This is a fork of https://github.com/BenjjinF/django-fontawesome-5 and I made some minor changes so this is compatible with my Django 4 Projects and makes use of Fontawesome 6.0.0
I renamed this to repo to "django-fontawesome-6" to provide a new python module.
This is a best-effort fork, I try to keep it up-to-date but can't promise any further development.
A utility for using icons in models, forms, and templates and supports Django 4.0.
- Remove all occurences of {% fontawesome_stylesheet %}
- Replace {% load fontawesome %} with {% load fontawesome_6 %}
- Replace '{% fontawesome_icon' with '{% fa6_icon'
- Replace iconnames, for example "bell" needs to be replaced with "bell fas" and "linedin-square" with "linkedin fab"
pipenv install django-fontawesome-6
Add 'fontawesome_6' to your installed INSTALLED_APPS:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'fontawesome_6',
)
Import and use IconField:
from fontawesome_6.fields import IconField
class Category(models.Model):
...
icon = IconField()
Include Static Files
{% load fontawesome_6 %}
<head>
{% fontawesome_6_static %}
...
</head>
You can configure django-fontawesome to use another release/source/cdn by specifying::
FONTAWESOME_6_CSS = URL or None
default: 'fontawesome_6/css/django-fontawesome.css'
FONTAWESOME_6_CSS_ADMIN = URL or path
default: None
FONTAWESOME_6_ICON_CLASS = 'default' or 'semantic_ui'
default: 'default'
FONTAWESOME_6_PREFIX = 'custom_prefix'
default: 'fa'
You can do a simple render in your template like this:
{% for category in categories.all %}
{% if category.icon %}
{{ category.icon.as_html }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
Or you can use the {% fa6_icon %} template tag.
{% fa6_icon 'github' 'fab' %}
