public getIconForResource(ResourceInterface $resource[, string|IconSize $size = IconSize::MEDIUM ][, string|null $overlayIdentifier = null ][, array<string|int, mixed> $options = [] ]) : Icon

The method takes care of the translation of file extension to proper icon and for folders it will return the icon depending on the role of the folder.

If the given resource is a folder there are some additional options that can be used:

  • mount-root => TRUE (to indicate this is the root of a mount)
  • folder-open => TRUE (to indicate that the folder is opened in the file tree)

There is a hook in place to manipulate the icon name and overlays.

Parameters
$resource : ResourceInterface
$size : string|IconSize = IconSize::MEDIUM
$overlayIdentifier : string|null = null
$options : array<string|int, mixed> = []

An associative array with additional options.
