fa6-icons

This module provides the free icons from Font Awesome v6 in a python-friendly form.

The actual SVGs and associated data are licensed on the same terms as the originals – this package only adds a little on top to make them easier to use from Python.

Install

pip install fa6_icons

…or…

conda install -c fastai fa6_icons

How to use

Two objects are provided, svgs and dims.

from fa6_icons import svgs,dims

These are both AttrDict objects, which behave as dicts, but can also be accessed with dotted-attrs. They contain the same keys. To search them, use standard python dict approaches, e.g:

[o for o in svgs if 'addr' in o]

['address_book', 'address_card']

Each style is available as a key for each SVG and dims entry, e.g:

dims.address_card

{'regular': (512, 576), 'solid': (512, 576)}

In a notebook environment, SVGs are displayed:

svgs.address_card.regular

To make attr access more convenient, hyphens are replaced with underscores, and icon names starting with a digit are prefixed with an underscore.

Use width to view the svg in a notebook with a different width (it defaults to 300px).

svgs._9.solid.width(25)

When stringified, the SVG text is returned:

print(svgs._9.solid)
