flag-icon-css

CSS for vector based country flags. See the demo.

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 of a country) to an empty <span>. If you want the flag to have the squared version then also add the class flag-icon-squared. Example:

<span class="flag-icon flag-icon-gr"></span>
<span class="flag-icon flag-icon-gr flag-icon-squared"></span>

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:

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 3x4 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 reloed if served

$ grunt

To build *.less files

$ grunt build

To serve it on localhost:8000

$ 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 file and build it again.
