Using the Add-on

Use the component in your Handlebars templates:

{{fa-icon "camera"}}

This will render:

The aria-hidden Attribute

To better support accessibility (i.e. screen readers), the helper adds the aria-hidden attribute by default:

{{fa-icon "star"}}

Results in:

<i class="fa fa-star" aria-hidden="true"></i>

To remove the aria-hidden attribute:

{{fa-icon "star" ariaHidden=false}}

The aria-label Attribute

To better support accessibility (i.e. screen readers), the helper adds an optional aria-label attribute:

{{fa-icon "star" ariaLabel="Click Me"}}

Results in:

<i class="fa fa-star" aria-label="Click Me"></i>

Actions

You can respond to actions on the icon by passing on action handlers:

{{fa-icon "star" click=(action "myClickHandler")}}

Tag Name

Use tagName to control the generated markup:

{{fa-icon "star" tagName="span"}}

Results in:

<span class="fa fa-star"></span>

Custom Class Names

{{fa-icon "bicycle" class="my-custom-class"}}

Results in:

<i class="fa fa-bicycle my-custom-class"></i>

Title attribute

{{fa-icon "edit" title="Edit the item"}}

Results in:

<i class="fa fa-edit" title="Edit the item"></i>

Customize with Sass/Scss or Less

If you are using the ember-cli-sass or ember-cli-less addon, you can opt-in to the Scss or Less version of font-awesome by adding the following configuration in ember-cli-build.js:

var app = new EmberApp({
  'ember-font-awesome': {
    useScss: true, // for ember-cli-sass
    useLess: true  // for ember-cli-less
  }
});

Then in your app.scss or app.less:

@import "font-awesome";

Excluding assets

You can configure the addon to not import any assets (CSS or font files) by adding the following configuration in ember-cli-build.js:

var app = new EmberApp({
  'ember-font-awesome': {
    includeFontAwesomeAssets: false
  }
});

You can also configure the addon to only import specific font formats by adding the following configuration in ember-cli-build.js:

Default: ['eot', 'svg', 'ttf', 'woff', 'woff2', 'otf']

var app = new EmberApp({
  'ember-font-awesome': {
    fontFormats: ['woff', 'woff2']
  }
});

In addition, you can configure the addon to exclude the font file assets entirely by adding the following configuration in ember-cli-build.js:

var app = new EmberApp({
  'ember-font-awesome': {
    includeFontFiles: false
  }
});

Output path

You can change the directory where the fonts are copied to using the following configuration:

var app = new EmberApp({
  'ember-font-awesome': {
    fontsOutput: "/some/dir/"
  }
});

This is useful when you change the output paths for your ember app. By default, ember-font-awesome copies the font files to /dist/fonts. The addon produces a css file to load the fonts that will be included in the vendor css file and expect to find the fonts at ../fonts. If the css directory is not at the same level as the fonts directory, the site won't load the fonts.

For example, moving the css directory to /dist/assets/css would require the fonts directory to be /dist/assets/fonts and the configuration would look like this:

var app = new EmberApp({
    outputPaths: {
        app: {
            css: {
                  app: "/assets/css/app-name.css",
            },
            js: "/assets/js/app-name.js",
        },

        vendor: {
            css: "/assets/css/vendor.css",
            js: "/assets/js/vendor.js",
        },
    },
    'ember-font-awesome': {
        fontsOutput: "/assets/fonts"
    }
});
