README
This plugin provides a simple helper for creating links containing markup for Font Awesome icons with properly escaped link text. You will need to install Font Awesome separately.
Requirements
- CakePHP 3.x
Use the 2.x version for CakePHP 2.
Installation
This plugin can be installed using Composer:-
composer require drmonkeyninja/cakephp-font-awesome:3.*
Then add the following line to your bootstrap.php to load the plugin.
Plugin::load('FontAwesome');
You need to ensure the helper is loaded before you use it in your templates. You can do this from your AppView.php
file in the initialize()
method:-
public function initialize()
{
$this->loadHelper('FontAwesome.Fa');
}
Usage
To render a link containing the markup for the fa-chevron-circle-right
icon at the end you can do:-
<?= $this->Fa->link('chevron-circle-right', __('Proceed'), ['controller' => 'pages', 'display', 'next']) ?>
If you want the icon to appear before the text you can use the before
option:-
<?= $this->Fa->link('chevron-circle-right', __('Proceed'), ['controller' => 'pages', 'display', 'next'], ['before' => true]) ?>
