Babel includes JSX processing.

Add External Scripts/Pens

Any URL's added here will be added as <script>s in order, and run before the JavaScript in the editor. You can use the URL of any other Pen and it will include the JavaScript from that Pen.

Add Packages

Search for and use JavaScript packages from npm here. By selecting a package, an import statement will be added to the top of the JavaScript editor for this package.

Behavior

Auto Save

If active, Pens will autosave every 30 seconds after being saved once.

Auto-Updating Preview

If enabled, the preview panel updates automatically as you code. If disabled, use the "Run" button to update.

Format on Save

If enabled, your code will be formatted when you actively save your Pen. Note: your code becomes un-folded during formatting.

      <p>The goal was to be able to create custom style sheets and allow for the coloring of icons for <a href="https://sosuke.com/creating-a-dovetail-agent-theme/" target="_blank">Creating a Dovetail Agent Theme</a>.</p>
      <p>For this code to work well the starting color needs to be black. If your icon set isn't black you can prepend "brightness(0) saturate(100%)" to your filter property which will first turn the icon set to black.</p>
      <p>
        For as long as I worked on creating this solution from multiple resources I found some had spent far
        longer to create this already completed solution. Only slightly modified to focus on HEX colors. Credit
