## Usage
### Using via CSS
1. Include the stylesheet on your document's `<head>`
```html
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="boxicons.min.css">
</head>
```
Instead of installing you may use the remote version
```html
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/boxicons@latest/css/boxicons.min.css">
<!-- or -->
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="https://unpkg.com/boxicons@latest/css/boxicons.min.css">
</head>
```
2. 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:
```html
<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:
```html
<script src="https://unpkg.com/boxicons@latest/dist/boxicons.js"></script>
```
To use an icon, add the `<box-icon>` element to the location where the icon should be displayed:
```html
<box-icon name="hot"></box-icon>
```
To use solid icons or logos add attribute `type` as solid or logo before the name
```html
<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:
```html
<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>
```
- `type`: Should always be first and be one of the following values: `regular`,`solid`, `logo`
- `name` : (REQUIRED) the name of the icon to be displayed
- `color`: A color for the icon.
- `size`: The size for the icon. It supports one of two types of values:
- One of the followign shortcuts: `xs`, `sm`, `md`, `lg`
- A css unit size (ex. `60px`)
- `rotate`: one of the following values: `90`, `180`, `270`
- `flip`: one of the following values: `horizontal`, `vertical`
- `border`: one of the following values: `square`, `circle`
- `animation`: One of the following values: `spin`, `tada`, `flashing`, `burst`, `fade-left`, `fade-right`, `spin-hover`, `tada-hover`, `flashing-hover`, `burst-hover`, `fade-left-hover`, `fade-right-hover`
- `pull`: one of the following values: `left`,`right`
The Custom Element class (`BoxIconElement`) exposes the following static members:
- `tagName`: property that holds the HTML element tag name. Default: `box-icon`
- `defined([tagName])`: Defines the Element in the custom element registry using either the tagName provided on input or the (default) the one defined on the Class.
- `cdnUrl`: property that holds the URL that will be used to retrieve the images. URL should point to the folder that contains the images. example: `//unpkg.com/boxicons@1.5.2/svg` (no trailing forward slash)
- `getIconSvg(iconName)`: method used to retrieve the SVG image. Should return a Promise that resolves with the SVG source (String).
