django-fontawesome

django-fontawesome is a Django app that provides a couple of Fontawesome/Django related utilities, namely:

an IconField to associate Fontawesome icons with model instances
templatetags to render Fontawesome icons

also included:

admin support for the IconField
fr locale translation

Requirements

PyYAML
Select2 (included)
JQuery (uses django’s jquery in admin panel)

Settings

By default, django-fontawesome ships with and uses the lastest fontawesome release. You can configure django-fontawesome to use another release/source/cdn by specifying:

# default uses locally shipped version at 'fontawesome/css/font-awesome.min.css'
FONTAWESOME_CSS_URL = '//cdn.example.com/fontawesome-min.css'  # absolute url
FONTAWESOME_CSS_URL = 'myapp/css/fontawesome.min.css'  # relative url

You can also tell it the fontawesome prefix, which as of right now is ‘fa’, using:

FONTAWESOME_PREFIX = 'bg'  # default is 'fa'

Installation / Usage

Install via pip:
```
pip install django-fontawesome
```
Add ‘fontawesome’ to your installed apps setting like this:
```
INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'fontawesome',
)
```

Import and use the IconField:

from fontawesome.fields import IconField


class Category(models.Model):
    ...
    icon = IconField()

Here’s what the widget looks like in the admin panel:

admin-widget

You can then render the icon in your template like this:

{% for category in categories.all %}
    {% if category.icon %}
        {{ category.icon.as_html }}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

django-fontawesome ships with two template tags, fontawesome_stylesheet and fontawesome_icon.
- the former inserts a stylesheet link with a pre-configured href according to the FONTAWESOME_CSS_URL setting
- the latter renders icons, and accepts the following optional keywords arguments: large, spin, fixed, li, border: (true/false), rotate: (90/180/270), title: (string)
- you can also colorize an icon using the color='red' keyword argument to the fontawesome_icon template tag
- example usage:
```
{% load fontawesome %}

<head>
  {% fontawesome_stylesheet %}
  ...
</head>

{% fontawesome_icon 'user' color='red' %}

{% fontawesome_icon 'star' large=True spin=True %}

<ul class="fa-ul">
   <li> {% fontawesome_icon 'home' rotate=90 li=True %} One</li>
</ul>
```
profit!!!
