flag-icons

A curated collection of all country flags in SVG — plus the CSS for easier integration. See the demo.

Install

You can either download the whole project as is or install it via npm or Yarn:

npm install flag-icons
# or
yarn add flag-icons

Usage

First, you need to import css:

import "/node_modules/flag-icons/css/flag-icons.min.css";

or use CDN:

<link
  rel="stylesheet"
  href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/lipis/[email protected]/css/flag-icons.min.css"
/>

or use SASS:

@use "node_modules/flag-icons/sass/flag-icons";

// or with custom configuration
@use "node_modules/flag-icons/sass/flag-icons" with (
  // Override path to flags directory
  $flag-icons-path: "node_modules/flag-icons/flags",

  // Include only specific country flags
  $flag-icons-included-countries: ("gr", "de", "gb")
);

You can find all available variables in sass/_variables.scss.

For using the flags inline with text add the classes .fi and .fi-xx (where xx is the ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 code of a country) to an empty <span>. If you want to have a squared version flag then add the class fis as well. Example:

<span class="fi fi-gr"></span> <span class="fi fi-gr fis"></span>

You could also apply this to any element, but in that case you'll have to use the fib instead of fi and you're set. This will add the correct background with the following CSS properties:

background-size: contain;
background-position: 50%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;

Which means that the flag is just going to appear in the middle of an element, so you will have to set manually the correct size of 4 by 3 ratio or if it's squared add also the flag-icon-squared class.

Development

Run the yarn to install the dependencies after cloning the project and you'll be able to:

To build *.scss files

$ yarn build

To serve it on localhost:8000

$ yarn start

To have only specific countries in the css file, edit the $flag-icons-included-countries list in sass/_variables.scss and build it again.
