Checkboxes with Font Awesome 5 icons

问题:

Did anyone already designed checkboxes with font awesome 5 icons inside?

I've already googled it and found only examples for FA-4 like http://flatlogic.github.io/awesome-bootstrap-checkbox/demo/

I updated to FA5 and got other things with CSS pseudo elements to run, but inside a checkbox it's not running. I'm open to other solutions without pseudo elements.

Thanks in advance!

回答1:

Use Font Awesome 5 icons as Checkbox

Just change the font-weight.

input[type='checkbox'] {display:none;}
input[type='checkbox'] + label:before {
  font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Free';
  display: inline-block;
}
/* unchecked */
input[type='checkbox'] + label:before { 
  content: "\f00c";
  font-weight:100;
}
/* checked */
input[type='checkbox']:checked + label:before {font-weight:900;}

回答2:

The above did not work for me. I'm using Bootstrap 3.3.7 (tested also with bootstrap 3.4.0) and font awesome 5.5.0 free. What did work for me is adding this to my custom css file:

/* To get rid of the original and the benefit of not having the blue outline on focus */
input[type='checkbox'], input[type='radio'] {
    display:none;
}
.checkbox input[type='checkbox'] + label:before {
    font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Free';
    content: "\f00c";
    color: #fff;
}
/* font weight is the only important one. The size and padding makes it look nicer */
.checkbox input[type='checkbox']:checked + label:before {
    font-weight:900;
    font-size: 10px;
    padding-left: 3px;
    padding-top: 0px;
}
.checkbox input[type="checkbox"]:checked + label::after,
.checkbox input[type="radio"]:checked + label::after {
    content: "";
}

EDIT: It seems that when putting this kind of checkbox in a .input-group-addon the margin around the checkbox and the padding inside the checkbox::before is a little off. So I use this:

.input-group-addon .checkbox, .input-group-addon .radio {
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
}
.input-group-addon .checkbox input[type='checkbox']:checked + label:before {
    font-weight:900;
    font-size: 10px;
    padding-left: 2px;
    padding-top: 2px;
}
