I am working with Angular(6) application, and I am trying to use FA icons, and drop-down with no luck. I am successfully using FA(4) icons, like:
<i class="fa fa-align-justify"></i>
But <i class="fas fa-align-justify"></i> is not working. I am using following command to install FA:
npm install font-awesome --save
This is from package.json in node_modules folder:
I can see font-awesome.css, but it says Font Awesome 4.7.0 as shown below:
In angular.json file, I referenced FA:
"node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css",
I read a lot of posts like How to use font Awesome 5 installed via NPM
What do I need to do else?

For version 5, you need following package @fortawesome/fontawesome. See installation using package managers.
Using npm:
npm install --save @fortawesome/fontawesome-free
Then reference either the all.css or all.js in the <head>.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/all.css">
Note: Make sure the path is right, depends on where you installed the package from.
OR you can import the module in your js code.
import '@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/js/all.js';
OR if you are using Sass, you can import the module in app.scss.
@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome';
@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/<type>';
Note: Replace <type> with solid, brands or regular whatever type of icons you need.
Font Awesome has an official Angular component.
npm install --save @fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core
npm install --save @fortawesome/free-<type>-svg-icons
npm install --save @fortawesome/angular-fontawesome
Note: Replace <type> with solid, brands or regular whatever type of icons you need.
You can also install Vue and React components.
npm install --save @fortawesome/vue-fontawesome
npm install --save @fortawesome/react-fontawesome
For Font Awesome 4.7.0:
It should work by simply doing:
npm install font-awesome --save
And adding:
@import "~font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css";
...to your styles.css or styles.scss.
For Font Awesome 5 use the official Font Awesome 5 angular component
npm add @fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core
npm add @fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons
npm add @fortawesome/angular-fontawesome
In your template:
<div style="text-align:center">
<fa-icon [icon]="faAlignJustify"></fa-icon>
</div>
In your typescript:
import { faAlignJustify } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons';
export class MyComponent {
faAlignJustify = faAlignJustify;
}
In the module of your component:
import { FontAwesomeModule } from '@fortawesome/angular-fontawesome';
@NgModule({
declarations: [
MyComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
FontAwesomeModule
]
})
export class MyModule { }
If you are using npm install --save @fortawesome/fontawesome-free change the package.json to refer
import "@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/all.css";
Alternatively, you can install fontawesome as a module in your js code.
Steps:
npm install @fortawesome/fontawesome-free --saveall.js file as instructed at the very bottom of the instructions here.import '@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/js/all.js';
- or -
require('@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/js/all.js');
