To host Material icons offline with JavaScript, we can install the material-icons-font package.
We install it by running
npm install material-icons-font --save
Then we add some @import statements into our SCSS code by writing
@import "~material-icons-font/sass/variables";
@import "~material-icons-font/sass/mixins";
$MaterialIcons_FontPath: "~material-icons-font/fonts";
@import "~material-icons-font/sass/main";
@import "~material-icons-font/sass/Regular";
to include the icon files.
Then we use it by writing
<i class="material-icons">face</i>
<i class="material-icons md-48">face</i>
<i class="material-icons md-light md-inactive">face</i>
