Simplest packaging as a gem as possible |
note on version 0.2.0: FontAwesome now includes scss and sass files, but when I used them instead of the plain ol css file included in the project, it wanted some compass libraries. I'm a fan of compass, but including an entire tool like that in order to generate a @font_face tag seems a little much... I don't want this gem to require compass for such a trivial thing, so we are staying on the vanilla css file for now.
Running on Rails 3.1? Make sure to use version 3.1.1.0 or earlier.
Upgrading from 3.*? FontAwesome now requires the use of the fa class
with every icon. Prepend the fa class to existing icons:
/* FontAwesome 3 Syntax */
<i class="icon-github"></i>
/* FontAwesome 4 Syntax */
<i class="fa fa-github"></i>
