## Usage
A basic working example, and the following to any class you want the field on; 

```php
    private static $db = array(
        'Icon' => 'Varchar(255)',
    );

    public function getCMSFields()
    {
        $fields = parent::getCMSFields();

        $fields->addFieldsToTab('Root.Main', array(
           FontAwesomeField::create("Icon", "Font Awesome icon")
        ));

        return $fields;
    }
```

Then simple include in the template where you want the icon placed
```html
    <i class="fa $Icon"></i>  
```

The controller extension should make sure you've got access to the icons so you don't need to double up the CSS file.
