## Quick start

Start with this [CodePen Template](https://codepen.io/pen?template=WOJZdM) to begin prototyping with Feather in the browser.

Or copy and paste the following code snippet into a blank `html` file.

```html






feather.replace();

```

## Usage

At its core, Feather is a collection of [SVG](https://svgontheweb.com/#svg) files. This means that you can use Feather icons in all the same ways you can use SVGs (e.g. `img`, `background-image`, `inline`, `object`, `embed`, `iframe`). Here's a helpful article detailing the many ways SVGs can be used on the web: [SVG on the Web – Implementation Options](https://svgontheweb.com/#implementation)

The following are additional ways you can use Feather.

### Client-side JavaScript

#### 1. Install

> [!NOTE]
> If you intend to use Feather with a CDN, you can skip this installation step.

Install with [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/what-is-npm).

```shell
npm install feather-icons --save
```

Or just copy [`feather.js`](https://unpkg.com/feather-icons/dist/feather.js) or [`feather.min.js`](https://unpkg.com/feather-icons/dist/feather.min.js) into your project directory. You don't need both `feather.js` and `feather.min.js`.

#### 2. Include

Include `feather.js` or `feather.min.js` with a `` tag:

```html
<script src="path/to/dist/feather.js">
```

> [!NOTE] > `feather.js` and `feather.min.js` are located in the `dist` directory of the npm package.

Or load the script from a CDN provider:

```html

```

After including the script, `feather` will be available as a global variable.

#### 3. Use

To use an icon on your page, add a `data-feather` attribute with the icon name to an element:

```html

```

See the complete list of icons at [feathericons.com](https://feathericons.com).

#### 4. Replace

Call the `feather.replace()` method:

```html

feather.replace();

```

All elements that have a `data-feather` attribute will be replaced with SVG markup corresponding to their `data-feather` attribute value. See the [API Reference](#api-reference) for more information about `feather.replace()`.

### Node

#### 1. Install

Install with [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/what-is-npm):

```shell
npm install feather-icons --save
```

#### 2. Require

```js
const feather = require('feather-icons');
```

#### 3. Use

```js
feather.icons.x;
// {
// name: 'x',
// contents: '`,
// tags: ['cancel', 'close', 'delete', 'remove'],
// attrs: {
// class: 'feather feather-x',
// xmlns: 'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg',
// width: 24,
// height: 24,
// viewBox: '0 0 24 24',
// fill: 'none',
// stroke: 'currentColor',
// 'stroke-width': 2,
// 'stroke-linecap': 'round',
// 'stroke-linejoin': 'round',
// },
// toSvg: [Function],
// }

feather.icons.x.toSvg();
//

feather.icons.x.toSvg({ class: 'foo bar', 'stroke-width': 1, color: 'red' });
//
```

See the [API Reference](#api-reference) for more information about the available properties and methods of the `feather` object.

### SVG sprite

#### 1. Install

> [!NOTE]
> If you intend to use Feather with a CDN, you can skip this installation step.

Install with [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/what-is-npm).

```shell
npm install feather-icons --save
```

Or just copy [`feather-sprite.svg`](https://unpkg.com/feather-icons/dist/feather-sprite.svg) into your project directory.

#### 2. Use

Include an icon on your page with the following markup:

```html

```

> [!NOTE] > `circle` in the above example can be replaced with any valid icon name. See the complete list of icon names at [feathericons.com](https://feathericons.com).

However, this markup can be simplified using a simple CSS class to avoid repetition of SVG attributes between icons:

```css
.feather {
width: 24px;
height: 24px;
stroke: currentColor;
stroke-width: 2;
stroke-linecap: round;
stroke-linejoin: round;
fill: none;
}
```

```html

```

### Figma

Feather is available as a [Figma component library](https://www.figma.com/file/dyJRSFTIajik4cdkcXN8yA3K/Feather-Component-Library). To use the components, log in to your Figma account and **duplicate** the file to your drafts.

## API reference

### `feather.icons`

An object with data about every icon.

#### Usage

```js
feather.icons.x;
// {
// name: 'x',
// contents: '',
// tags: ['cancel', 'close', 'delete', 'remove'],
// attrs: {
// class: 'feather feather-x',
// xmlns: 'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg',
// width: 24,
// height: 24,
// viewBox: '0 0 24 24',
// fill: 'none',
// stroke: 'currentColor',
// 'stroke-width': 2,
// 'stroke-linecap': 'round',
// 'stroke-linejoin': 'round',
// },
// toSvg: [Function],
// }

feather.icons.x.toString();
// ''
```

> [!NOTE] > `x` in the above example can be replaced with any valid icon name. See the complete list of icon names at [feathericons.com](https://feathericons.com). Icons with multi-word names (e.g. `arrow-right`) **cannot** be accessed using dot notation (e.g. `feather.icons.x`). Instead, use bracket notation (e.g. `feather.icons['arrow-right']`).

### `feather.icons[name].toSvg([attrs])`

Returns an SVG string.

#### Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| ------------------ | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `attrs` (optional) | Object | Key-value pairs in the `attrs` object will be mapped to HTML attributes on the `` tag (e.g. `{ foo: 'bar' }` maps to `foo="bar"`). All default attributes on the `` tag can be overridden with the `attrs` object. |

> [!NOTE]
> You might find these SVG attributes helpful for manipulating icons:
>
> - [`color`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/color)
> - [`width`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/width)
> - [`height`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/height)
> - [`stroke-width`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/stroke-width)
> - [`stroke-linecap`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/stroke-linecap)
> - [`stroke-linejoin`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/stroke-linejoin)

#### Usage

```js
feather.icons.circle.toSvg();
// ''

feather.icons.circle.toSvg({ 'stroke-width': 1 });
// ''

feather.icons.circle.toSvg({ class: 'foo bar' });
// ''
```

### `feather.replace([attrs])`

Replaces all elements that have a `data-feather` attribute with SVG markup corresponding to the element's `data-feather` attribute value.

#### Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| ------------------ | ------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `attrs` (optional) | Object | Key-value pairs in the `attrs` object will be mapped to HTML attributes on the `` tag (e.g. `{ foo: 'bar' }` maps to `foo="bar"`). All default attributes on the `` tag can be overridden with the `attrs` object. |

#### Usage

> [!IMPORTANT] > `feather.replace()` only works in a browser environment.

Simple usage:

```html

feather.replace();

```

You can pass `feather.replace()` an `attrs` object:

```html

feather.replace({ class: 'foo bar', 'stroke-width': 1 });

```

All attributes on the placeholder element (i.e. ``) will be copied to the `` tag:

```html

feather.replace();

```

### `feather.toSvg(name, [attrs])` (DEPRECATED)
