Include Font Awesome
Font Awesome gives you scalable vector icons that can instantly be customized — size, color, drop shadow, and anything that can be done with the power of CSS.
Create a new project and navigate into the project...
ng new my-app
cd my-app
Install the font-awesome
library and add the dependency to package.json...
npm install --save font-awesome
To add Font Awesome CSS icons to your app...
// in angular.json
"build": {
"options": {
"styles": [
"../node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css"
"styles.css"
],
}
}
Create an empty file _variables.scss in src/.
Add the following to _variables.scss:
$fa-font-path : '../node_modules/font-awesome/fonts';
In styles.scss add the following:
@import 'variables';
@import '../node_modules/font-awesome/scss/font-awesome';
Run ng serve
to run your application in develop mode, and navigate to http://localhost:4200
.
To verify Font Awesome has been set up correctly, change src/app/app.component.html
to the following...
<h1>
{{title}} <i class="fa fa-check"></i>
</h1>
After saving this file, return to the browser to see the Font Awesome icon next to the app title.
