Get path of icon set

Question

Hey there,

I built a react component that generates the lightning icon markup.

This coponent need the resource path of the icon set.

Actually I hardcoded the resource path into my application. But thats not best practive due this path changes from release to release.

My question is, if there is a posibility to receive the actual icon resource path from lightning.

Cheers

Hi Florian,

It has just come to my attention that since Spring '17 we can use the global var $Asset in visualforce pages to access the lightning design system. So if you're using your React within a VF it would work for you as well.
