# Text field icon
Icons describe the type of input a text field requires. They can also be interaction targets.
## Basic usage
### HTML structure
```html
<i class="material-icons mdc-text-field__icon mdc-text-field__icon--leading" tabindex="0" role="button">event</i>
```
#### Icon set
We recommend using [Material Icons](https://material.io/tools/icons/) from Google Fonts:
```html
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons">
</head>
```
However, you can also use SVG, [Font Awesome](https://fontawesome.com/), or any other icon library you wish.
### Styles
```scss
@use "@material/textfield/icon";
@include icon.icon-core-styles;
```
### JavaScript instantiation
```js
import {MDCTextFieldIcon} from '@material/textfield/icon';
const icon = new MDCTextFieldIcon(document.querySelector('.mdc-text-field-icon'));
```
## Variants
Leading and trailing icons can be applied to default or `mdc-text-field--outlined` Text Fields. To add an icon, add the relevant class (`mdc-text-field--with-leading-icon` and/or `mdc-text-field--with-trailing-icon`) to the root element, add an `i` element with your preferred icon, and give it a class of `mdc-text-field__icon` with the modifier `mdc-text-field__icon--leading` or `mdc-text-field__icon--trailing`.
> **NOTE:** if you would like to display un-clickable icons, simply omit `tabindex="0"` and `role="button"`, and the CSS will ensure the cursor is set to default, and that interacting with an icon doesn't do anything unexpected.
### Leading icon
In text field:
```html
<label class="mdc-text-field mdc-text-field--filled mdc-text-field--with-leading-icon">
<span class="mdc-text-field__ripple"></span>
<span class="mdc-floating-label" id="my-label-id">Your Name</span>
<i class="material-icons mdc-text-field__icon mdc-text-field__icon--leading" tabindex="0" role="button">event</i>
<input class="mdc-text-field__input" type="text" aria-labelledby="my-label-id">
<span class="mdc-line-ripple"></span>
</label>
```
In outlined text field:
```html
<label class="mdc-text-field mdc-text-field--outlined mdc-text-field--with-leading-icon">
<span class="mdc-notched-outline">

<span class="mdc-notched-outline__notch">
<span class="mdc-floating-label" id="my-label-id">Your Name</span>
