What it does
CoreUI Icons provides a free icon set and paid styles, with SVG, JavaScript and webfont formats. Its documentation covers sprite use, class prefixes and components for Angular, React and Vue.
Install @coreui/icons for the free library. For an SVG sprite, place the sprite file with your application’s static assets, then reference its filename and symbol ID, such as free.svg#cil-airplane-mode. The prefixes distinguish linear icons (cil-), brands (cib-) and flags (cif-). External symbol files should be served from the same domain as the page.
CoreUI’s free licences depend on file type: SVG and JavaScript icon artwork uses CC BY 4.0, fonts use SIL OFL, and supporting code uses MIT. The supplied comments provide attribution, so retain them. Brand logos may only represent their corresponding company, product or service.
The standalone Pro pack is a one-time purchase per seat, with twelve months of updates. It permits repeated personal and commercial projects, but prohibits bundling icons into themes, frameworks or reusable image libraries. Repeated merchandise production, such as printed mugs or shirts, is also excluded.
