Usage

0. First Things

This library does not provide Font Awesome so make sure you fulfill that dependency Depending on what FontAwesome you own, LICENSE may need to be set to any of [free, pro, all] and also $icon_type may need to be set to any of [brands, duotone, light, regular, solid, all]

1. Initialize

Initialize by calling to the FontAwesome() Class

    $font_awesome = new \ToneflixCode\FontAwesome(LICENSE);

2. Icons Array

To get an array of all icons available to your provided params:

    $icon_type = "solid";   //The type of icons you are requesting for
    $icons     = $font_awesome->icons($icon_type);
    print_r($icons);

3. Html Select

The library can help you generate a html select with icons set as options and example of what to expect would be:

    <select name="icon" class="icon-class">
        <option value="fas fa-fa-500px">500px</option>
    </select>

Implementation can easily be done

    $icon_type = "solid";           //The type of icons you are requesting for
    $selected  = 'fas fa-fa-500px'; //The currently selected icon
    $class     = "form-control";    //The class to be added to select html element
    $titles    = true;              //Setting this to true will apply a ucwords() function 
                                    //and remove all [-] to an icon then make it a title

    $icons     = $font_awesome->selector($selected, $class, $titles, $icon_type);
    echo $icons;
