Example

Atention: Supports svg file names only in snake_case (like a my_sepparated_icon_name.svg, but not my-icon.svg, my.icon.svg etc)

File structire:

project
└───icons
│   │   account.svg
│   │   arrow_left.svg
│   │   arrow_right.svg
│   │   collection.svg
│   
└───lib
│   │   icon_font
│   │   widgets

Run command:

$ icon_font_generator --from=icons --class-name=UiIcons --out-font=lib/src/icon_font/ui_icons.ttf --out-flutter=lib/src/widgets/icons.dart

Generated to:

project
└───icons
│   │   account.svg
│   │   arrow_left.svg
│   │   arrow_right.svg
│   │   collection.svg
│   
└───lib
│   └───widgets
│   |   │   icons.dart
│   │
│   └───icon_font
│       │   ui_icons.ttf

Generated icons.dart:

import 'package:flutter/widgets.dart';

@immutable
class UiIconsData extends IconData {
  const UiIconsData(int codePoint)
      : super(
          codePoint,
          fontFamily: 'UiIcons',
        );
}

@immutable
class UiIcons {
  UiIcons._();

  // Generated code: do not hand-edit.
  static const IconData account = UiIconsData(0xe000);

  static const IconData arrowLeft = UiIconsData(0xe001);

  static const IconData arrowRight = UiIconsData(0xe002);

  static const IconData collection = UiIconsData(0xe003);
}

And also need add font to pubspec.yaml:

...

flutter:
  fonts:
    - family: UiIcons
      fonts:
        - asset: lib/src/icon_font/ui_icons.ttf

Still you can usage it with DPM (Dart Package Manager)

For example:

1. $ pub global activate dpm
2. $ dpm add --dev icon_font_generator
3. Next add script to pubspec.yaml:

...
scripts:
  generate_icons: icon_font_generator 
    --from=icons 
    --class-name=UiIcons 
    --out-font=lib/icon_font/ui_icons.ttf 
    --out-flutter=lib/widgets/icons.dart

4. And always perform with the command: dpm generate_icons
