Description
-----------

[](#description)

Dependency-free PHP toolset to generate Font Awesome icon classes, HTML tags, and collections (Solid/Regular/Brands). Perfect for projects where you need to work with FA icons.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require bugo/fa-icon-builder
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

A unique decorator is provided for each icon set:

```
// 'fa-brands fa-windows'
echo BrandsIcon::make('windows');

// 'fa-regular fa-user'
echo RegularIcon::make('user');

// 'fa-solid fa-user'
echo SolidIcon::make('user');
```

If you need support for legacy classes, simply pass `true` as the second parameter:

```
// 'fas fa-user'
echo SolidIcon::make('user', true);
```

Extended example:

```
$icon = Icon::make('user', IconStyle::Solid);

// ''
var_dump(
    $icon
        ->color('text-red-500')
        ->size('2xl')
        ->title('User')
        ->fixedWidth()
        ->ariaHidden()
        ->html()
);
```

Additional classes can be passed via the `addClass` method:

```
$icon = SolidIcon::make('heart');

// ''
var_dump(
    $icon
        ->addClass('fa-beat')
        ->html()
);
```

Additionally, random icon retrieval is available:

```
var_dump(Icon::random());
```

You can retrieve the entire collection with all classes at once:

```
var_dump(Icon::collection());
```

Or a specific collection set:

```
var_dump(Icon::collection(IconStyle::Brands));

var_dump(BrandsIcon::collection());
```

You might also find the `IconBuilder` class useful, which can create an icon by its class:

```
var_dump(IconBuilder::make(Icon::random()));
```
