fa-extract
==========

[](#fa-extract)

A tool to extract only used icons from Font Awesome JS/SVG icons sets.

### Unsupported, archived, I have started using a different icon pack ( by @Zraly) and a different loader (I embed SVG icons into my HTML with [spaze/svg-icons-latte](https://github.com/spaze/svg-icons-latte))

[](#unsupported-archived-i-have-started-using-a-different-icon-pack-httpshumbleiconscom-by-zraly-and-a-different-loader-i-embed-svg-icons-into-my-html-with-spazesvg-icons-latte)

This should be considered a quick and dirty hack, a *pre-alpha* code. I use it to make my Font Awesome JS file smaller but YMMV.

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer create-project spaze/fa-extract path/to/install

```

E.g.

```
composer create-project spaze/fa-extract vendor/spaze/fa-extract

```

Or wherever. This is installed as a *project*, not a library, because it's not a library. Your project code is not calling it directly and it might have a dependencies in the future that might collide with your project dependencies.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
php vendor/spaze/fa-extract/bin/fa-extract . ~/desktop/fontawesome-free-5.9.0-web > used.js

```

Minify
------

[](#minify)

You can minify the output (`used.js` above) using [Closure Compiler](https://closure-compiler.appspot.com/home) to save roughly 50% of the file size.
