Font Awesome Icon Picker Extension

Font Awesome Icon Picker is a fully customizable plugin for Twitter Bootstrap, with a powerful base API,
based on Bootstrap Popover Picker.

This extension allows to find and copy Font Awesome icons easily in your day-to-day.

You can even copy the sample HTML and also the icon Unicode character for using it in Word, Photoshop, etc (it requires the Font Awesome font installed in your computer).

CHANGELOG:

v2.0.2
- Fixes issues of the extension not loading
- Use rawgit CDN to deliver the extension js and css files at a locked project version (3.0.0) so breaking changes on master won't affect the plugin anymore.
- Adds donate button.

v2.0.0
- NEW: Font Awesome 5.0 support
- refactor: Cache parsed icon class list for better performance (requires local storage)
- new: added a footer with a link to the repository and the original author

v1.2.3
- Fix: The plugin stopped working because the project changed the repository name. Now it is fixed.

v1.2.2
- The plugin will be using always the latest fontawesome-picker relase, as it is using now the external css and js files from the docs pages.
- Example html markup has been added
- Width has been fixed
- Improved extension icon
