# entypo-rails

An asset pipeline plugin for Rails to easily add the [Entypo](http://www.entypo.com/)
icon font faces and an initial set of icon classes.

## Entypo

The [Entypo](http://www.entypo.com/) pictograms by Daniel Bruce http://www.entypo.com/
are provided in `vendor`. These pictograms are licensed under
[CC BY 3.0](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/) and the font unter
[SIL Open Font License](http://scripts.sil.org/OFL).

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

    gem 'entypo-rails'

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Then start your server and open

    http://localhost:3000/entypo/charmap

## Usage

Either use the provided mappings, based on `icons-...` and the `:before`:

```scss
// application.css
//= require entypo
@charset "UTF-8";
```

```html
<!-- some_template.html... -->
This is cool <i class="icon-thumbs-up"></i>.
Fork it on <i class="icon-social-github"></i>.
```

or just include the entypo font face and do the mappings yourself, go to
http://localhost:3000/entypo/charmap in your browser for a list of all
unicode codepoints and CSS classes. This is only available in development
mode. Alternatively check out [entypo.scss](https://github.com/lwe/entypo-rails/blob/master/app/assets/stylesheets/entypo.scss),
the social font is prefixed with `.icon-social-`.

```scss
// application.css
//= require entypo-fonts
@charset "UTF-8";

// icons.scss (or wherever)
i.cool { font-family: 'entypo' }
i.cool:before { content: "\1F44D"; }
```

```html
<!-- some_template.html... -->
This is cool <i class="cool"></i>.
```

## Options

#### Change the `icon` prefix

Simply add an initializer like e.g. `config/initializers/entypo.rb` and add:

```ruby
Entypo.css_prefix = "my-icon"
```

After setting a new prefix restart your server and ensure to clear the Rails
asset caches in `tmp/cache/asset`, otherwise the new prefix might not be
picked up correctly.

**Note**: that the value is not checked, thus ensure to use onlu valid CSS
class names.

#### Enable the `/entypo/charmap` in a non-development environment

By default entypo-rails only enables the `/entypo/charmap` route in the
development environment. To enable it in another environment open the
environment specific configuration file from `config/environments/<env>.rb`
and append:

```ruby
# at the end of the file...
Entypo.charmap = true
```

#### Customize the charmap path (or add authorization etc.)

To use a custom URL for to display the charmap, first disable the automatic
route generation by adding an initializer e.g. `config/initializers/entypo.rb`
with:

```ruby
Entypo.charmap = false
```

Then add a new route to your application's `config/routes.rb` file:

```ruby
Your::Application.routes.draw do
  # other routes...
  get '/custom/path/to/charmap', to: 'entypo/charmap#index'
end
```

## Troubleshooting

**The prefix `icon` clashes with the prefix defined by
[bootstrap](http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/base-css.html#icons) and thus I'm
not able to use entypo icons.**

The prefix can be changed by setting `Entypo.css_prefix = "e-icon"` in an
initializer. Ensure that after changing the prefix the caches in
`tmp/cache/assets` should be cleared, otherwise it can happen that the prefix
is not picked up during development.

**In production, the fonts are digested to entypo-
4a74efb3ed26fe0c57556bcc0b7e871f... Meanhwile it's just entypo.eot in the CSS
file, without the digest. Therefore the font cannot be loaded!**

When compiling assets ensure to set the correct `RAILS_ENV`, otherwise assets
or not digested in the CSS files. See
[this discussion](https://github.com/lwe/entypo-rails/pull/6) for more, or
simply ensure to run:

```bash
RAILS_ENV=production rake assets:precompile
```
