silverstripe-fa
===============

[](#silverstripe-fa)

SilverStripe-Addon for font-awesome integration.

New field type
--------------

[](#new-field-type)

This introduces a new SilverStripe field type FAIcon.

Just add a custom field typed FAIcon to your data objects or use one of the data extensions FAIconizedClass or FAIconizedObject.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

### Custom HTML tag (FAIcon.Tag)

[](#custom-html-tag-faicontag)

To use a custom HTML tag. (default is i as recommended)

### Optionally using SS template (FAIcon.UseTemplate)

[](#optionally-using-ss-template-faiconusetemplate)

Per default FAIcon renders itself without template. This is much faster, than using FAIcon.ss. If you're using FAIcons extensively, this can make a noticeably difference.

But if you have a good reason, you are able to switch on template usage by this parameter. The template is named "FAIcon.ss".

### Iconized Classes (DataExtension)

[](#iconized-classes-dataextension)

Make all the objects of a class showing up with the same icon.

```
ClassName:
  FAIcon: home
  extensions:
    - FAIconizedClass

```

In your templates just use $FAIcon.

### Iconized Objects (DataExtension)

[](#iconized-objects-dataextension)

Make the objects of a class showing up with a individual icon, editable within the CMS.

```
ClassName:
  extensions:
    - FAIconizedObject

```

In your templates just use $FAIcon.

Todo
----

[](#todo)

This is just the very first version of this addon. There are some todos on the roadmap:

- Special DataExtension for Iconizable Files (using fa's file-type-icons).
- Optional spinning.
- I18N icon designations.
- Optionally require custom css/fonts or even CDN.
- Tagging FAIcons.
- Enhanced FAIconField with icon display, auto completion, tag search, etc.
- Make CMS menu fa-iconizable.
