## What it is
Evil Icons is a free, plug-and-play set of clean SVG icons designed for web projects, distributed as a Ruby gem, an npm package, and via CDN. It integrates with Rails, Sinatra, Middleman, Grunt, Gulp, and React so icons can be rendered by name in templates with automatic sizing and styling.

## Use cases
- add svg icons to a rails app
- use an icon pack with gulp or grunt builds
- serve icons from a cdn with data attributes
- render icons in sinatra or middleman templates
- use svg icons in react projects
- style and size icons via css classes

## When to choose
- you need a small, clean svg icon set for a web project
- you are on rails or sprockets and want helper-based icon rendering
- you want zero-config icon usage via cdn and data attributes

## When to avoid
- you need a large or frequently updated icon library
- you require active maintenance or new icon contributions
- you need icons for native mobile or desktop apps

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ui-components, templating
- domain: web-development, frontend, web-design
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: svg-icons, icon-pack, rails, sprockets, gulp, grunt, cdn, ruby-gem, web-server, nodejs
