Usage

Icons can be used a 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"/>

Icon Sets

Note: These are default prefixes for the specified icon sets, these can all be configured in the config/blade-fontawesome.php file.

  • Regular (far)
  • Solid (fas)

  • Light (fal)
  • Thin (fat)

  • Sharp Solid (fas:sharp)
  • Sharp Thin (fat:sharp)
  • Sharp Duotone (fad:sharp)
  • Custom Kit Icons (fak)

Raw SVG Icons

If you want to use the raw SVG icons as assets, you can publish them using:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=blade-fontawesome --force

Then use them in your views like:

<img src="{{ asset('vendor/blade-fontawesome/solid/cloud.svg') }}" width="10" height="10"/>

Font Awesome Pro

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 --pro

Blade Font Awesome will then automatically detect and use the pro icons under the resources/icons/blade-fontawesome path.

Font Awesome Kits

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_CODE

Blade Font Awesome will then use the icons from the kit to populate the resources/icons/blade-fontawesome directory.

Caching

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:cache

Blade Icons

Blade Font Awesome uses Blade Icons under the hood. Please refer to the Blade Icons readme for additional functionality.
