This is the [Font Awesome](http://fontawesome.io/) extension for [Yii framework 2.0](http://www.yiiframework.com/). It encapsulates [Font Awesome](https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome) distribution assets and thus makes using Font Awesome in Yii applications extremely easy.

---

INSTALLATION
------------

[](#installation)

The preferred install way is through [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/):

```
composer require yidas/yii2-fontawesome

```

Or you could edit `composer.json` with adding package in require section then run `composer update`.

```
"yidas/yii2-fontawesome": ">=5.0.0"

```

---

CONFIGURATION
-------------

[](#configuration)

Register or depend Asset into your application:

```
yidas\yii\fontawesome\FontawesomeAsset
```

For example, to register Font Awesome assets in view :

```
\yidas\yii\fontawesome\FontawesomeAsset::register($this);
```

Or as dependency in your app asset bundle :

```
namespace app\assets;
use yii\web\AssetBundle;
class AppAsset extends AssetBundle
{
    public $basePath = '@webroot';
    public $baseUrl = '@web';
    public $css = [
        'css/site.css',
    ];
    public $js = [
    ];
    public $depends = [
        'yii\web\YiiAsset',
        'yii\bootstrap\BootstrapAsset',
        'yidas\yii\fontawesome\FontawesomeAsset',
    ];
}
```

### CDN Asset Mode

[](#cdn-asset-mode)

You could switch Asset to use CDN distribution by configuring `config` file:

```
'components' => [
    'assetManager' => [
        'bundles' => [
            'yidas\yii\fontawesome\FontawesomeAsset' => [
                'cdn' => true,
                // 'cdnVersion' => '5.11.0',
            ],
        ],
    ],
],
```

#### Specify a CDN source

[](#specify-a-cdn-source)

You could also specify CDN source you like:

```
'assetManager' => [
    'bundles' => [
        'yidas\yii\fontawesome\FontawesomeAsset' => [
            'cdn' => true,
            'cdnCSS' => ['//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/5.11.0/css/font-awesome.min.css'],
        ],
    ],
],
```
