Question: How would you make the sample tab component to use svg icons instead of font icons #715

Description

@deviprsd

I'm running into a conceptual problem and trying to figure out how to structure my code. I tried using the slack but seemed to get no response.

So I'll try to simplify my question here, how would one modify the sample tab component to use SVG icons instead?

    I believe that 'icon' should've been a slot, instead of just :string.

    @VictorGaiva The slot doesn't propagate to Tab because the TabItem is considered a slot itself. TabItem would have access to icon slot but not Tab. This doesn't work very well when you have to conditional rendering as Tab is doing, seems like one way is passing attributes back to TabItem to generate a button and then one to generate its contents. The whole logic then shifts to TabItem

    I would consider the approach taken with new phx generated CoreComponents.icon/1, which embeds the svg into css, and makes it trivial to use as if it was a font based icon.

    @dougw-bc I ended up that route, now I just want to see if something like this should be possible 😄
