# Introduction

This repository contains a superset of Dave Gandy's FontAwesome icons. It is based on FontAwesome [[VERSION]] and extends
the original [[ORIG-COUNT]] icons to a total amount of ~[[NEW-COUNT]]. See the bottom of this document for a list of all icons.

# Installation

## Static

Just copy the fonts and css folder to your project and use them like the normal Font Awesome.

## With yarn

    yarn add fontawesome-actions

## With npm

    npm install fontawesome-actions --save

## With bower

    bower install fontawesome-actions

## With bundler

Edit your Gemfile:

    # somewhere in your Gemfile
    source 'https://rails-assets.org' do
      gem 'rails-assets-fontawesome-actions'
    end

Then run

    bundle

And include the following in application.css

    *= require fontawesome-actions

# Usage

You can still use Font Awesome as before:

    <i class="fa fa-folder"></i>

With fontawesome-actions you can combine two icons into an action icon. Several icons are precompiled. See the CSS-file for the full list (when this is stable, a list will be released):

    <i class="fa fa-folder-plus fa-2x"></i>

![simple example](https://raw.github.com/nyon/fontawesome-actions/master/demo/simple.png)

But even better, you can also combine two icons in a stack and use color on each seperate part. Just use the alpha and beta suffix:

    <span class="fa-stack">
      <i class="fa fa-folder-plus-alpha fa-2x fa-stack-1x"></i>
      <i class="fa fa-folder-plus-beta fa-2x fa-stack-1x" style="color: #F012BE;"></i>
    </span>

![stacked example](https://raw.github.com/nyon/fontawesome-actions/master/demo/stacked.png)

Another feature is the possibility to slash out icons, similar to the effect shown by the normal fa-bell-slash:

    <i class="fa fa-folder-slash fa-2x"></i>

![slashed example](https://raw.github.com/nyon/fontawesome-actions/master/demo/slashed.png)

As some icons got no outline version, this project tries to implement these automatically. So some of the icons also support the -o suffix:

    <i class="fa fa-comment-o fa-2x"></i>
