Folder Type Helper

The folder-type-helper icon represents a helper folder icon, used to denote a helper-related folder or directory in a programming or development context. Helper folders or directories typically contain utility code or functions that assist with development tasks. The icon is part of the VSCode Icons library, which provides a wide range of icons for various programming and development tools.

The folder-type-helper icon can be used in software development applications, such as IDEs, code editors, or project management tools, to represent helper-related folders or directories. For example, it may appear in a file explorer or project navigator in an IDE like Visual Studio Code.

From a UX perspective, the folder-type-helper icon communicates that a folder or directory is related to helper code or functions, helping users understand the functionality or content of the folder. This can help users quickly identify and navigate to helper-related code or resources.

Folder Type Helper 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 FolderTypeHelperIcon to components/icons/vscode-icons-folder-type-helper.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 FolderTypeHelperIcon 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 Folder Type Helper 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="Folder Type Helper", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. FolderTypeHelperIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <FolderTypeHelperIcon 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 icon, development, programming, folder and utility. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Folder Type Helper 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 Folder Type Helper's siblings in it.
