How can the type 'string' be made assignable to the Icon type in Material UI?

edit

The type 'string' cannot be directly assigned to the Icon type in Material UI. However, you can use the 'createMuiTheme' function from the '@material-ui/core/styles' module to create a theme with a custom icon mapping. Here's an example:

import createMuiTheme from '@material-ui/core/styles/createMuiTheme';
import { icons } from '@material-ui/icons';

// Define a custom icon mapping
const customIcons = {
  myIcon: {
    // Replace 'myIcon' with the name of your custom icon
    path: icons.myIcon.path,
    viewBox: icons.myIcon.viewBox,
  },
};

// Create a Material UI theme with the custom icon mapping
const theme = createMuiTheme({
  overrides: {
    MuiSvgIcon: {
      root: {
        // Replace 'myIcon' with the name of your custom icon
        '&.myIcon': {
          '& svg': {
            fill: 'currentColor',
            width: '1em',
            height: '1em',
          },
          '& path': {
            d: customIcons.myIcon.path,
            viewBox: customIcons.myIcon.viewBox,
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
});

// Now you can use your custom icon like this:
import MyIcon from '@material-ui/icons/MyIcon';

<MyIcon className="myIcon" />
