README

A Font Awesome icon picker for Laravel Nova.

Install

composer require mlsolutions/nova-font-awesome-field

Usage

Add the field.

    /**
     * Get the fields displayed by the resource.
     *
     * @param NovaRequest $request
     * @return array
     */
    public function fields(NovaRequest $request): array
    {
        return [
            \MlSolutions\FontAwesomeField\FontAwesome::make(__('Icon'), 'icon'),
        ];
    }

Optional: Publish Config

In the config file you can specify the available Font Awesome styles and set default parameters for the field.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="MlSolutions\FontAwesomeField\FieldServiceProvider" --tag="config"

„Remove Icon“ Option

If the field is nullable, the function to remove the icon is also available.

FontAwesome::make('icon')->nullable()

Style Selector

To bypass the config settings use these methods.

Show Style Selector

FontAwesome::make('icon')->showStyleSelector()

Hide Style Selector

FontAwesome::make('icon')->hideStyleSelector()
