fontawesome-markers
===================

[](#fontawesome-markers)

An export of the fontawesome glyphs into named SVG Paths in javascript.

All glyphs have the same names as font-awesome, except they are capitalised, and underscored, eg "exclamation-circle" becomes "EXCLAMATION\_CIRCLE"

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Install on bower with `bower install fontawesome-markers`Or, install with NPM with `npm install fontawesome-markers`Or, just add `fontawesome-markers.min.js` to your page and reference it like the examples below.

If you're a masochist, you can try extracting other webfonts (or newer versions of Font Awesome) using the scripts in `extractor/`

Example - Font Awesome on Google Maps
-------------------------------------

[](#example---font-awesome-on-google-maps)

You can use these paths, in products like Google Maps, for example:

```
new google.maps.Marker({
    map: map,
    icon: {
        path: fontawesome.markers.EXCLAMATION_CIRCLE,
        scale: 0.5,
        strokeWeight: 0.2,
        strokeColor: 'black',
        strokeOpacity: 1,
        fillColor: '#f8ae5f',
        fillOpacity: 0.7,
    },
    clickable: false,
    position: new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng)
});
```

Example - Font Awesome on Canvas
--------------------------------

[](#example---font-awesome-on-canvas)

You can also draw them to canvas, using the new Path2D api, you may need to use a [polyfill for unsupported browsers](https://github.com/google/canvas-5-polyfill)

```
var canvas = document.getElementsByTagName('canvas')[0];
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
var path = new Path2D(fontawesome.markers.EXCLAMATION_CIRCLE);
ctx.strokeStyle="#ff0000";
ctx.lineWidth=2;
ctx.fillStyle="#0000ff";
ctx.translate(0, 64);
ctx.fill(path);
ctx.stroke(path);
```

Example - Loading Font Awesome Markers via JSON/ XHR
----------------------------------------------------

[](#example---loading-font-awesome-markers-via-json-xhr)

Instead of including it as an inline script, you can also load it with JSON/XHR.

```
var fontawesome = {
   markers: null
};
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onload = function(){
  fontawesome.markers = JSON.parse(this.responseText);
}
xhr.open("get", "fontawesome-markers.json", true);
xhr.send();
```
