# Prawn::Icon
[](http://badge.fury.io/rb/prawn-icon)
Prawn::Icon provides a simple mechanism for rendering icons and icon fonts from within [Prawn](https://github.com/prawnpdf/prawn).
The following icon fonts ship with Prawn::Icon:
* FontAwesome (http://fontawesome.io/icons/)
* Material Design Icons (https://materialdesignicons.com/)
* Foundation Icons (http://zurb.com/playground/foundation-icon-fonts-3)
* PaymentFont (https://paymentfont.com)
Prawn::Icon was originally written by Jesse Doyle.
## Installation
Prawn::Icon is distributed via RubyGems. You can install it with the following command:
```bash
gem install prawn-icon
```
## Usage
Prawn::Icon was designed to have an API familiar to Prawn. A single icon may be rendered as such:
```ruby
require 'prawn/icon'
Prawn::Document.generate('icons.pdf') do |pdf|
pdf.icon 'fas-beer', size: 60
end
```
produces:
## Inline Icons
You can also provide the `inline_format: true` option to Prawn::Icon:
```ruby
require 'prawn/icon'
Prawn::Document.generate('inline_icons.pdf') do |pdf|
pdf.icon 'Enjoy: fas-beer', inline_format: true
end
```
produces:
When using `inline_format: true`, you may supply `` tags with `color` and `size` attributes.
## Use with [Prawn::Table](https://github.com/prawnpdf/prawn-table)
A `table_icon` method may be called when creating a table's data array to render icons within a table cell:
```ruby
require 'prawn/icon'
require 'prawn/table'
Prawn::Document.generate('table_icons.pdf') do |pdf|
data = [
# Explicit brackets must be used here
[pdf.table_icon('fas-birthday-cake'), 'Cake'],
['is', 'Great!']
]
pdf.table(data) # => (2 x 2 table)
end
```
Note that the `table_icon` method supports the `inline_format: true` option to create multiple icons within a cell.
## Specifying Icon Families
Prawn::Icon uses the prefix of an icon key to determine which font family is used to render a particular icon.
Currently supported prefixes include:
* `fab` - [FontAwesome Brands](https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&s=brands&m=free) (eg. `fab-amazon`).
* `far` - [FontAwesome Regular](https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&s=regular&m=free) (eg. `far-address-book`).
* `fas` - [FontAwesome Solid](https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&s=solid&m=free) (eg. `fas-location-arrow`).
* `mdi` - [Material Design Icons](https://materialdesignicons.com/) (eg. `mdi-beer`),
* `fi` - [Foundation Icons](https://zurb.com/playground/foundation-icon-fonts-3) (eg. `fi-compass`).
* `pf` - [PaymentFont](https://paymentfont.com/#icons) (eg. `pf-cash`).
## How It Works
Prawn::Icon uses a "legend" to map icon keys to unicode characters that respresent a particular icon within the font file.
This legend is a standard `.yml` file located within the font's directory.
If you wish to fork this repository and add a new font, you'll likely need to supply a corresponding legend file. Please see the current legend files within the `data/fonts` directory for examples.
## Examples
A Rake task is included to generate documents that display each icon and its corresponding icon key.
The command:
```bash
rake legend
```
should generate these files when run from Prawn::Icon's gem directory.
## Configuration
You can optionally configure Prawn::Icon to use an alternate data directory for font files.
```ruby
Prawn::Icon.configure do |config|
config.font_directory = '/path/to/my/fonts'
end
```
## Icon Size Mode
Some font families (in particular those of FontAwesome 6) define metrics that may render an icon at a size larger than requested (as described [here](https://github.com/jessedoyle/prawn-icon/pull/62#issuecomment-2501622305)).
Prawn::Icon provides a `size_mode` parameter that can be utilized to control this behaviour:
* `size_mode: :font_size` (**default**) - Renders the icon at a size calculated via font metrics. This may result in an icon that renders larger than requested due to ascender/descender metrics.
* `size_mode: :icon_height` - Renders the icon at a size scaled down to the requested size.
You can specify the size mode as follows:
```ruby
Prawn::Document.generate('size_mode.pdf') do |pdf|
pdf.icon 'far-circle', size: 100, size_mode: :icon_height
end
```
## Contributing
I'll gladly accept pull requests that are well tested for any bug found in Prawn::Icon.
If there is enough demand for including a particular icon font, I will also accept a pull request to include it in Prawn::Icon.
