Use material-design-icons-iconfont

Full disclosure, I'm the author of this package

Google's material-design-icons project is on low maintenance and out of date for a while. There's a gap between the version in https://material.io/icons/ and the version in material-design-icons.

I've created material-design-icons-iconfont to address these major issues:

Install via npm

npm install material-design-icons-iconfont --save

It depends on how you pack your web application (webpack/gulp/bower/...), you'll need to import the .css/.scss file (and might change the relative fonts path)

Import Using SCSS

@import '~material-design-icons-iconfont/src/material-design-icons';

Later on, reference your desired icon + icon-id +
