Requirements

• SilverStripe 4

Usage

• Import the required classes:

use Jaedb\IconField\Icon;
use Jaedb\IconField\IconField;

• Set your $db field to type Icon (eg 'PageIcon' => Icon::class)
• IconField::create($name, $title, $iconFolder)
• $name is the database field as defined in your class
• $title is the label for this field
• $iconFolder (optional) defines the directory where your icons can be found. Defaults to /site/icons.
• To change your default icon directory, see _config/config.yml.
• Use your icon in templates as you would any other property (eg $PageIcon). If your icon is an SVG, the SVG image data will be injected into the template. To prevent this, you can call $PageIcon.IMG instead to enforce use of <img> tags.
