## Usage
A basic working example, and the following to any class you want the field on;
```php
use SilverStripe\FontAwesome\FontAwesomeField;
class Blabla extends ... {
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 $fields;
}
}
```
Then simple include in the template where you want the icon placed
```html
<i class="$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.
