FontAwesome+iOS =================== Font awesome is an iconic font. Read more about it on http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/ This category brings this great iconic font on iOS. Usage -------------------- First, make sure you have `FontAwesome.ttf` bundled in your project and that `UIAppFonts` key in the project's plist file contains a String item named `FontAwesome.ttf` Then add the `NSString+FontAwesome` category to the project. UILabel *label = [...] label.font = [UIFont fontWithName:kFontAwesomeFamilyName size:20]; You can now use enums for all the different iconic characters label.text = [NSString fontAwesomeIconStringForEnum:FAGithub]; or you can reference them by using the class identifiers listed here http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/#all-icons label.text = [NSString fontAwesomeIconStringForIconIdentifier:@"fa-github"]; or you can add the `UIImage+FontAwesome` category to generate icon image directly UIImage *github = [UIImage imageWithIcon:@"fa-github" backgroundColor:[UIColor purpleColor] iconColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:0.9 green:0.9 blue:0.9 alpha:255] iconScale:2.f fontSize:20]; then you will get an icon like this ![image](Resources/fontawesome-github.png) That's all. Have a look at the small demo project for further information. FAImageView -------------------- FAImageView is now extended and contains a new property called `defaultView` that is shown when the image is set to nil. It is possible to use one the font-awesome icon as a default placeholder for an image view. FAImageView *imageView = [[FAImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0.f, 0.f, 100.f, 100.f)]; imageView.image = nil; [imageView setDefaultIconIdentifier:@"fa-github"]; License ------------------- This project uses the FontAwesome fix made by Pit Garbe that you can find at https://github.com/leberwurstsaft/FontAwesome-for-iOS Version 2.0 of the Font Awesome font, CSS, and LESS files are licensed under CC BY 3.0: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ A mention of 'Font Awesome - http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome' in human-readable source code is considered acceptable attribution (most common on the web).
