### How can I add a new social network to RenderCV? ### How can I add a new social network to RenderCV?
To be answered. To add a new social network to RenderCV, go to the `rendercv/data_models.py` file and follow these steps:
1. Append the social network name (for example, "Facebook") to the `SocialNetworkName` type.
2. If necessary, implement its username validation in the `SocialNetwork.check_username` method.
3. Implement its URL generation using the `SocialNetwork.url` method. If the URL can be generated by appending the username to a hostname, only update `url_dictionary`.
4. Finally, include the $\LaTeX$ icon of the social network to the `icon_dictionary` in the `CurriculumVitae.connections` method. RenderCV uses the [`fontawesome5`](https://ctan.org/pkg/fontawesome5?lang=en) package. The available icons can be seen [here](https://fosszone.csd.auth.gr/CTAN/fonts/fontawesome5/doc/fontawesome5.pdf).
