This is a custom element for Kentico Kontent that allows you to pick Font Awesome Icon.

The custom element is storing the code of the picked icon. Internally it is a wrapper over the fontawesome-iconpicker selector.

💡 If you want to take a look to another approach that stores icon SVG, take a look to the sibling repository kontent-custom-element-font-awesome-selector-svg.
