## Usage

Download this repo and put files into `wp-content/plugins/` directory. When you enable plugin, you can use field type in CMB2.

Alternatively you can search `CMB2 Field Type: Font Awesome` on WordPress plugin directory.

Use `faiconselect` for type. For Example;

```php
$cmb->add_field( array(
'name' => __( 'Select Font Awesome Icon', 'cmb' ),
'id' => $prefix . 'iconselect',
'desc' => 'Select Font Awesome icon',
'type' => 'faiconselect',
'options' => array(
'fa fa-facebook' => 'fa fa-facebook',
'fa fa-500px' => 'fa fa-500px',
'fa fa-twitter' => 'fa fa-twitter'
)
) );
```
After that jQuery Font Picker plugin handle the select.

Aslo you can use predefined array for Font Awesome. I created a function with this addon to use in `options_cb`. Function called as `returnRayFaPre`.

```php
$cmb->add_field( array(
'name' => __( 'Select Font Awesome Icon', 'cmb' ),
'id' => $prefix . 'iconselect',
'desc' => 'Select Font Awesome icon',
'type' => 'faiconselect',
'options_cb' => 'returnRayFaPre'
) );
```

## Usage From Template Folder

Download and place folder into your theme folder. You need to create a function for fixing asset path issue. Fore example;

```php
// Fix for $asset_path issue
function asset_path_faiconselect() {
return get_template_directory_uri() . '/path/to/folder'; //Change to correct path.
}

add_filter( 'sa_cmb2_field_faiconselect_asset_path', 'asset_path_faiconselect' );

//Now call faiconselect
require get_template_directory() . '/path/to/folder/iconselect.php'; //Again Change to correct path.
```

This function solve assetpath issue for including javascript and css files.

## Usage With Font Awesome 5

You need two different options for activate Font Awesome 5. You will need to add an attribute. Also there is a function for predefined list of font-awesome :smile:

#### Standart Way

```php
$cmb->add_field( array(
'name' => __( 'Select Font Awesome Icon', 'cmb' ),
'id' => $prefix . 'iconselect',
'desc' => 'Select Font Awesome icon',
'type' => 'faiconselect',
'options' => array(
'fab fa-facebook' => 'fa fa-facebook',
'fab fa-500px' => 'fa fa-500px',
'fab fa-twitter' => 'fa fa-twitter',
'fas fa-address-book' => 'fas fa-address-book'
),
'attributes' => array(
'faver' => 5
)
) );
```

This attribute needed for selecting right style files. If you don't add these attribute, you can not see icons.

#### Predefined Way

```php
$cmb->add_field( array(
'name' => __( 'Select Font Awesome Icon', 'cmb' ),
'id' => $prefix . 'iconselect',
'desc' => 'Select Font Awesome icon',
'type' => 'faiconselect',
'options_cb' => 'returnRayFapsa',
'attributes' => array(
'faver' => 5
)
) );
```

As you can see we define an `options_cb` function named `returnRayFapsa`. This function create an array for options with `solid` and `brands` icons. Also you need `faver` attribute for Font Awesome 5.

That's All for now :smile: Contributions are welcome
