Ion-icon needs addIcon(..) in Ionic8 Angular19?!

I don’t use Angular, but the example in the Docs does show the icon being imported explicitly - ion-icon: Icon Component for Ionic Framework Apps. In Vue, we have to explicitly import all components and icons I personally prefer this.

The example does note:

Any icons you want to use in your application can be registered in app.component.ts and then referenced by name anywhere in your application.

I tried importing and registering globally in app.component.ts and that does work (don’t need to register in the component where it is being used).

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { IonApp, IonContent } from '@ionic/angular/standalone';
import { ExampleComponent } from './example.component';
import { addIcons } from 'ionicons';
import { logoIonic } from 'ionicons/icons';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: 'app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['app.component.css'],
  imports: [ExampleComponent, IonApp, IonContent],
})
export class AppComponent {
  constructor() {
    addIcons({ logoIonic });
  }
}
