Add font awesome icon to full calendar title

Question

I'm using wordpress, formidable forms and full calendar to create a bespoke calendar solution

I have everything working except for I'd like to add a font awesome icon at the front of each title in the calendar.

If I add any html in the title like my code below I just see the code printed and not the final results.

Could any of you point me in the right direction?? :-)

Regards

You can modify the title prepending font-awesome icon inside the eventRender function.

I added one option with key icon: if icon is defined appends fontawesome icon in the eventRender function.

Check this example:

$('#calendar').fullCalendar({
  events: [
    {
        title  : 'event1',
        start  : '2015-10-01',
        icon : "asterisk" // Add here your icon name
    },
    {
        title  : 'event2',
        start  : '2015-10-05',
        end    : '2015-10-07'
    },
    {
        title  : 'event3',
        start  : '2015-10-09T12:30:00',
        allDay : false // will make the time show
    }
],
eventRender: function(event, element) {
     if(event.icon){          
        element.find(".fc-title").prepend("<i class='fa fa-"+event.icon+"'></i>");
     }
  }        
})
