Faker extension for randomly picking a FontAwesome (5.11.0 / 2019-11-15) icon.
The library contains all of FontAwesome's Library.
composer require imsidz/fontawesome-generator
Alternatively, add to your composer.json file with:
"require": {
"imsidz/fontawesome-generator": "dev-master"
}
Use the FontAwesomeGeneratorProvider
class in combination with Faker to produce the random font name:
<?php
require __DIR__ .'/vendor/autoload.php';
use faker\provider\FontAwesomeGeneratorProvider;
$faker = Faker\Factory::create();
$faker->addProvider(new FontAwesomeGeneratorProvider($faker));
$colour = $faker->fontAwesomeIcon();
?>
<i style="font-size:200px" class="fa <?php echo $icon; ?>" aria-hidden="true"></i>
This will generate an i tag with a random fontawesome icon.
Within the vendor/imsidz/fontawesomegenerator/
folder you will find an index.php
file which can be moved
to your root directory and will provide an example of both functions.
There are two PHPUnit tests that will check that the library will return a correct FontAwesome name value and that it is contained within the 5.9.0 library.
