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.
npm install feather-icons

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 โ 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 --save
Or 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.js
andfeather.min.js
are located in thedist
directory 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 --save
2. 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 --save
Or 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 xlink:href="path/to/feather-sprite.svg#circle"/>
</svg>
Note:
circle
in 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 xlink: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:
x
in 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. |
Hint: 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
Note:
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>
(DEPRECATED) feather.toSvg(name, [attrs])
Note:
feather.toSvg()

instead.
Returns an SVG string.
Parameters
Name | Type | Description |
