SilverStripe Shortcode Handling of FontAwesome
==============================================

[](#silverstripe-shortcode-handling-of-fontawesome)

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

[](#installation)

`composer require firesphere/wysiwyg-font-awesome`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Add the FontAwesome CSS to your frontend. Otherwise, fonts won't be loaded.

In your WYSIWYG, add `[fa icon="icon-name" {optional: spin="" rotate="90" size="1|2|3|4" flip="horizontal|vertical"}]`

Note, the values between the curly braces are not required, they are however in the case of `spin`, required to have an empty argument. One of the shortcomings of the current ShortcodeParser in Framework.

In your content, each `[fa icon="my-icon"]` will be rendered as ``

Add custom modifiers
--------------------

[](#add-custom-modifiers)

In your config.yml:

```
FontAwesomeParser:
  modifiers:
    mymodifier:
      code: 'modifyme'
      arguments: true|false
```

If the modifier takes arguments, set it to true, otherwise, it's false (still needs an empty argument though).
