Crate kamon 

Kamon (家紋) — file type icon provider with Nerd Font support.

A pure Rust library that maps filenames and extensions to Nerd Font icons and their associated colors. Designed to be a data/lookup library with no external dependencies beyond std.

Usage

use kamon::{get_icon, get_icon_by_extension, Icon};

// Look up by full filename (handles special names like Dockerfile, Makefile)
let icon = get_icon("main.rs").unwrap();
assert_eq!(icon.name, "rust");
assert_eq!(icon.color, "#dea584");

// Look up by extension directly
let icon = get_icon_by_extension("py").unwrap();
assert_eq!(icon.name, "python");

// Returns a default icon for unknown file types
let icon = get_icon("mystery_file");
assert!(icon.is_some()); // always returns an icon (default fallback)
