Repeat {fontawesome} icons and convert to HTML

Source: R/icon_fun.R
fa_icon_repeat.Rd

The fa_icon_repeat function takes an fontawesome icon and repeats it n times.

Usage

fa_icon_repeat(
  name = "star",
  repeats = 1,
  fill = NULL,
  fill_opacity = NULL,
  stroke = NULL,
  stroke_width = NULL,
  stroke_opacity = NULL,
  height = NULL,
  width = NULL,
  margin_left = NULL,
  margin_right = NULL,
  position = NULL,
  title = NULL,
  a11y = c("deco", "sem", "none")
)

Arguments

name

The name of the Font Awesome icon. This could be as a short name (e.g., "npm", "drum", etc.), or, a full name (e.g., "fab fa-npm", "fas fa-drum", etc.). The names should correspond to current Version 5 Font Awesome names. A list of short and full names can be accessed through the fa_metadata() function with fa_metadata()$icon_names and fa_metadata()$icon_names_full. If supplying a Version 4 icon name, it will be internally translated to the Version 5 icon name and a Version 5 icon will be returned. A data frame containing the short names that changed from version 4 (v4_name) to version 5 (v5_name) can be obtained by using fa_metadata()$v4_v5_name_tbl.

repeats

An integer indicating the number of repeats for that specific icon/row.

fill, fill_opacity

The fill color of the icon can be set with fill. If not provided then the default value of "currentColor" is applied so that the SVG fill matches the color of the parent HTML element's color attribute. The opacity level of the SVG fill can be controlled with a decimal value between 0 and 1.

stroke, stroke_width, stroke_opacity

The stroke options allow for setting the color, width, and opacity of the SVG outline stroke. By default, the stroke width is very small at "1px" so a size adjustment with "stroke_width" can be useful. The "stroke_opacity" value can be any decimal values between 0 and 1 (bounds included).

height, width

The height and width style attributes of the rendered SVG. If nothing is provided for height then a default value of "1em" will be applied. If a width isn't given, then it will be calculated in units of "em" on the basis of the icon's SVG "viewBox" dimensions.

margin_left, margin_right

The length value for the margin that's either left or right of the icon. By default, "auto" is used for both properties. If space is needed on either side then a length of "0.2em" is recommended as a starting point.

position

The value for the position style attribute. By default, "relative" is used here.

title

An option for populating the SVG 'title' attribute, which provides on-hover text for the icon. By default, no title text is given to the icon. If a11y == "semantic" then title text will be automatically given to the rendered icon, however, providing text here will override that.

a11y

Cases that distinguish the role of the icon and inform which accessibility attributes to be used. Icons can either be "deco" (decorative, the default case) or "sem" (semantic). Using "none" will result in no accessibility features for the icon.

Value

A character string of class HTML, representing repeated SVG logos
