Font Awesome icons not rendering in Quarto or R Markdown with `gt_fa_column()` #118

Closed wjakethompson closed 6 months ago

wjakethompson commented 6 months ago

Description

Originally described in this thread from the Posit community, Font Awesome icons are not rendering in gt tables with gt_fa_column().

Reproducible example

In Quarto

---
title: test
format: html
---

```{r}
library(gt)
library(gtExtras)
fa_cars <- mtcars %>%
  head() %>%
  dplyr::select(cyl, mpg, am, gear) %>%
  dplyr::mutate(man = ifelse(am == 1, "gear", "gears")) %>%
  gt() %>%
  gt_fa_column(man)
fa_cars

### In R Markdown

title: "Test" date: "r Sys.Date()" output: html_document

library(gt)
library(gtExtras)
fa_cars <- mtcars %>%
  head() %>%
  dplyr::select(cyl, mpg, am, gear) %>%
  dplyr::mutate(man = ifelse(am == 1, "gear", "gears")) %>%
  gt() %>%
  gt_fa_column(man)
fa_cars
<img width="814" alt="Screenshot 2024-03-15 at 7 54 54 AM" src="https://github.com/jthomasmock/gtExtras/assets/6980750/fd2ac525-aa98-4fff-a1d6-a5603e5b7336">

## Expected result

I can get close to the same functionality with `gt::fmt_icon()`. The only problem with this approach is that I often use the `palette` argument from `gt_fa_column()` to specify different colors for each icon. This is not currently possible with

title: test format: html

library(gt)
library(gtExtras)
fa_cars <- mtcars %>%
  head() %>%
  dplyr::select(cyl, mpg, am, gear) %>%
  dplyr::mutate(man = ifelse(am == 1, "gear", "gears")) %>%
  gt() %>%
  fmt_icon(man)
fa_cars
<img width="821" alt="Screenshot 2024-03-15 at 7 59 50 AM" src="https://github.com/jthomasmock/gtExtras/assets/6980750/5b507e55-9936-4bd4-bed5-80069a418ec2">

The only problem with this approach is that I often use the `palette` argument from `gt_fa_column()` to specify different colors for each icon. This is not currently possible with `gt::fmt_icon()`, so I end up with suboptimal code like:

title: test format: html

library(gt)
library(gtExtras)
fa_cars <- mtcars %>%
  head() %>%
  dplyr::select(cyl, mpg, am, gear) %>%
  dplyr::mutate(man = ifelse(am == 1, "gear", "gears")) %>%
  gt() %>%
  fmt_icon(man, rows = which(.data$man == "gear"),
           fill_color = "orange") |> 
  fmt_icon(man, rows = which(.data$man == "gears"),
           fill_color = "blue")
fa_cars

Never mind, this appears to be a duplicate of #114 😄
