Feather
What is Feather?
Feather is a collection of simply beautiful open-source icons. Each icon is designed on a 24x24 grid with an emphasis on simplicity, consistency, and flexibility.

Quick start
Start with this CodePen Template to begin prototyping with Feather in the browser.
Or copy and paste the following code snippet into a blank html file.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<title></title>
<script src="https://unpkg.com/feather-icons"></script>
<body>
<!-- example icon -->
<i data-feather="circle"></i>
<script>
feather.replace();
</script>
</body>
</html>Usage
At its core, Feather is a collection of 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
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.
npm install feather-icons --saveOr just copy feather.js or 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 <script> tag:
<script src="path/to/dist/feather.js"></script>[!NOTE] >
feather.jsandfeather.min.jsare located in thedistdirectory of the npm package.
Or load the script from a CDN provider:
<!-- choose one -->
<script src="https://unpkg.com/feather-icons"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/feather-icons/dist/feather.min.js"></script>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:
<i data-feather="circle"></i>See the complete list of icons at feathericons.com.
4. Replace
Call the feather.replace() method:
<script>
feather.replace();
</script>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 for more information about feather.replace().
Node
1. Install
Install with npm:
npm install feather-icons --save2. Require
const feather = require('feather-icons');3. Use
feather.icons.x;
// {
// name: 'x',
// contents: '<line ... /><line ... />`,
// 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();
// <svg class="feather feather-x" ...><line ... /><line ... /></svg>
feather.icons.x.toSvg({ class: 'foo bar', 'stroke-width': 1, color: 'red' });
// <svg class="feather feather-x foo bar" stroke-width="1" color="red" ...><line ... /><line ... /></svg>See the 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.
npm install feather-icons --saveOr just copy feather-sprite.svg into your project directory.
2. Use
Include an icon on your page with the following markup:
<svg
width="24"
height="24"
fill="none"
stroke="currentColor"
stroke-width="2"
stroke-linecap="round"
stroke-linejoin="round"
>
<use href="path/to/feather-sprite.svg#circle" />
</svg>[!NOTE] >
circlein the above example can be replaced with any valid icon name. See the complete list of icon names at feathericons.com.
However, this markup can be simplified using a simple CSS class to avoid repetition of SVG attributes between icons:
.feather {
width: 24px;
height: 24px;
stroke: currentColor;
stroke-width: 2;
stroke-linecap: round;
stroke-linejoin: round;
fill: none;
}<svg class="feather">
<use href="path/to/dist/feather-sprite.svg#circle" />
</svg>Figma
Feather is available as a Figma 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
feather.icons.x;
// {
// name: 'x',
// contents: '<line ... /><line ... />',
// 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();
// '<line ... /><line ... />'[!NOTE] >
xin the above example can be replaced with any valid icon name. See the complete list of icon names at 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 <svg> tag (e.g. { foo: 'bar' } maps to foo="bar"). All default attributes on the <svg> tag can be overridden with the attrs object. |
Note
You might find these SVG attributes helpful for manipulating icons:
Usage
feather.icons.circle.toSvg();
// '<svg class="feather feather-circle" 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"><circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10"></circle></svg>'
feather.icons.circle.toSvg({ 'stroke-width': 1 });
// '<svg class="feather feather-circle" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="1" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"><circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10"></circle></svg>'
feather.icons.circle.toSvg({ class: 'foo bar' });
// '<svg class="feather feather-circle foo bar" 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"><circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10"></circle></svg>'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 <svg> tag (e.g. { foo: 'bar' } maps to foo="bar"). All default attributes on the <svg> tag can be overridden with the attrs object. |
Usage
[!IMPORTANT] >
feather.replace()only works in a browser environment.
Simple usage:
<i data-feather="circle"></i>
<!--
<i> will be replaced with:
<svg class="feather feather-circle" 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"><circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10"></circle></svg>
-->
<script>
feather.replace();
</script>You can pass feather.replace() an attrs object:
<i data-feather="circle"></i>
<!--
<i> will be replaced with:
<svg class="feather feather-circle foo bar" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="1" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"><circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10"></circle></svg>
-->
<script>
feather.replace({ class: 'foo bar', 'stroke-width': 1 });
</script>All attributes on the placeholder element (i.e. <i>) will be copied to the <svg> tag:
<i data-feather="circle" id="my-circle" class="foo bar" stroke-width="1"></i>
<!--
<i> will be replaced with:
<svg id="my-circle" class="feather feather-circle foo bar" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="1" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round"><circle cx="12" cy="12" r="10"></circle></svg>
-->
<script>
feather.replace();
</script>feather.toSvg(name, [attrs]) (DEPRECATED)
[!WARNING] >
feather.toSvg()is deprecated. Please usefeather.icons[name].toSvg()instead.
Returns an SVG string.
