Styling: standardize icons #1111

Apologies if there is already an issue for this!

We've discussed it in the front end meetings but i found a really obvious example of mixing icons, so felt it was worth a github issue:

There are two different trash cans and two different copy icons in the above image.

May be advantageous to address at the same time as web-eda #933

Depends on https://github.com/VEuPathDB/CoreUI/issues/67

I was thinking it might be nice to have a canonical list of icons in https://github.com/veupathdb/coreui. Any icon used by any site would have to be added there. The interface might be something like <Icon type="delete"/>. CoreUI would not provide a way to use a "custom" icon. This will force all variety of sites to be consistent about icon usage. I suppose we should have a separate issue in CoreUI. I'm happy to write it up.

That would be incredible! Let's do that! Just made an issue in CoreUI. Please feel free to add more thoughts if you'd like!

Then would this issue here become the implementation issue for web-eda? Like the issue that says "use coreui icons"?

Yep, that sounds good to me!
