Canvas Icon Picker 1.0.0 Connects Canvas Components to Drupal’s Icon API

A wide Discover Drupal graphic pairs an icon picker interface with a simplified icon set to show how Drupal Canvas can replace eligible text fields with a searchable visual icon browser. The feature highlights Canvas Icon Picker 1.0 and its connection to Drupal core’s Icon API.

Version 1.0.0 of Canvas Icon Picker was released on 10 August 2026 with support for Drupal 11.1 or later and Drupal 12, according to its Drupal.org release page. The contributed module lets Canvas components replace opted-in string-property text fields with a searchable icon browser powered by Drupal core’s Icon API. Drupal.org also lists versions 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 as released on 13 August, making 1.0.0 the project’s initial stable release rather than its latest release.

For component authors, the picker provides an alternative to exposing an icon identifier through a standard text field. Components can opt individual string properties into the interface through their schema, while Drupal’s Icon API continues to provide the underlying icon packs. The browser supports core, contributed, and custom icon packs, along with recently used icons, keyboard navigation, and live previews.

Site administrators can define the available icon packs globally, while individual component properties can override the default with a specific set of packs. Drupal.org lists the project as created on 9 August 2026 and states that it is not covered by Drupal’s security advisory policy. The 1.0.0 release notes contain headings for bug fixes and new features but provide no further changelog detail.
