.icon-pending::before { font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Pro'; font-size: 22px !important; color: $color-orange-saffron; content: '\f017'; }
The CSS snippet you provided is used to style an element with the class .icon-pending
by adding a pseudo-element ::before
to it. Here's a breakdown of what each part does:
.icon-pending::before
: This targets the ::before
pseudo-element of any element with the class icon-pending
.
font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Pro';
: This sets the font family of the pseudo-element to 'Font Awesome 5 Pro', which is a popular icon font library.
font-size: 22px !important;
: This sets the font size of the pseudo-element to 22 pixels. The !important
flag ensures that this style takes precedence over any other conflicting font-size styles.
color: $color-orange-saffron;
: This sets the color of the pseudo-element. The $color-orange-saffron
suggests that a CSS preprocessor like Sass is being used, where $color-orange-saffron
is a variable that holds a specific color value.
content: '\f017';
: This sets the content of the ::before
pseudo-element to the Unicode character \f017
, which corresponds to a specific icon in the Font Awesome 5 Pro library. In this case, \f017
is the Unicode for the "clock" icon.
Here's how you might use this CSS class in an HTML document:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Icon Pending Example</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/font-awesome/css/all.min.css">
<style>
.icon-pending::before {
font-family: 'Font Awesome 5 Pro';
font-size: 22px !important;
color: #FFA500; /* Example color if $color-orange-saffron is #FFA500 */
content: '\f017';
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="icon-pending"></div>
</body>
</html>
#FFA500
with the actual value of $color-orange-saffron
if you are not using a preprocessor like Sass.::before
pseudo-element will insert the icon before the content of the .icon-pending
element. If the element has no content, it will just display the icon.
