Blade Icons

Blade Flags uses Blade Icons under the hood. Please refer to the Blade Icons readme for additional functionality. We also recommend enabling icon caching with this library.

Usage

Icons can be used as self-closing Blade components which will be compiled into SVG icons:

<x-flag-country-br />
<x-flag-country-cn />
<x-flag-country-gb />
<x-flag-country-ru />
<x-flag-country-us />
<x-flag-language-en />
<x-flag-language-ar />
<x-flag-language-es />

You can also pass classes to your icon components:

<x-flag-country-us class="w-6 h-6"/>

Raw SVG Icons

If you want to use the raw SVG icons as assets, you can publish them using:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=blade-flags --force

Then use them in your views like:

<img src="{{ asset('vendor/blade-flags/country-us.svg') }}" width="32" height="32"/>
<img src="{{ asset('vendor/blade-flags/language-en.svg') }}" width="32" height="32"/>
