Jekyll::Fontawesome::Svg

Use all of FontAwesome Icons without the need to import the full css / svg.

This Jekyll plugin will look for the icon you include in your page and only include the icons you used.

Usage

• When you want to include an icon, you can use the same name as you will do to with FontAwesome

  {% fa_svg fab.fa-twitter %}

  or

  {% fa_svg 'fab.fa-twitter' %}

  Use the fa_svg liquid tag, with the type of the icon you want to use (fab, fas or far), a dot (important) and the icon name.

  Each icon get the icon class, which you can use in your CSS to customize the appearance of your icon.

• You will need to have in one part of your project (at the end of your layout for example) liquid tag to generate the SVG definition.

  The syntax is this one {% fa_svg_generate %}

Examples
