I want to render an icon based on some kind of params:

  defp render_status_icon(case, classes) do
    icon_name = case case.status do
      :open -> "hero-inbox-solid text-emerald-500"
      :closed -> "hero-lock-closed text-gray-500"
      :archived -> "hero-archive-box text-gray-500"
      _ -> "hero-question-mark-circle text-blue-500"
    end

    content_tag(:span, class: "#{icon_name} #{classes}") do

    end
  end

I call it like this in my .heex file:

<%= render_status_icon(case, "h-4 w-4") %>

It works fine, but content_tag is deprecated.

What would be the correct pattern using core_components? It seems i cannot simply call those functions?
Or do I need to create a new Phoenix.Component just to render this?
Or should I use a sigil and simply render <span> myself?

I would do something like this:

attr :status, :atom, required: true
attr :classes, :string, default: ""
defp status_icon(%{status: status} = assigns) do
  icon_name = case status do
    :open -> "hero-inbox-solid text-emerald-500"
    :closed -> "hero-lock-closed text-gray-500"
    :archived -> "hero-archive-box text-gray-500"
    _ -> "hero-question-mark-circle text-blue-500"
  end
  ~H"<span class={[icon_name, @classes]} />"
end

And then use it as:
<.status_icon status={case.status} classes="h-4 w-4" />

Or maybe even simpler, just make the function that returns the icon to use and use that immediately.

<span class={[status_icon(case.status), "w-4 h-4"]} />

Thanks, that is helpful :slight_smile:

As a note for anyone else, this actually will throw a warning of using a local variable (icon_name) in the template. Instead one should put this into the assigns as well:

  attr :status, :atom, required: true
  attr :class, :string, default: ""
  def status_icon(%{status: status} = assigns) do
    icon_name = case status do
      :open -> "hero-inbox-solid text-emerald-500"
      :closed -> "hero-lock-closed text-gray-500"
      :archived -> "hero-archive-box text-gray-500"
      _ -> "hero-question-mark-circle text-blue-500"
    end
    assigns = assign(assigns, :icon_name, icon_name)
    ~H"<span class={[@icon_name, @class]} />"
  end
