This tool is a custom field type for the CMB2 metabox library, designed for developers building custom admin interfaces. It provides a visual selector for Font Awesome icons, allowing site editors to choose icons from a dropdown menu within a metabox field.

Icon Selection Field: Adds a new faiconselect field type to CMB2. When used, it renders a searchable dropdown populated with specified Font Awesome icons in the WordPress admin. Font Awesome Version Support: Works with both Font Awesome 4.7.0 and Font Awesome 5.7.2 (supporting Solid and Brands icon styles). You control the version via a field attribute. Predefined Icon Lists: Includes helper functions like returnRayFaPre and returnRayFapsa that automatically generate option arrays for all available icons, saving development time. Flexible Implementation: Can be installed as a standalone plugin, via Composer, or integrated directly into a theme folder with a path adjustment function. Template Integration: Provides clear instructions for including the field type within a theme, including a filter to correct asset paths for CSS and JavaScript files.
