Ionic beta14 icons v 2.0.3 with animations

[jcimoch]

Hi , I have updated ionic to beta 14 as well icons to 2.0.3(I copied all font and scss files to a proper catalog) and since then animated icons disappeared. For example icon="ion-loading-a" isn’t visible but icon="ion-load-a" is. am I something missing ? or just animated icons are no longer supported in beta14 ?

It appears they are working on the animated icons. See this topic: Newest ionicons

Newest ionicons

Yes we dropped animated font icons (too many problems with different browsers displaying/animating fonts differently). Instead, we will be creating a separate repo or “pack” full of various SVG loading spinners, all of which will not be part of a font. This is just a much better solution.

Beta14 will not be updating to the latest version of ionicons. It will be referencing the previous version, which can be found here. The next release will be include the new loading spinners and use ionicons 2.0.

Hope that clears up any confusion!

I’m not sure what do you mean “It appears they are working on the animated icons.” Do I have to move back to old icons ? or there is somewhere animated icon pack ? Good to know that in final release there will be svg pack

Beta 14 is currently using the old icons (version 1.5.2). They are working on adding animated icons for the next release of Ionic (according to Ben’s post above), and the next version of Ionic should be the first non-beta release. That’s all I know on this, sorry.

So, if you want to use the animated icons you should use the old version of the icons. The CSS file for beta 14 is referencing the old icons, anyways.
