How to replace font awesome icons with custom icons in rails application

Question

I have this code in my rails app, it displays a font awesome icon depending on wheteher the user selected the item.

My question is can I replace the font awesome icon with a custom icon from my assets/image file, if so I would appreciate if anyone could show me how to do this.

    <li class="<%= 'fa fa-times' if !@room.is_tv %>"> Cable TV</li>

Answer 1

You could use a rails image_tag helper. As long as its within the images folder so the asset pipeline knows where to look you could use

<%= image_tag('name-of-img.png') %>

EDIT from comments:

<% if !@room.is_tv %>
  <li>
    <%= image_tag('sign.png') %>
  </li>
<% end %>

From what you put in the comments

 <li><img src="<%= asset_path 'sign.png' if !@room.is_tv %>">TV</li>
                                                              ^This part is whats rendering text
