Drupal 8 add icon to block title based on block title

I needed a way for the the block template to decide whether the title needs an icon or not before it. Here is a hacky way for the template in Drupal 8 to add icon to block title.

Since the block labels were short and this was in a very specific block template that was only used for a certain type of blocks I was able to do the following.

In the template file block-MODULE-NAME.html.twig I added the following.

{%
  set classes = [
    'block',
    'block-' ~ configuration.provider|clean_class,
    'block-' ~ plugin_id|clean_class,
    'clearfix',
  ]
%}
{%
  set icon = [
    label == 'Subscribed' ? '<i class="fa fa-tags" aria-hidden="true"></i>' :
    label == 'Viewed' ? '<i class="fa fa-id-card-o" aria-hidden="true"></i>' :
    label == 'Requested' ? '<i class="fa fa-reply" aria-hidden="true"></i>' :
    label == 'Active' ? '<i class="fa fa-hourglass-half" aria-hidden="true"></i>' :
    label == 'Resolved' ? '<i class="fa fa-check" aria-hidden="true"></i>'
  ]
%}

<section{{ attributes.addClass(classes) }}>
  {{ title_prefix }}
  {% if label %}
    <h2{{ title_attributes.addClass('block-title') }}>{{ icon.0|raw }} {{ label }}</h2>
  {% endif %}
  {{ title_suffix }}

  {% block content %}
    {{ content }}
  {% endblock %}
</section>

I created an icon array, where the first item in it has a huge Twig expression. Basically a concatenated If-else series. that tests for the label and sets the necessary Font Awesome markup.

{{ icon.0|raw }}

prints the icon as is.

I would love to hear you comments. Click the heart icon if this helped, Cheers!
