SAMPLE APP: Font Awesome Icon Library

[GreenFlux (GreenFluxLLC)]

AppSheet uses icons from Font Awesome for format rules, actions, views, etc.

But these images aren’t available to choose from when an image column is added to a table. Users can upload new images, but they can’t select from this set of icons- unless they had downloaded them ahead of time.

@ipannolinidiAurora asked about using these icons in a table’s image column this morning and it inspired me to build a new sample app.

I found a set of Font Awesome SVGs on GitHub and copied all the names into a new, public GSheet for others to use.

Then, I built a sample app using only the text-name, and a virtual column to retrieve the image:

To add these icons to your app, you can either copy the sample app and build on top of it, or add the public sheet to your app and add a new virtual column:

"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/master/svgs/solid/"&[Name]&".svg"

Duuuude!!! Thanks so much @GreenFlux this is amazing!

You don’t know how many times I’ve wanted a way to give my clients the ability to select their own map icons and things - but there was never a good way to get the icons to them.

You da man!

Awesome Sample App… thank you for sharing!

The search works great & I also love the familiarity with the icons.

Thank you for sharing and spending bunch of time and works to prepare sample app.
This is super useful.

On the other day, I posted a ONE PAGER image for the list of icons. I took another clean screenshot.
If you are fine, add this file to your sample app as additional resources. Thanks again.
