I'm trying to use icons from FontAwesome in an Angular project.
I started with the "Getting Started" guide you can find here: FontAwesome Angular Getting Started
Everything works fine, i can see the faCoffee icon wherever i put it in my templates. But if I try to change it to another icon (ex. the "check" icon), nothing is shown.
I changed my icon declaration at component-level to make it look like this:
import { faCheck } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons';
Changed the html template to show my new icon:
<fa-icon [icon]="faCheck"></fa-icon>
Then the icon field assignment in my component:
faCheck = faCheck;
Please note that i'm changing essentially only the name of the icon from the examples that i tested and are working at the Url i posted above. Even if I go to the definition of "faCheck" on my declaration, i see that it's defined so I expect it to be available.
Chrome console shows this error when page is loading:
FontAwesome: Could not find icon. It looks like you've provided a null or undefined icon object to this component.
First attempt to use FontAwesome in my projects, useful general informations are welcome.
UPDATE: Got it working rebuilding my entire application. I was using VS Code, so when you save a file he tries to recreate the final bundle to let you navigate and check your development. I don't know what really happens with components in-memory state. I think the icon was not showing because of some misalignment of references.
1- Install this npm install @fortawesome/fontawesome-free
2- Add this to angular.json
(angular-cli.json
)
"styles": [
"...",
"./node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/all.min.css"
]
3- Now you can use fonts with <i>
tag
all you have to do is:
1 - add this to your index.html:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.2.0/css/all.css" integrity="sha384-hWVjflwFxL6sNzntih27bfxkr27PmbbK/iSvJ+a4+0owXq79v+lsFkW54bOGbiDQ" crossorigin="anonymous">
2 - use your icon as:
<i class="fas fa-check"></i>
You don't have to add anything in your component.ts
nor in your app.module.ts
nor install anything with yarn or npm.
EDIT: To answer you question, here is a stackblitz with the faCheck used as mentioned in the tutorial, it's working for me: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-4ebr9t
check if you installed all the dependencies as said in the tutorial.
