Hello, is there a way to transform a string to a resource for example "Icons.Rounded.Settings".toImageVector() would returns Icons.Rounded.Settings?

What’s your use case for wanting this? Server driven UI?

You could parse the string then use reflection to look up the members. But i wouldn’t recommend doing this: it’s brittle and slow due to reflection. Instead hard-code the mapping of names to icons that you need.

Yeah @Zun exactly this
