Requirements

[](#requirements)

- SilverStripe 3.1

Installation Instructions
-------------------------

[](#installation-instructions)

Installation can be done either by composer or by manually downloading a release.

### Via composer (best practice)

[](#via-composer-best-practice)

`composer require "thisisbd/silverstripe-fontawesome-iconpickerfield:*"`

### Manually

[](#manually)

1. Download the module from [the releases page](https://github.com/thisisbd/silverstripe-fontawesome-iconpickerfield/releases).
2. Extract the file (if you are on windows try 7-zip for extracting tar.gz files
3. Make sure the folder after being extracted is named 'fontawesome-iconpickerfield'
4. Place this directory in your sites root directory. This is the one with framework and cms in it.
5. Visit `/?flush` to clear the manifest cache.

Usage Overview
--------------

[](#usage-overview)

```
private static $db = array(
    'FontAwesomeIcon' => 'Varchar'
);

```

In `getCMSFields` do this or something similar:

```
public function getCMSFields()
{
    $fields = parent::getCMSFields();

    $fields->addFieldToTab(
	    'Root.Main',
	    FontAwesomeIconPickerField::create('FontAwesomeIcon', 'Font Awesome Icon')
    );

    return $fields;
}

```

Frontend implementation
-----------------------

[](#frontend-implementation)

Suggested is to always use the latest version of FontAwesome, as the module tries to get all the available icons from the FontAwesome YML file on Github.

``

Known Issues
