To use an icon on your page, add a class ‘bx’ and seperate class with the icons name with a prefix ‘bx-‘ for regular icons , ‘bxs-‘ for solid icons and ‘bxl-‘ for logos:

<i class="bx bx-hot"></i>
<i class="bx bxs-hot"></i>
<i class="bx bxl-facebook-square"></i>

Using via Web Component

Boxicons includes a Custom Element that makes using icons easy and efficient. To use it, add the box-icon-element.js file to the page:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/boxicons@2.1.3/dist/boxicons.js"></script>

To use an icon, add the <box-icon> element to the location where the icon should be displayed:

<box-icon name="hot"></box-icon>

To use solid icons or logos add attribute type as solid or logo before the name

<box-icon type="solid" name="hot"></box-icon>
<box-icon type="logo" name="facebook-square"></box-icon>

The <box-icon> custom element supports the following attributes:

<box-icon
    type = "regular|solid|logo"
    name="adjust|alarms|etc...."
    color="blue|red|etc..."
    size="xs|sm|md|lg|cssSize"
    rotate="90|180|270"
    flip="horizontal|vertical"
    border="square|circle"
    animation="spin|tada|etc..."
    pull = "left|right"
></box-icon>
