# flag-icon-css > A collection of all country flags in SVG — plus the CSS for easier integration. > See the [demo](http://flag-icon-css.lip.is). ## Install You can either [download](https://github.com/lipis/flag-icon-css/archive/master.zip) the whole project as is or install it via Bower or NPM: ```bash $ bower install flag-icon-css $ npm install flag-icon-css ``` ## Usage For using the flags inline with text add the classes `.flag-icon` and `.flag-icon-xx` (where `xx` is the [ISO 3166-1-alpha-2 code](https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search/code/) of a country) to an empty ``. If you want to have a squared version flag then add the class `flag-icon-squared` as well. Example: ```html ``` You could also apply this to any element, but in that case you'll have to use the `flag-icon-background` instead of `flag-icon` and you're set. This will add the correct background with the following CSS properties: ```css background-size: contain; background-position: 50%; background-repeat: no-repeat; ``` Which means that the flag is just going to appear in the middle of an element, so you will have to set manually the correct size of 4 by 3 ratio or if it's squared add also the `flag-icon-squared` class. ## Development Run the `npm install` to install the dependencies after cloning the project and you'll be able to: To watch for changes and live reload if served ```bash $ grunt ``` To build `*.less` files ```bash $ grunt build ``` To serve it on `localhost:8000` ```bash $ grunt connect ``` To have only specific countries in the css file, remove the ones that you don't need from the [`flag-icon-list.less`](https://github.com/lipis/flag-icon-css/blob/master/less/flag-icon-list.less) file and build it again. ## Credits This project wouldn't exist without the awesome and now deleted collection of SVG flags by [koppi](https://github.com/koppi). ## Contributors ### Code Contributors This project exists thanks to all the people who contribute.
