Description

The gt_fa_column function takes an existing gt_tbl object and adds specific fontawesome icons based on what the names in the column are. The icons are colored according to a palette that the user supplies, either a vector of valid colors/hex colors of length equal to the unique levels.

gt_fa_column(
  gt_object,
  column,
  ...,
  palette = NULL,
  align = "left",
  direction = 1,
  height = "20px"
