[](#widget-to-select-a-symbol-from-the-font-awesome-collection-for-yii-20-php-framework) **SymbolPicker** lets you select the class name for a symbol in [Font Awesome](http://fontawesome.io/) (up to version 4.3). It also lets you select class names for a color and for an additional effect. A demonstration of SymbolPicker widget is [here](http://www.sjaakpriester.nl/software/symbolpicker). Prerequisite ------------ [](#prerequisite) **SymbolPicker** only makes sense if Font Awesome is loaded in your site. The easiest way to achieve this, is to add a line to the `css` property of the site's `AppAsset.php` file (look into the `assets` directory), like so: ``` ``` There are [other methods](http://fontawesome.io/get-started/) to make Font Awesome available to your site. **Notice** that **SymbolPicker** in its current form will not work with FontAwesome 5.0 and higher. Installation ------------ [](#installation) The preferred way to install **SymbolPicker** is through [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/). Either add the following to the require section of your `composer.json` file: `"sjaakp/yii2-symbol-picker": "*"` Or run: `composer require sjaakp/yii2-symbol-picker "*"` You can manually install **SymbolPicker** by [downloading the source in ZIP-format](https://github.com/sjaakp/yii2-symbol-picker/archive/master.zip). Using SymbolPicker ------------------ [](#using-symbolpicker) **SymbolPicker** is a Yii 2.0 [InputWidget](http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/yii-widgets-inputwidget.html). Like any other InputWidget it can be associated with a `model` and an `attribute` (or with a `name` and a `value`). **Symbolpicker** is in namespace `sjaakp\symbolpicker`. For instance, to associate **SymbolPicker** with the attribute `'icon'` in a form view, use code like this: ``` use sjaakp\symbolpicker\SymbolPicker; ... ... ``` #### options [](#options) **SymbolPicker** runs 'out of the box'. It has the following options to modify it's behaviour: - **labels**: list of labels used by the widget. If a label is set to `false`, the corresponding element is not rendered. - **icons**: list of selectable Font Awesome icons. Each item is the class name of an icon, without the `'fa-'` part. So, for instance `'calculator'` refers to the `'fa-calculator'` icon. Default: all of the Font Awesome icons, excluding the aliases. Version 4.3. See: . - **colors**: list of selectable colors. Each item is a color name, which will generate a `'col-***'` color class name. For instance `'darkblue'` refers to the class name `'col-darkblue'`. Default: a selection of CSS3 named colors. - **effects**: list of selectable Font Awesome effects. Each item is the class name of an effect, without the `'fa-'` part. So, for instance `'flip-horizontal'` refers to the `'fa-flip-horizontal'` effect. Default: most of the Font Awesome effects. Version 4.3.See: . - **buttonOptions**: array of HTML options for the dropdown buttons. Default: `[]` (empty array). You may use this to set the CSS class of the buttons. Of coarse, **SymbolPicker** also has the normal [InputWidget properties](http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/yii-widgets-inputwidget.html). Color classes ------------- [](#color-classes) CSS color classes for all the CSS3 named colors are in the file `assets\symbol-colors.css`. You may use this in other parts of your project. ### Health Score 30 — LowBetter than 64% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity29 Limited adoption so far Community11 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity50 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
