CSS for vector based country flags. See the demo.
For performance reason the svg flags were converted to png 18x14 (px) using the inkscape with the convert.sh bash script.
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.
