Utilities

The following are utilities for cascading app defaults through nested components and managing icon foundries.

Utilities List

Utility	Notes
MBCascadingDefaults	Allows you to set up defaults such as button style (filled, outlined etc), text area style (filled or outlined)
MBIconHelper	Working with IMBMdcIcon and IMdcIconFoundry to implement MBMIFoundry() to specify Material Icons, and optionally FAFoundry() for Font Awesome and OIFoundry() for Open Iconic icons. Icon names are passed to components as a string, with an additional parameter of IconFoundry using utility functions from MBIcon to specify the foundry and its optional parameters. Your default icon foundry can be set in MBCascadingDefaults (which itself defaults to Material Icons) and then you can pass string names for the icon of your choice. For Font Awesome icons, omit the preceding "fas/r/l/d" because this is set as a Font Awesome foundry style and in MBCascadingDefaults.FAIconStyle. Font Awesome relative icon size and Material Icons theme are also similarly parameterized. Material.Blazor expects you to include Material Icons in your project (these are necessary for drop down arrows and so forth, but Font Awesome icons are discretionary depending upon your project's requirement - you do however need to use Font Awesome version 5 and Open Iconic version 1.1.
