Font Awesome for Phoenix

HTML helper functions to create Font Awesome tags easily in Phoenix. Based on the great font-awesome-rails gem, we just couldn't live without it in Phoenix.

Please note this does not include Font Awesome itself, just helpers to make it easier to use.

Installation

1. Add font_awesome_phoenix to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

    def deps do
      [{:font_awesome_phoenix, "~> 1.0"}]
    end
   

2. Add the HTML module to your web.ex to make it available to your templates:

    def view do
      ...
      import FontAwesomePhoenix.HTML
    end
   

Basic Usage

In your templates:

<%= fa_icon("globe") %>
# <i class="fa fa-globe"></i>

<%= fa_icon(["globe", "2x"]) %>
# <i class="fa fa-globe fa-2x"></i>

<%= fa_icon("home", text: "Back to Home!") %>
# <i class="fa fa-home"></i> Back to Home!

<%= fa_icon("user-plus", text: "New User", align_tag: :right) %>
# New User <i class="fa fa-user-plus"></i>

<%= fa_icon("camera-retro 4x", class: "myclass") %>
# <i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-4x myclass"></i>

<%= fa_icon("at", class: "x", data: [mood: :happy]) do %>
  <span class="foo">Something</span>
<% end %>
# <i class="fa fa-at x" data-mood="happy">
#   <span class="foo">Something</span>
# </i>

Passed-in text and classes are escaped, and the returned strings are marked safe. Be sure to read the documentation too!
