Share Icon
share · Essentional Ui · 6 styles
The Share icon belongs to the Essentional Ui set of Solar Icons for Angular. It is one of 139 glyphs in that category and one of 1,246 icons in the library overall, each drawn on the same 24x24 grid so Share lines up optically with everything around it. The icon is addressed in templates by the string "share", and every style variant resolves from that single name.
The drawing communicates the idea of the primitives every interface needs — add, close, check, menu, info, danger. That places Share in the Essentional Ui family, which covers the primitives every interface needs — add, close, check, menu, info, danger and turns up in buttons, dialogs, toasts, form validation and empty states. Teams building literally every application, which is why it is the largest set here reach for this set first. Use Share 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.
Share in 6 styles
Share exists 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.

You register only the variants you actually render, so nothing unused reaches the bundle. Import ShareBold from the "@rchernando/solar-icons/essentional-ui" 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 share live in that same entry point, so switching style is a one-line change.

Elsewhere in the library
Across the rest of the set, Sort From Top To Bottom, Double Alt Arrow Left, Socket, Documents, Smartphone Rotate2 and Display cover neighbouring ideas; the name "share" is 5 characters long and splits into 1 token, which is how the explorer's search matches it.
Share icon FAQ
- How do I use the share icon in Angular?
- Import ShareBold from "@rchernando/solar-icons/essentional-ui", register it with provideSolarIcons(ShareBold) and render <solar-icon name="share" iconStyle="bold" />. No HTTP request is made — the SVG is inlined at build time.
- Which styles does Share 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 share?
- Yes. The size input accepts any CSS length and the SVG uses currentColor, so Share inherits the text colour of its container — a Tailwind class such as text-violet-400 is enough.
