Add previews for CupertinoIcons in the API docs like material Icons have #45097
Description
On the material icons there are previews of each icon:
https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/material/Icons-class.html
However the same is not the case for the Cupertino icons:
https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/cupertino/CupertinoIcons-class.html
I don't know if there's a technical reason for this - it'd be nice to support if possible. In VS Code we use a regex to find these icon previews for Material and swap them out with images that will work there (so you have in-editor previews), but this also fails for Cupertino. If there were previous on the page, we could probably do the same thing there (raised at Dart-Code/Dart-Code#638 (comment)).

There's no good reason. I just haven't made the CSS to break out all the icons into images. We should definitely do this.

A user survey response requested this, and also pointed out that the README at https://github.com/flutter/cupertino_icons doesn't have the constants.

@xster I'm doing some work around icons at the moment, and we have the font available now, so I could fix this issue. Are you using a script (like
dev/tools/update_icons.dart) to generate cupertino'sicons.dart?xster commentedon Dec 4, 2020
Thanks for looking at it. It's https://github.com/xster/framework7-icons/blob/master/build/generate.py#L71

Awesome! I've added support for this to VS Code for the next version. Thanks!
