Note: This command is not part of a stable WP-CLI release yet. To use it now, switch to the nightly build with wp cli update --nightly. If you installed the command as a separate package, updating that package may be enough.
Unlike wp icon get <name> --field=content, which prints the icon as it was registered, this applies the same sizing and accessibility attributes that WordPress applies when rendering the icon on the front end.

Options

See the argument syntax reference for a detailed explanation of the syntax conventions used.
<name>
Namespaced icon name, in the form “collection/icon-name”.
[–size=<size>]
Width and height of the icon in pixels. Pass “none” to leave the intrinsic dimensions of the SVG untouched. — default: 24 —
[–class=<class>]
Additional CSS class names, separated by spaces.
[–label=<label>]
Accessible label for the icon. Without it, the icon is rendered as decorative and hidden from assistive technology.

Examples

# Render an icon at its default size of 24 pixels
$ wp icon render core/plus
&lt;svg aria-hidden="true" focusable="false" height="24" width="24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewbox="0 0 24 24"&gt;
    &lt;path d="M11 12.5V17.5H12.5V12.5H17.5V11H12.5V6H11V11H6V12.5H11Z" /&gt;
&lt;/svg&gt;

# Render a larger icon with a CSS class and an accessible label
$ wp icon render core/plus --size=48 --class=my-icon --label="Add item" > plus.svg

# Keep the intrinsic dimensions of the SVG
$ wp icon render core/plus --size=none
