Mat-icon not working

Mat Icon Not Working – HTML Solution

If your mat-icon is not working, there could be several reasons. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and fix the issue:

1. Make sure you have imported the Angular Material module in your application. This can be done by adding MatIconModule in the import section of the module where the component using mat-icon is declared.
2. Ensure that you have installed and included the necessary Angular Material icons package. You can do this by running the following command:

ng add @angular/material-icons

3. Verify that the name of the icon you are using is correct. You can check the list of available icons on the Google Material Icons website. Keep in mind that the names are case-sensitive.
4. Check if you are using the correct selector for the mat-icon component. By default, it should have the selector <mat-icon>.
5. Ensure that you have included the necessary CSS styles. You can do this by adding the following line in your main styles.scss file:

@import '~@angular/material/prebuilt-themes/indigo-pink.css';

6. If the icon is still not showing up, try clearing your browser’s cache and reloading the page. Sometimes cached files can cause issues with loading new icon assets.
7. If none of the solutions above work, please provide more details about your code and any error messages you are receiving. This can help in finding a more specific solution.

Here is an example usage of mat-icon:

<mat-icon>favorite</mat-icon>
