Usage
HTML Image
Using the <img />
element directly in your HTML file.
<img src="path/to/icon.svg" alt="icon title" />
Inline HTML
You can paste the content of the icon file directly into your HTML code to display it on the page using the <svg> </svg>
tag.
<body>
// Add your SVG code here
</body>
CSS
Instead of using an HTML <img />
element, you can use CSS instead and apply it as a background to any other element.
body {
background-image: url(path/to/icon.svg);
}
SVG as an object
You can also use the <object>
tag to add the SVG to your page
<object data="path/to/icon.svg" width="24" height="24"> </object>
Using
Keep in mind that using iframe is not recommended, because its hard to maintain
<iframe src="path/to/icon.svg"> </iframe>
SVG as embed
Most of the modern browsers have deprecated plugins, so this is not recommended.
<embed src="path/to/icon.svg" />
Figma
HackerNoon’s Pixel Icon Library is available as a Figma Community File. To use the components, log in to your Figma account and duplicate the file to your drafts.
