Add Font Awesome Icons to our Buttons
- Font Awesome is a convenient library of icons. These icons can be webfonts or vector graphics. They're treated just like fonts.
- We can include it in any of our apps by adding the following code to the top of our HTML:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.8.1/css/all.css" integrity="sha384-50oBUHEmvpQ+1lW4y57PTFmhCaXp0ML5d60M1M7uH2+nqUivzIebhndOJK28anvf" crossorigin="anonymous">
- We can also add the Front Awesome classes to the
i
element to turn it into an icon, for example:
<i class="fas fa-thumbs-up"></i>
Add Font Awesome Icons to all of our Buttons
Let's Use Font Awesome to add an
info-circle
icon to our info button and atrash
icons to your delete button.Code
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-4">
<button class="btn btn-block btn-primary"><i class="fas fa-thumbs-up"></i>Like</button>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<button class="btn btn-block btn-info">Info</button>
</div>

</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<button class="btn btn-block btn-danger"><i class="fas fa-trash"></i>Delete</button>
</div>
</div>
Responsively Style Radio Buttons
We can use Bootstrap's `col-xs- classes on
form` elements, too! This way, our radio buttons will be evenly spread out across the page.
Let's nest both of our radio buttons within a
<div class="row">
element. Then nest each of them within a<div class="col-xs-6">
element.Code:
<label><input type="radio" name="indoor-outdoor"> Indoor</label>
<label><input type="radio" name="indoor-outdoor"> Outdoor</label>
- Answer:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6">
<label><input type="radio" name="indoor-outdoor"> Indoor</label>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">
<label><input type="radio" name="indoor-outdoor"> Outdoor</label>
</div>
</div>
Responsively Style Checkboxes
- Bootstrap's
col-xs-*
classes are fitting to allform
elements, you can use them on your checkboxes too! - Let's nest all three of our checkboxes in a
<div class="row">
element. Then nest each of them in a<div class="col-xs-4">
element.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-4">
<label><input type="checkbox" name="personality"> Loving</label>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<label><input type="checkbox" name="personality"> Lazy</label>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-4">
<label><input type="checkbox" name="personality"> Crazy</label>
</div>
</div>
Style Text Inputs as Form Controls
- We can add the
fa-paper-plane
Font Awesome icon by adding<i class="fa fa-paper-plane"></i>
within our submitbutton
element. Here FreeCodeCamp wants us to give our form's text input field a class of
form-control
. Also to give our submit button the classesbtn btn-primary
. Finally to give this button the Font Awesome icon offa-paper-plane
Answer:
<input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="cat photo URL" required>
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="submit"><i class="fa fa-paper-plane"></i>Submit</button>
Line up Form Elements Responsively with Bootstrap
- Here they just want us to align the form
input
and submissionbutton
on the same line. Just like we've previosuly had with the radiobuttons
and checkboxbuttons
. Nest the form's text
input
within a div with the class ofcol-xs-7
. Nest your form's submit button in a div with the classcol-xs-5
.Answer:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-7">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="cat photo URL" required>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-5">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary"><i class="fa fa-paper-plane"></i> Submit</button>
</div>
</div>
