A CakePHP plugin to

- make working with HTML and helpers more convenient
- provide (font) icons from various libraries out of the box
- together with IdeHelper also provide auto-complete on those icons

- [Bootstrap](https://icons.getbootstrap.com/)
- [FontAwesome](https://fontawesome.com/icons) v4/v5/v6/v7

- [Feather](https://feathericons.com/)
- [Lucide](https://lucide.dev/) (modern Feather fork with 1000+ icons)
- [Heroicons](https://heroicons.com/) (by Tailwind CSS team)

You can also add your own custom icon set.

This branch is for **CakePHP 5.1+**. See [version map](https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-templating/wiki#cakephp-version-map) for details.
