Description

I am using ionicons with Ionic 4 and angular. I would like to change the deployment to put the ionicons svg files into a different directory than svg/. I know how to do this in angular.json but I can't figure out how to tell ionicons about the new location.

There is a resourcesUrl property inside the ion-icon component that seems to figure in [1] if I could set it. I don't understand how to set it through so all components get the setting.

Does anyone know how to override the resourcesUrl path so I can point to a different location?

Research direction
Look at the resourcesUrl property in src/components/icon/icon.tsx around line 181. Investigate how to globally set this property via a provider or configuration. Check if any existing mechanism like Ionic Config or Angular environment variables can be used. Review comments for any suggested workarounds.
