Update CDN URLs in the README (#2930)
* Update CDN URLs in the README

The new URLs link to the latest within the v2 major release, whereas the 
old URLs would always link to the @latest release. As a result, someone 
using those URLs might end up with a broken website when a major version 
is released and icons are removed.

* Update Unpkg URL to link to the simple-icons page

* Add note regarding @latest

Simple Icons

Simple Icons

Over 1000 Free SVG icons for popular brands. See them all on one page at SimpleIcons.org. Contributions, corrections & requests can be made on GitHub. Started by Dan Leech.

Usage

General Usage

Icons can be downloaded as SVGs directly from our website - simply click the icon you want, and the download should start automatically.

CDN Usage

Icons can be served from a CDN such as JSDelivr or Unpkg. Simply use the simple-icons npm package and specify a version in the URL like the following:

<img height="32" width="32" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/simple-icons@v2/icons/[ICON NAME].svg" />
<img height="32" width="32" src="https://unpkg.com/simple-icons@v2/icons/[ICON NAME].svg" />

Where [ICON NAME] is replaced by the icon name, for example:

<img height="32" width="32" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/simple-icons@v2/icons/simpleicons.svg" />
<img height="32" width="32" src="https://unpkg.com/simple-icons@v2/icons/simpleicons.svg" />

These examples use the latest major version. This means you won't receive any updates following the next major release. You can use @latest instead to receive updates indefinitely. However, this will result in a 404 error if the icon is removed.

Node Usage

The icons are also available through our npm package. To install, simply run:

$ npm install simple-icons

The API can then be used as follows:

const simpleIcons = require('simple-icons');

console.log(simpleIcons.get('Simple Icons'));

/*
{
    title: 'Simple Icons',
    slug: 'simpleicons',
    hex: '111111',
    source: 'https://simpleicons.org/',
    svg: '<svg role="img" viewBox="0 0 24 24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">...</svg>',
    path: 'M12 12v-1.5c-2.484 ...'
}
*/

Alternatively you can import the needed icons individually. This is useful if you are e.g. compiling your code with webpack and therefore have to be mindful of your package size:

const icon = require('simple-icons/icons/simpleicons');

console.log(icon);

/*
{
    title: 'Simple Icons',
    slug: 'simpleicons',
    hex: '111111',
    source: 'https://simpleicons.org/',
    svg: '<svg role="img" viewBox="0 0 24 24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">...</svg>',
    path: 'M12 12v-1.5c-2.484 ...'
}
*/

TypeScript Usage

There are also TypeScript type definitions for the Node package. To use them, simply run:

$ npm install @types/simple-icons

PHP Usage

The icons are also available through our Packagist package. To install, simply run:

$ composer require simple-icons/simple-icons

The package can then be used as follows:

<?php

echo file_get_contents('path/to/package/icons/simple-icons.svg');

// <svg role="img" viewBox="0 0 24 24" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">...</svg>
?>
