django-octicons-v10

Django templatetags for GitHub Octicons v10.0.0.

This library aims to provide a similar interface to the official JavaScript and Ruby octicon libraries provided by GitHub, but as Django templatetags.

django-octicons is a library that already does this, but currently for an older version of octicons.

Installation

Install the latest version:

pip3 install django-octicons-v10

Place octicons_v10 into your installed apps:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # blah, blah, other apps...
    "octicons_v10",
]

Usage

Load the octicons tag library in your Django template:

{% load octicons %}

Use template tags where you want to place an Octicon:

{% octicon "git-branch" %}

Classes

You can pass classes to your shiny new octicon:

<a class="btn">
    {% octicon "git-branch" class="text-purple" %}
    Branches
</a>

Note: The following classes are assigned to the octicon by default:

• octicon
• octicon-{ICON_NAME}, for example octicon-git-branch

Sizing

You can pass width or height or both for your desired size:

<a href="#" class="Header-link">
    {% octicon "mark-github" width="32" %}
    GitHub
</a>

If only width or height is passed, then the other scales accordingly.

Note: The default size is 16px by 16px.

16px and 24px variants

The icon variant chosen is dependent on the size specified. If either your width or height is more than 16, then the 24px variant will be chosen.

What if I want to specify a variant regardless of size?

If say, you wanted a 32 width icon, but wanted to use the 16px variant, you can do so by specifying the whole variant name, in the form {ICON_NAME}-{ICON_SIZE}:

{% octicon "alert-16" width="32" %}
