CSS for vector based country flags. See the demo.
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 to have a squared version flag
then add the class flag-icon-squared as well. 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 4 by 3 ratio or if it's squared
add also the flag-icon-squared class.
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
$ 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.
This project wouldn't exist without the awesome collection of svg flags: koppi/iso-country-flags-svg-collection
