SMK Font Awesome PHP, JSON

This repository contains the necessary data to work with Font Awesome in PHP or JSON.

Requirements:

• Font Awesome 4.4

License

• MIT - Details

##How to use:

You have multiple options:

• use static data from files that start with font-awesome-data... php or json. Recomended if you just need the class names and nothing more. It's suitable for everyone.
• use the PHP class to dynamically generate the array. - font-awesome.class.php. Recomended only if you cache the result and save it in a static file or Database. Advanced users.

Note: Replace PATH with a real constant or variable defined in your application. For example: dirname(__FILE__)

##Basic: Static data.

Default data:

require( PATH . '/font-awesome-data.php' );
$icons = smk_font_awesome();//The array

Readable class names

require( PATH . '/font-awesome-data-readable.php' );
$icons = smk_font_awesome();//The array

Serialized data may not be useful, but in some cases, for example if you want to import data in a database it may be the only file that you'll need.

$icons = file_get_contents(PATH . '/font-awesome-data-serialized.php');
$icons = unserialize($icons);//The array

##Advanced: The PHP class.

//Require class
require( PATH . '/font-awesome.class.php' );

//Init font awesome class
$fa = new Smk_FontAwesome;

//Get array
$icons = $fa->getArray(PATH . '/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css');

$icons variable now contains all FA class names in an array.

$icons output:

array(
//...
'fa-calendar' => '\f073',
//...
)

Manipulate the $icons:

$fa->sortByName($icons);   //Sort by key name. Alphabetically sort: from a to z
$fa->onlyClass($icons);    //Only HTML class, no unicode. 'fa-calendar' => 'fa-calendar',
$fa->onlyUnicode($icons);  //Only unicode, no HTML class. '\f073' => '\f073',
$fa->readableName($icons); //Only HTML class, readable. 'fa-video-camera' => 'Video Camera',

##JSON Example with jQuery. See dev/test.html for examples.

$.getJSON( "../font-awesome-data.json", function( data ) {
	var items = [];
	$.each( data, function( key, val ) {
		items.push( "<i class='fa " + key + "'></i> " );
	});

	$( "<div/>", {
	"class": "icons",
	html: items.join( "" )
	}).appendTo( "body" );

});
