Formatters by Type

[Weemo]

Hi,

can someone tell me what needs to get done to use Font Awesome on a grid. I saw an example for Simple Tables and all I can see is:

grid.formatters_by_type["boolean" = (lambda value: SPAN(I(_class="fas fa-check-circle")) if value else "" )

When I use this on my code, I dont get the font awesome displayed. I still get True or False

thanks

The fontawesome CDN url should be in layout.html if you created your app from _scaffold.

That is all you should need.

If it isn't there, here is the CDN link for the latest version of fontawesome

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/6.1.1/css/all.min.css" integrity="sha512-KfkfwYDsLkIlwQp6LFnl8zNdLGxu9YAA1QvwINks4PhcElQSvqcyVLLD9aMhXd13uQjoXtEKNosOWaZqXgel0g==" crossorigin="anonymous" referrerpolicy="no-referrer" />

It is there. Hmm I am using your two examples. The simple database and the htmx. Its almost as if the htmx one changes each class while the simple database keeps its class as it is. Thats as far as I have been able to dig into this.

Thanks

Using Firefox, press F12 after your page loads and click on the Style Editor tab.  Do you see all.min.css in the list on the left?

Thanks Jim,

it is indeed there. Hmmm

[Jim Steil]

Do you have any code you can share?

Got it Jim. Just got it early today after spending so much time on it. It was an error on my column code

[Weemo]

I was using:

lambda row: XML(f"{row.package_det.ready}"),

required-fields=[db.package_det.ready]

Left it with just 

db.package_det.ready

and it worked.

thanks

Right - using the Column() converted it to a string.
