Adds an icon picker to the edit form of any Drupal config entity — node types, taxonomy vocabularies, menus, media types, custom config entities — and stores the chosen icon as a third-party setting on the entity itself.
Built on top of Drupal core's Icon API (11.1+) via the contributed UI Icons module, so any registered icon pack works out of the box: Lucide, Bootstrap Icons, Font Awesome, Iconify, custom SVG packs — pick from whichever you've installed.
Replaces the need for per-entity-type icon modules (node_type_icon, taxonomy_term_icon, …) with a single, generic mechanism that works for every existing config entity type and every future one without code changes.
Features
- Any config entity — admin picks which entity types get the picker via a settings page
- Any icon pack — works with all Icon API providers (Lucide, Bootstrap Icons, Font Awesome, custom packs)
- Third-party setting storage — no schema changes, no new fields, icon travels with the entity's config
- Lightweight resolver service —
config_entity_icon.resolverfor reading + rendering icons from PHP - Auto-placement in existing forms — integrates with the
additional_settingsvertical tab when present - Fully OOP — modern PHP 8.3+, no procedural hooks, attribute-based registration
