# Icons

## **ICONS**

1. **%icon**:
   * `%icon` is a placeholder selector defined in SCSS.
   * It is used to define common styles for icons.
   * The purpose of `%icon` is to provide a standardized set of styles for displaying icons across the project.
   * Inside `%icon`, the `icon` mixin is included. This mixin generates styles for displaying icons, such as setting the font family, font size, and color.
   * By extending `%icon` in other selectors, you can easily apply these common icon styles to different elements throughout your project.

In summary, `%icon` serves as a convenient way to define and reuse styles for displaying icons in your project. It encapsulates common icon styles, making it easier to maintain consistency and make global changes to icon appearances.

## **Example**

```html
<div class="icon square pd-2">
    <i class="fas fa-heart"></i>
  </div>
  
  <div class="icon circle pd-2">
    <i class="fas fa-star"></i>
  </div>
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://nextgencss.gitbook.io/untitled/quick-start/icons.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
