History Icon
history · Time · 6 styles
Filed under Time, the History icon is part of the Solar Icons Angular package. It is one of 27 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so History lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "history", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
Users read the shape as the idea of clocks, alarms, calendars and duration. That places History in the Time family, which covers clocks, alarms, calendars and duration and turns up in schedulers, timers, history views and deadline badges. Teams building calendars, booking flows and time-tracking tools reach for this set first. Use History where the label alone would be ambiguous — an icon-only button, a dense table row, a mobile tab bar — and keep an accessible name on the control, because the SVG itself is decorative.
History in 6 styles
History is drawn in 6 style variants: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Bold gives you solid filled shapes that hold their weight at 16px and read clearly against coloured backgrounds. Bold Duotone gives you a filled body with a second, lower-opacity layer that adds depth without a second colour token. Linear gives you even 1.5px strokes, the neutral default for dense interfaces and toolbars. A common pairing is Bold for the selected state and Line Duotone for the rest, so the active item reads without a colour change.

Nothing is registered globally by default, so the import list is the bundle. Import HistoryBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/time" entry point, hand it to provideSolarIcons in your application config or in a route-level providers array, and render it with the solar-icon component. All 6 exports for history live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.
import { HistoryBold, HistoryBoldDuotone, HistoryLinear, HistoryOutline, HistoryBroken, HistoryLineDuotone } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/time';import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core';
import { provideSolarIcons } from '@rchernando/solar-icons';
import { HistoryBold } from '@rchernando/solar-icons/time';
export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
providers: [provideSolarIcons(HistoryBold)]
};<solar-icon name="history" iconStyle="bold" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="history" iconStyle="bold-duotone" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="history" iconStyle="linear" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="history" iconStyle="outline" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="history" iconStyle="broken" size="24px" />
<solar-icon name="history" iconStyle="line-duotone" size="24px" />More Time icons
Icons drawn alongside it in Time include Hourglass Line, Watch Round, Alarm, Alarm Remove, Calendar Add, Calendar Search, History2 and Stopwatch. They share stroke weight and corner radius with History, so mixing them in one toolbar stays consistent.
Icons related to History
If History is not quite the shape you want, History2 and History3 share part of its name and often work as substitutes.
Elsewhere in the library
In other corners of the library, Playlist Minimalistic2, Heart, Chat Round Money, User Block Rounded, Safe2 and Magnet Wave cover neighbouring ideas; the name "history" is 7 characters long and splits into 1 token, which is how the explorer's search matches it.
History icon FAQ
- How do I use the history icon in Angular?
- Import HistoryBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/time", register it with provideSolarIcons(HistoryBold) and render <solar-icon name="history" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does History support?
- 6 of them: Bold, Bold Duotone, Linear, Outline, Broken and Line Duotone. Each is a separate export, so you only ship the ones you import.
- Can I change the size and colour of history?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so History inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
