Display Font Awesome Icon in DMX-text or DMX-HTML

Wappler General Need Help
1

I would like to have an icon in the dmx-text text, now I am assuming that possibly I would need to use dmx-html but trying it I just come up with it not showing

Ultimately I would like to achieve on value x=0 to show a cross and x=1 show a tick.

so it would be X {{name}}

Could someone give me the best way to do this please.

You could store

<i class="fa fa-lightbulb-o fa-2x"></i>

In your database, in a table called something like sysIcons (or whatever fits in with your policy with regards to table naming), and assign each icon a unique id, then use the DMX-HTML binding to display it and filter by its unique id. Should give you the result you want…

Not teaching you to suck eggs but be gentle here as using text as the filter variable can really slow down your db.. Best to use a numeric value like 01, 02, etc... Apologies if you already consider this! :wink:
