Font Awesome file icons

Sometimes you need to output filename with an icon from font-awesome. And you need to take an extension of file and use some mapping.

This gem is doing this for you, so you can focus on more important things.

Gem is adding method-wrapper fa_file_icon which behaves very similar to fa_icon and can receive same arguments as fa_icon.

<p><%= fa_file_icon 'file.pdf', text: 'download' %></p>
<p><%= fa_file_icon 'movie.avi' %></p>
<p><%= fa_file_icon 'attachment.zip' %></p>
<p><%= fa_file_icon user.avatar.file.filename, text: user.avatar.file.filename %></p>

<p><%= fa_file_stacked_icon 'index.mov', text: 'mov' %></p>
<p><%= fa_file_stacked_icon 'index.jpg', text: 'jpg' %></p>
<p><%= fa_file_stacked_icon 'index.bmp', text: 'bmp', class: "fa-5x" %></p>

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'font_awesome_file_icons'

And then execute:

$ bundle
