Helper class to create FontAwesome icons with a predefined markup.

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

[](#installation)

Download through composer:

```
composer require digbang/font-awesome

```

Add the service provider and facade to your `config/app.php`:

```
'providers' => [
    // ...
    Digbang\FontAwesome\FontAwesomeServiceProvider::class,

],

'aliases' => [
    // ...
    'FontAwesome' => Digbang\FontAwesome\Facade::class,
],
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Through the facade

[](#through-the-facade)

```
FontAwesome::icon('icon', 'extra-class') //
// or...
FontAwesome::icon('icon', ['class' => 'extra-class']) //
```

### Through the helper function

[](#through-the-helper-function)

```
fa('icon', 'extra-class') //
// or...
fa('icon', ['class' => 'extra-class']) //
```

### HTML Attributes

[](#html-attributes)

You can also add any other attributes to the html. Doing...

```
fa('times', ['title' => 'Delete this!']) //
```

### Changing the tag

[](#changing-the-tag)

You can change the tag used by the library. Doing...

```
FontAwesome::setTag('span');

fa('edit'); //
```

### Standalone usage

[](#standalone-usage)

Non-Laravel projects can still use this, but the Facade and helper function won't be available.

```
$fa = new Digbang\FontAwesome\FontAwesome;
$fa->setTag('span');
$fa->icon('times', 'text-danger'); //
```
