete workflow for implementing SVG icons in blocks. You’ll sanitize SVG files using WordPress plugins, convert them for React compatibility using tools like SVG Playground, and implement them using WordPress’s SVG and Path components from @wordpress/components.
The process involves registering the icon in the block type, transforming HTML SVG syntax to React-compatible JSX, and replacing standard SVG elements with WordPress components for proper accessibility attributes.
This approach ensures icons work correctly in the block editor while following WordPress best practices for accessibility and component usage.
