Using other icon libraries

Multiple input and Tabular input widgets now support FontAwesome and indeed any other icon library you chose to integrate to your project.

To take advantage of this, please proceed as follows:

1. Include the preferred icon library into your project. If you wish to use fontAwesome, you can use the included FontAwesomeAsset which will integrate the free fa from their CDN;
2. Add a mapping for your preferred icon library if its not in the iconMap array of the widget, like the following;

public $iconMap = [
    'glyphicons' => [
        'drag-handle' => 'glyphicon glyphicon-menu-hamburger',
        'remove' => 'glyphicon glyphicon-remove',
        'add' => 'glyphicon glyphicon-plus',
        'clone' => 'glyphicon glyphicon-duplicate',
    ],
    'fa' => [
        'drag-handle' => 'fa fa-bars',
        'remove' => 'fa fa-times',
        'add' => 'fa fa-plus',
        'clone' => 'fa fa-files-o',
    ],
    'my-amazing-icons' => [
        'drag-handle' => 'my my-bars',
        'remove' => 'my my-times',
        'add' => 'my my-plus',
        'clone' => 'my my-files',
    ]
];

3. Set the preffered icon source

    public $iconSource = 'my-amazing-icons';

If you do none of the above, the default behavior which assumes you are using glyphicons is retained.
