Font Awesome Swift

Follow me: @vaberer

I like ★. Do not forget to ★ this super convenient library.

There is also a very popular Google Design Material Icons library which you will love!

Updated to Swift 2 projects in Swift2 branch

Updated to Font Awesome 4.4 - Added 66 new icons!

Font Awesome swift library for iOS. No image icons any more. Using Font Awesome Swift library is very easy to use. Look at the demo app which shows all icons and their names or just visit FontAwesome.

Requirements

• iOS 8.0+
• Xcode 6.3

Installation

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects.

CocoaPods 0.36 adds supports for Swift and embedded frameworks. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

To integrate Font Awesome Swift into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!

pod 'Font-Awesome-Swift', '~> 1.1.0'

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Do not forget to import to your swift files where you want to use this library:

import Font_Awesome_Swift

To use Font Awesome in Swift 2:

pod 'Font-Awesome-Swift', :git => 'https://github.com/Vaberer/Font-Awesome-Swift.git', :branch => 'Swift2'

Manually

1. Copy FAIcon.swift and FontAwesome.ttf files into your project
2. Check to import FontAwesome.ttf in project, "Project" > "Target" > "Copy Bundle Resources"

Cocoa Pods and Master branch will be updated when Swift 2 will not be in beta.

Usage

Super easy way how to add an icon.

UILabel

    labelName.FAIcon = FAType.FAGithub

    //or if you want to set an icon size, use:
    labelName.setFAIcon(FAType.FAGithub, iconSize: 35)

    labelName.textColor = UIColor.redColor()

UIButton

    buttonName.setFAIcon(FAType.FAGithub, forState: .Normal)

    //or if you want to set an icon size, use:
    buttonName.setFAIcon(FAType.FAGithub, iconSize: 35, forState: .Normal)

    buttonName.setTitleColor(UIColor.redColor(), forState: .Normal)

UIBarButtonItem

    //Standard font size
    barName.FAIcon = FAType.FAGithub

    //Custom font size
    barName.setFAIcon(FAType.FAGithub, iconSize: 35)

    barName.tintColor = UIColor.redColor()
