Google Material Icons as array - 任何想法？

Question

I'm implementing the Google Material Icons into my application - https://www.google.com/design/icons/

I would like to be able to populate a select field, so that it displays either the names of the icons, or the icons themselves, with the value of the option being the numeric character reference (so it's compatible with browsers that don't support ligatures - IE < 10).

I want to get all of the icons into an array so I can generate the option elements of the select. So, this sort of thing:

$icons = array(
    "" => "3d rotation",
    "" => "accessibility",
    etc. etc.
);

I would rather not have to sit and manually create this array from all 750 items, so I am wondering if anyone has any ideas for an automated way to do this?

You can load the MaterialIcons-Regular.ijmap json file that comes along with the fonts.

PHP example show:

// Get the contents on the ijmap bundled with the icon font
$list = json_decode(file_get_contents('path/to/MaterialIcons-Regular.ijmap'), true);
$icons = []; 

foreach ($list['icons'] as $i => $data) {
    $icons[$i] = $data['name']; 
}
