// For the first matched element, access to a plugin property value
$('.my').data('iconpicker').iconpickerProperty;

// For the first matched element, call a plugin instance method with the given args
$('.my').data('iconpicker').iconpickerMethod('methodArg1', 'methodArg2' /* , other args */);

// Call and apply a plugin method to EACH matched element.

TO-DO

• Support other icon fonts
• Fix: input marked as error when it is empty
• Add role=button to each item, for making them tabbable
• Ability to use the user input as the filter instead of the popover input
• Fix bottomRight position when using component mode
• Better dropdown compatibility
• Ability to mix various class prefixes and use a customizable class formatter function
• Ability to select and copy the icon character (the would need to be hardcoded in js) (Use the chrome extension)
