Blender Icons Plugin
This works in combination with: https://projects.blender.org/dfelinto/penpot-icon-generator
You need to run the icon generator, and then paste the content of the clipboard (a SVG) inside Penpot.
And then you run this plugin.
Install Dependencies
After cloning the repository, navigate into the project directory and install the necessary dependencies by running:
cd penpot-plugin
npm install
This command installs all the required packages listed in the package.json
file.
Configure the Plugin
Next, you need to edit the plugin's configuration file:
- Navigate to the
penpot-plugin
directory. - Open the
manifest.json
file located in the/public
folder. - Make any necessary changes to the configuration. Note that any modifications to this file require you to restart the development server for changes to take effect.
Run the Development Server
To start the development server, run the following command in your terminal:
npm run dev
Once the server is running, open your web browser and go to http://localhost:4400
to view your plugin in action. Now it is ready to be loaded in Penpot with the url http://localhost:4400/manifest.json
.
Development
Technologies Used
This plugin template uses several key technologies:
- TypeScript
- Vite
- Web Components
Libraries Included
The template includes two Penpot libraries to assist in your development:
@penpot/plugin-styles
: This library provides utility functions and resources to help you style your components consistently with Penpot's design system.@penpot/plugin-types

Build Your Plugin
When you're ready to build your plugin for production, run the following command:
npm run build
This command compiles your TypeScript code and assets into JavaScript, creating a dist
folder that contains all the files necessary to deploy your plugin.
