Disclaimer

This package is basically a django-fontawesome fork with support of latest django, uploaded to PyPi. Reason of creating this repo was sadly ignored merge request. All the credits goes to authors of source repository and merge request.

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-f-awesome
    
  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>
