Glyphfriend

Glyphfriend is a Visual Studio 2015 extension to enhance the existing Intellisense to display preview glyphs for many of the common glyph-based font libraries like Font Awesome, Foundation, IonIcons and more.

Supported Glyphs and Libraries

A subset of the Glyphicons found in the Twitter Bootstrap library are suported; however there is presently a conflict with the built-in Intellsense in Visual Studio 2015 that can cause these items to be overridden.

Getting Started

You can download and install Glyphfriend from the Visual Studio Gallery here. After installing the extension, simply add any of the applicable libraries above to your project. Glyphfriend should detect all of the appropriate classes within the CSS files and apply the appropriate glyphs within the Intellisense drop-down list when you start typing :

Missing Something?

Pull Requests are openly accepted and encouraged.

The libraries that were chosen were just some of the most common ones that I had come across, but I am sure that I left quite a few out. If you find that one of your favorites is missing, you can either report it within the Issues area or just clone this repository, make a fork and add your changes (and then just make a pull request when you are all done).

Thanks

I just want to give a big thanks to Mads Kristensen for all of his assistance with this project (and getting me interested in Visual Studio Extension development).
