Is set_icon_by_filetype working?

[rodhash]

Hi,

My goal is to set a custom icon for TelescopePrompt buffers however the Filetype function doesn't seem to work.

If I use override_by_extension (commented out) it works just fine but with set_icon_by_filetype I'm unable to set a custom icon.

Here a simple test with .norg files (works only with override_by_extension):

      local devicons = require("nvim-web-devicons")

      devicons.set_icon_by_filetype({ toml = "bmp", foo = "bar", cpp = "x", norg = "y" })

      -- devicons.setup{
      --   override_by_extension = {
      --     ["norg"] = {
      --       icon = "z",
      --       color = "#519aba",
      --       name = "Norg",
      --     },
      --
      --   }
      --
      -- }

Is there a way to set custom icon for buffers like TelescopePrompt inside setup func?

I didn't find something like override_by_filetype in the docs so I guess this has to be done with set_icon_by_filetype but for some reason this particular one isn't working for me.

set_icon_by_filetype maps a filetype to an existing icon.

You'll need to add/override your icon by extension, then may a filetype to it, something like

require("nvim-web-devicons").set_icon {
  ["c"] = {
    icon = "x",
    color = "#599EFF",
    cterm_color = "111",
    name = "C"
  },
}

require("nvim-web-devicons").set_icon_by_filetype({ cpp = "c", })
