Vscode-material-icon-theme: [Icon Request] Nest js

[Rex-22]

Nest js is based on angular and most of the icons could be reused

It would be fantastic to have it supported.

Thanks

A nest icon was already added with the last update for the following file names:

• nest-cli.json
• .nest-cli.json
• nestconfig.json
• nestconfig.json

Could you please describe in more detail, what kind of icons you'd like to have and for which file names / file extensions etc.?

[PKief]

Btw, I've seen that it's already described in this pull request: #501 😉

@Rex-22 I merged @jerriclynsjohn's pull request #501 and with the upcoming update there'll be a Nest.js icon pack available which includes the following icons:

hey @PKief, I have the extension installed but my files are picked up as angular files (like app.module)

do you know if there is some settings I'm missing? I don't know how the plugin can differentiate between angular and nest files

[PKief]

@michelepatrassi You can enable the nest icons with the following line in your user settings:

"material-icon-theme.activeIconPack": "nest"

@PKief Does this intentionally only work in the User Settings? When I try to override the theme in the Workspace Settings it doesn't show any effect.

[PKief]

@ruwenhoeltge Yes, right now only user settings are supported. There's already an opened issue for supporting workspace settings, #208.

@PKief Maybe a good solution would be a hybrid icon theme for Angular and Nest, as I’d estimate that a great majority of Nest’s users are Full Stack Developers who also use Angular. For example you could just use the TypeScript Icon in the corresponding color, with exception of the .component.ts/.controller.ts files, which could use an different shade of blue in order to differentiate them from usual typescript files.

If you’re interested, I could try to create a pull request.
