Django 4 compatible + FA 6

This is a fork of https://github.com/BenjjinF/django-fontawesome-5 and I made some minor changes so this is compatible with my Django 4 Projects and makes use of Fontawesome 6.0.0

I consider renaming this to django-fontawesome-6 in the near future and to provide a new python module.


Semi-Maintained

This is a best-effort fork, I try to keep it up-to-date but can't promise any further development.

django-fontawesome-6

A utility for using icons in models, forms, and templates and supports Django 4.0.

Migration guide from django-fontawesome

  1. Remove all occurences of {% fontawesome_stylesheet %}
  2. Replace {% load fontawesome %} with {% load fontawesome_6 %}
  3. Replace '{% fontawesome_icon' with '{% fa6_icon'
  4. Replace iconnames, for example "bell" needs to be replaced with "bell fas" and "linedin-square" with "linkedin fab"

Installation / Usage

pipenv install django-fontawesome-6

Add 'fontawesome_6' to your installed INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    ...
    'fontawesome_6',
)

Import and use IconField:

from fontawesome_6.fields import IconField

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

Include Static Files

{% load fontawesome_6 %}

<head>
  {% fontawesome_6_static %} 
  ...
</head>
