slate-font-awesome

Wrapping of Font Awesome 5 as Polymer web component to be used as shared style in full ShadowDOM mode (i.e. inside <dom-module> tags).

Using slate-font-awesome modules

Using polymer shared styles modules is a two-step process:

1. you need to use a <link> tag to import the module,
2. add a <style> tag to include the styles in the correct place.

Installation

Add the dependency to the bower.json of your application:

   "dependencies": {
     [...]
     "slate-font-awesome": "slate-font-awesome#5.14.0"
   }

And then recover them via bower install.

Usage

Usually you will simply want to import slate-fa5-all.html (wrap around Font Awesome's all.css) or slate-fa5-all-min.html (wrap around Font Awesome's all.min.css).

Supposing you're using bower to manage your components:

<link rel="import" href="../../bower_components/slate-font-awesome/slate-fa5-all.html">

In your element's template you add the include for the slate-fa5-all module:

<style include="slate-fa5-all"></style>

For Chrome only (at least up to 59), if you want to use slate-font-awesome in sub-component, you may need to add also the slate-font-awesome module in your index.html <custom-style> tag:

    <custom-style>
        <style include="slate-fa5-all">
            ...
        </style>
  </custom-style>

If you build you application with Polymer-cli build task you may also need to edit the polymer.json and add the following extra-dependencies:

    "bower_components/slate-font-awesome/fonts/*.*"

Font Awesome 5 modules

• slate-fa5-brands
• slate-fa5-fontawesome
• slate-fa5-regular
• slate-fa5-solid
• slate-fa5-all

add -min for the minified version.

<link rel="import" href="../../bower_components/slate-font-awesome/slate-fa5-all.html">

<dom-module id="slate-font-awesome-example">
    <template>
        <style include="slate-fa5-all"></style>
		
        <i class="fa fa-camera-retro lg"></i> fa-lg <br>
        <i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-2x"></i> fa-2x <br>
        <i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-3x"></i> fa-3x <br>
        <i class="fa fa-fighter-jet fa-spin fa-3x fa-fw"></i> Top Gun Style :) <br>
        <span class="fa-stack fa-lg">
         <i class="fa fa-camera fa-stack-1x"></i>
         <i class="fa fa-ban fa-stack-2x" style="color: red;"></i>
        </span> fa-ban on fa-camera
    </template>

    <script>
        class SlateFontAwesomeExample extends Polymer.Element {
            static get is() { return 'slate-font-awesome-example'; }
        }
        window.customElements.define(SlateFontAwesomeExample.is, SlateFontAwesomeExample);
    </script>
</dom-module>

Generating the elements

Using NodeJS and the slate-font-awesome-generator.js to transform Font Awesome CSS files into polymer elements.

You need to do a npm install to recover the rependencies and then node tools/slate-font-awesome-generator.js to execute the script.

$ node tools/slate-font-awesome-generator.js

After executing it, a series of HTML files is generated in the folder, each one corresponding to a Font Awesome CSS file:
slate-font-awesome.html, slate-font-awesome-min.html
