Syntax for use

[simonh1000]

Would be great to have a couple of hints on syntax: e.g. <material-icon icon="icons/ic_access_time_24px.svg"></material-icon> does not work :-(

Yep, i'm wondering how to use this yet....

Give the url for any .svg file in the icon attribute.. :)

Well, here I've prepared a fiddle trying to get this working, but I couldn't.
Can you help me with this?
What is missing?

You only need to direct the icon to the right url..

@wesleycoder You need the directive to be in a working angular app..

yeah I looked at the example in the demo site, I should've paid more attention to that. thanks anyway :)

I've updated the Plunkr, (sorry about the fist, something with the save)...

This one has everything to run angular-material but the icon is placed in full width... no css is aplied...

The <material-icon> [in its current functionality] can only be used to display SVG(s); it uses the object element and references an external SVG file. This approach is currently the most popular way to add SVG to a page served up as HTML.

@see Using SVGs

The icon attribute is transposed and assigned to the data attribute in <object data="">. As such, the <material-icon> does not currently support any other formats (PNG, JPEG, etc).

The Angular Material team is aware of these issues. Revisions for this component are planned.

Thank you, very clear
