extended-icons v1.2.0

About Extended Icons and it's relation to Simple Icons

I created this repository because some icons I need for my project are out of scope for the simple icons project. These include icons that have a low Alexa rank or only have local relevance. Yet I really love the simple icons infrastructure, so I based this repository on their work. This repository will only ever contain icons that are out of scope of simple icons, and shall be an extension to the project, not a competitive or alternative.

Usage

General Usage

Icons can be downloaded as SVGs directly from our website - simply click the icon you want, and the download should start automatically.

CDN Usage

Icons can be served from a CDN such as JSDelivr or Unpkg. Simply use the extended-icons npm package and specify a version in the URL like the following:

<img height="32" width="32" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/extended-icons@v1/icons/[ICON NAME].svg" />
<img height="32" width="32" src="https://unpkg.com/extended-icons@v1/icons/[ICON NAME].svg" />

Where [ICON NAME] is replaced by the icon name, for example:

<img height="32" width="32" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/extended-icons@v1/icons/extendedicons.svg" />
<img height="32" width="32" src="https://unpkg.com/extended-icons@v1/icons/extendedicons.svg" />

These examples use the latest major version. This means you won't receive any updates following the next major release. You can use @latest instead to receive updates indefinitely. However, this will result in a 404 error if the icon is removed.

Node Usage

The icons are also available through our npm package. To install, simply run:

$ npm install extended-icons

The API can then be used as follows:

const extendedIcons = require('extended-icons');

console.log(extendedIcons.get('Extended Icons'));

/*
{
    title: 'Extended Icons',
    slug: 'extendedicons',
    hex: '111111',
    source: 'https://extendedicons.vigonotion.com/',
    svg: '<svg role="img" viewBox="0 0 24 24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">...</svg>',
    path: 'M12 12v-1.5c-2.484 ...'
}
*/

Alternatively you can import the needed icons individually. This is useful if you are e.g. compiling your code with webpack and therefore have to be mindful of your package size:

const icon = require('extended-icons/icons/extendedicons');

console.log(icon);

/*
{
    title: 'Extended Icons',
    slug: 'extendedicons',
    hex: '111111',
    source: 'https://extendedicons.vigonotion.com/',
    svg: '<svg role="img" viewBox="0 0 24 24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">...</svg>',
    path: 'M12 12v-1.5c-2.484 ...'
}
*/

TypeScript Usage

There are also TypeScript type definitions for the Node package. To use them, simply run:

$ npm install @types/extended-icons

PHP Usage

The icons are also available through our Packagist package. To install, simply run:

$ composer require extended-icons/extended-icons

The package can then be used as follows:

<?php

echo file_get_contents('path/to/package/icons/extended-icons.svg');

// <svg role="img" viewBox="0 0 24 24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">...</svg>
?>
