Via Composer
composer require owenvoke/blade-fontawesomeBlade Font Awesome also offers the ability to use features from Blade Icons like default classes, default attributes, etc. If you'd like to configure these, publish the blade-fontawesome.php config file:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=blade-fontawesome-configIcons can be used as self-closing Blade components which will be compiled to SVG icons:
<x-fas-cloud/>You can also pass classes to your icon components:
<x-fas-cloud class="w-6 h-6 text-gray-500"/>And even use inline styles:
<x-fas-cloud style="color: #555"/>Note: These are default prefixes for the specified icon sets, these can all be configured in the
config/blade-fontawesome.phpfile.
Free Icon Sets
- Brands (
fab) - Regular (
far) - Solid (
fas)
Pro Icon Sets
- Duotone (
fad) - Light (
fal) - Thin (
fat) - Sharp Regular (
far:sharp) - Sharp Light (
fal:sharp) - Sharp Solid (
fas:sharp) - Sharp Thin (
fat:sharp) - Sharp Duotone (
fad:sharp) - Custom Kit Icons (
fak)
To remove any pro icon sets, set the value to false in the blade-fontawesome config file. For example:
'sharp-regular' => false,If you want to use the raw SVG icons as assets, you can publish them using:
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=blade-fontawesome --forceThen use them in your views like:
<img src="{{ asset('vendor/blade-fontawesome/solid/cloud.svg') }}" width="10" height="10"/>Blade Font Awesome supports pro icons using npm for downloads.
To use this, install Font Awesome Pro using npm i --save @fortawesome/fontawesome-pro, and then run the following Artisan command to add the icons to your resources path.
php artisan blade-fontawesome:sync-icons --proBlade Font Awesome will then automatically detect and use the pro icons under the resources/icons/blade-fontawesome path.
Blade Font Awesome supports the use of the npm kits via the --kit option.
To use a configured kit, Font Awesome docs installing kits using npm install --save '@awesome.me/kit-KIT_CODE@latest', and then run the following Artisan command to add the icons to your resources path.
php artisan blade-fontawesome:sync-icons --kit=KIT_CODEBlade Font Awesome will then use the icons from the kit to populate the resources/icons/blade-fontawesome directory.
Because of the sheer number of icons, a small performance hit can be seen when using pro or kit-supplied icons. If you'd like to mitigate this, you can cache the icons. To do this, run the following Artisan command:
php artisan icons:cacheBlade Font Awesome uses Blade Icons under the hood. Please refer to the Blade Icons readme for additional functionality.
