A web tool that generates a C# class with constant fields for the Unicode values of glyph icons in font files.
IconFont2Code is a web tool that generates a C# class with constant fields representing the Unicode values of glyph icons from font files. It solves the problem of manually looking up and hardcoding icon values in .NET applications, streamlining the integration of icon fonts like Font Awesome.
.NET developers building WPF, UWP, Xamarin, or Xamarin.Forms applications that utilize icon fonts for UI icons.
It saves significant development time by automating code generation, reduces errors from manual entry, and improves maintainability with clean, constant-based icon references.
Generate C# class with constant fields for the icons in your font
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Handles .ttf, .otf, .woff, and .woff2 files, making it versatile for various icon font sources as stated in the font file support feature.
Generates a ready-to-use C# class with constant fields, eliminating manual Unicode lookups and reducing errors, which saves time for .NET developers.
Uses provided CSS files to create human-readable field names, improving code readability over generic glyph names, especially for fonts like Foundation icons.
Includes a one-click copy button to easily transfer the generated code, speeding up integration into projects without manual copying.
The tool exclusively generates C# code, making it useless for projects in other programming languages, limiting its broader applicability.
For optimal naming, it requires a separate CSS file, which may not be available for all fonts, leading to less readable code without manual intervention.
As a web tool hosted on GitHub Pages, it requires internet access and lacks an offline version or API, which could be a hurdle in restricted environments.
