CDN

Just include the assets into your page from CDN:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/evil-icons/1.7.2/evil-icons.min.css">
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/evil-icons/1.7.2/evil-icons.min.js"></script>

or

<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/evil-icons/1.7.2/evil-icons.min.css">
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/evil-icons/1.7.2/evil-icons.min.js"></script>

And use the icons like this:

<div data-icon="ei-archive"></div>
<div data-icon="ei-chart" data-size="s"></div>
<div data-icon="ei-check" data-size="m"></div>
<div data-icon="ei-spinner" data-size="m"></div>
<div data-icon="ei-cart" data-size="l" class="foo"></div>

Rails

Add the 'evil_icons' gem to your Gemfile:

gem 'evil_icons'

Add the Evil Icons require to your application.css:

/*
 *= require evil-icons
 */

Next, you have to render the evil-icons sprite in your template (or, in your layout):

<%= evil_icons_sprite %>

Finally, you can render the icon using the evil_icon helper. Here are some examples:

<%= evil_icon 'ei-search' %>
<%= evil_icon 'ei-arrow-right', size: :m %>
<%= evil_icon 'ei-envelope', size: :l, class: "custom-class" %>

Sinatra

Add the 'evil_icons' gem to your Gemfile:

gem 'evil_icons'

And require it:

require 'evil_icons'

Add the helpers to your application:

helpers EvilIcons::Helpers

Next, you have to render the evil-icons sprite in your template (or, in your layout):

<%= evil_icons_sprite %>

Finally, you can render the icon using the evil_icon helper. Here are some examples:

<%= evil_icon 'ei-search' %>
<%= evil_icon 'ei-arrow-right', size: :m %>
<%= evil_icon 'ei-envelope', size: :l, class: "custom-class" %>

In order to use the stylesheets, you have to add Sprockets to your application. Add sinatra-asset-pipeline to your Gemfile:

gem 'sinatra-asset-pipeline'

And register it:

require 'sinatra/asset_pipeline'
register Sinatra::AssetPipeline

Finally, add the Evil Icons require to your application.css:

/*
 *= require evil-icons
 */

npm

Add the 'evil-icons' package to your project:

npm install evil-icons

Add the Evil Icons styles to your pages:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./node_modules/evil-icons/assets/evil-icons.css">

Require evil-icons in your JavaScript code:

var icons = require("evil-icons")

Finally, you can render the icons in your page using helpers. Here are some examples:

/* A string with SVG sprite */
icons.sprite;

/* Icons rendering */
icons.icon("ei-search");
icons.icon("ei-arrow-right", {size: "m"});
icons.icon("ei-envelope", {size: "l", class: "custom-class"});

React

Use the React component.

Styling

Every icon has the .icon class and its modifier including the icon name. For example, the Facebook icon has the .icon--ei-sc-facebook modifier.

Also, an icon may have a size modifier. But we do recommend to change the size using helper's size parameter instead. Evil Icons have some predefined sizes: s (25x25, default), m (50×50), l (100×100), xl (150×150) and xxl (200×200). You may want to add more sizes, we recommend keeping the sizes multiple to 25.

icons.icon("ei-arrow-right", {size: "m"})

Also, you may want to add a custom class for an icon. You can do this using the class parameter:

icons.icon("ei-envelope", {class: "custom-class"})

An icon's color can be changed in CSS:

.icon {
  fill: green;
}
.icon--ei-sc-facebook {
  fill: blue;
}
