Project description

https://badge.fury.io/py/django-fontawesome.svg

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

  1. Install via pip:

    pip install django-fontawesome
  2. Add ‘fontawesome’ to your installed apps setting like this:

    INSTALLED_APPS = (
        ...
        'fontawesome',
    )
  3. 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

  1. 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 %}
  2. 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>
