PurPur

Free ‘plug and play’ set of SVG icons designed specifically for web projects. Available as a Ruby gem. Just use icon names with your templates and styles — and all the rest will be done automagically.

The 'purpur' gem originaly based on 'EvilIcons'.

We support IE 11+, Firefox, Chrome, Safari (desktop and mobile), Opera, Android 4+.

Add the 'purpur' gem to your Gemfile:

gem 'purpur'

This gem is under deep development, so we would reccomend to use master branch:

gem 'purpur', github: 'cimon-io/purpur'

Add the purpur icons require to your application.css:

/*
 *= require purpur
 */

Next, you have to place all svg-icons inside app/assets/icons folder and generate purpur.svg file:

bin/rake purpur:process

Finally, you can render the icon using the icon_tag helper. Here are some examples:

<%= icon_tag 'search' %>
<%= icon_tag 'arrow-right', size: :m %>
<%= icon_tag 'envelope', size: :l, class: "custom-class" %>

If you would like to use icons on the client side only, include purpur_meta_tag to the head section and require purpur.js. You'll have purpur object with method html which return raw html to insert. Example:

  purpur.html('profile')

The meta tag is needed to know the path to the purpur.svg resource.
