Icon Reference Field

I am sure someone must have come across this setup before. So I am going to use Contentful media for images, however, icons need to be on the frontend as they need to be sized and styled by CSS in code.

How can I have a field that shows what icons are available (visually) and stores a reference to them?

Hi @dan.atkinson, you will need to use the Image API: https://www.contentful.com/developers/docs/references/images-api/ to display the icons/thumbnails for your assets. Contentful suggests to always store the higher resolution image and then use the Image API for such cases.
