Install
-------

.. code-block:: shell

pip install wagtailfontawesome



Then add `wagtailfontawesome` to your installed apps.

Usage
-----

StreamField
~~~~~~~~~~~

Add FontAwesome icons to StreamField `the regular way <http://docs.wagtail.io/en/latest/topics/streamfield.html#basic-block-types>`_, just set `icon="fa-something"`. Reference `the full list <http://fontawesome.io/icons/>`_.

wagtailmodeladmin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

`wagtailmodeladmin <https://github.com/rkhleics/wagtailmodeladmin>`_ is supported if you're using Wagtail 1.4 or above. Similar to StreamField, just set `icon="fa-something"` on your menu item.

Hallo plugins
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can use FontAwesome icons on custom Hallo buttons by setting the `icon` option to `icon icon-fa-something`.

.. code-block:: javascript

button.hallobutton({
label: "Blockquote",
icon: 'icon icon-fa-quote-left',
});



Other parts of the admin
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can include icons anywhere in the admin with:

```html+django
<i class="icon icon-fa-something"></i>
.. code-block:: None


In Wagtail 1.3.x and below you can only use icons on the page editor screen.

### On the front-end

You can also include the CSS on the front end, and follow FontAwesome's documentation.


html+django
{% load wagtailfontawesome %}

{% fontawesome_css %}
.. code-block:: None


This will generate equivalent markup to:


html+django
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'wagtailfontawesome/css/fontawesome.css' %}">
.. code-block:: None


Then include icons anywhere on the front-end with:


html+django
<i class="fa fa-something"></i>
.. code-block:: None


### Using wagtailfontawesome as an optional dependency

If you want to distribute a Wagtail plugin with FontAwesome icons, you can use this package as an optional dependency by checking if it's installed in Django, and falling back otherwise.


python
from django.apps import apps
try:
from wagtail.core.blocks import StructBlock
except ImportError: # fallback for Wagtail <2.0
from wagtail.wagtailcore.blocks import StructBlock


class BlockquoteBlock(StructBlock):
quote = TextBlock()
author = TextBlock()

class Meta:
if apps.is_installed('wagtailfontawesome'):
icon = 'fa-quote-left'
```

(in this case, the fallback is to do nothing)
