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:FAIconGithub];

or you can reference them by using the class identifiers listed here http://fortawesome.github.com/Font-Awesome/#all-icons

label.text = [NSString fontAwesomeIconStringForIconIdentifier:@"icon-github"];

That's it! For further information have a look to the small demo project!

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:@"icon-github"];
