Font Awesome Filetypes

Helper to retrieve the Font Awesome 5 icon for a specific file extension.

Installation

npm install font-awesome-filetypes

For Font Awesome 4, install v1 of this package

Usage

Basic Examples

By default, the module exports the function to retrieve an icon's class name:

import getClassNameForExtension from 'font-awesome-filetypes'
 
const filename = 'foobar.jpg'
const extension = filename.split('.').pop()
 
const className = getClassNameForExtension(extension)
 
// className = 'fa-file-image-o'

You could also explicitely import the function:

import { getClassNameForExtension } from 'font-awesome-filetypes'

Ths module also exposes a function to retrieve an html string of the icon (as per the Font Awesome docs):

import { getIconForExtension } from 'font-awesome-filetypes'
 
const filename = 'foobar.jpg'
const extension = filename.split('.').pop()
 
const icon = getIconForExtension(extension)
 
// icon = '<i class="fa fa-file-image-o"></i>'

Other Exposed Objects

Retrieve the object containing all icon classnames:

import icons from 'font-awesome-filetypes/lib/icons'
 
// icons = { image: 'fa-file-image-o', pdf: 'fa-file-pdf-o', ... }

Retrieve the object containing all supported extensions:

import extensions from 'font-awesome-filetypes/lib/extensions'
 
// extensions = { gif: 'fa-file-image-o', jpeg: 'fa-file-image-o', ... }
