File Type Nix

The file-type-nix icon represents a Nix package file. This icon denotes a file related to Nix, a package manager for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems.

In real-world applications, this icon may appear in Nix projects or package configurations.

From a UX perspective, this icon communicates that a file is part of the Nix package management system.

File Type Nix is one of 1,426 icons in VSCode Icons, made by Roberto Huertas and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 32 × 32 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds FileTypeNixIcon to components/icons/vscode-icons-file-type-nix.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed FileTypeNixIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the File Type Nix icon, or any of 1,426 VSCode Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 32 × 32 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It keeps its own colors in light and dark mode, so check it against both backgrounds. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="File Type Nix", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. FileTypeNixIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <FileTypeNixIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming VSCode Icons, Roberto Huertas and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are file, development, programming, package and IDE. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for File Type Nix in another set.

VSCode Icons draws many icons in several styles: Light next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see File Type Nix's siblings in it.
