问题:

I'm using Angular 2+ and Angular CLI.

How do I add font-awesome to my project?

回答1:

After Angular 2.0 final release, the structure of the Angular2 CLI project has been changed — you don't need any vendor files, no system.js — only webpack. So you do:

npm install font-awesome --save

In the angular-cli.json file locate the styles[] array and add font-awesome references directory here, like below:

"apps": [
    {
      "root": "src",
      "outDir": "dist",
      ....
      "styles": [
          "styles.css",
          "../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css",
          "../node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css" // -here webpack will automatically build a link css element out of this!?
      ],
      ...
  }
  ]
],

In more recent versions of Angular, use the angular.json file instead, without the ../. For example, use "node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css".

Place some font-awesome icons in any html file you want:

<i class="fa fa-american-sign-language-interpreting fa-5x" aria-hidden="true"> </i>

Stop the application Ctrl + c then re-run the app using ng serve because the watchers are only for the src folder and angular-cli.json is not observed for changes.
Enjoy your awesome icons!

If you are using SASS, you can just install it via npm

npm install font-awesome --save

and import it in your /src/styles.scss with:

$fa-font-path: "../node_modules/font-awesome/fonts";
@import "../node_modules/font-awesome/scss/font-awesome.scss";

Tip: Whenever possible, avoid to mess with angular-cli infrastructure. ;)

回答3:

The top answer is a bit outdated and there is a slightly easier way.

install through npm

npm install font-awesome --save
in your style.css:

@import '~font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css';

or in your style.scss:

$fa-font-path: "~font-awesome/fonts"; @import '~font-awesome/scss/font-awesome';

Edit: as noted in the comments the line for fonts must be changed on newer versions to $fa-font-path: "../../../node_modules/font-awesome/fonts";

using the ~ will make sass look into node_module. It's better to do it this way than with the relative path. The reason is that if you upload a component on npm, and you import font-awesome inside the component scss then it will work properly with ~ and not with the relative path that will be wrong at that point.

This method works for any npm module that contains css. It works for scss as well. However if you are importing css into your styles.scss it won't work (and maybe vice versa). Here is why

There are 3 parts to using Font-Awesome in Angular Projects

Installation
Styling (CSS/SCSS)
Usage in Angular

Installation

Install from NPM and save to your package.json

npm install --save font-awesome

Styling If using CSS

Insert into your style.css

@import '~font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css';

Styling If using SCSS

Insert into your style.scss

$fa-font-path: "../node_modules/font-awesome/fonts";
@import '~font-awesome/scss/font-awesome.scss';

Usage with plain Angular 2.4+ 4+

<i class="fa fa-area-chart"></i>

Usage with Angular Material

In your app.module.ts modify the constructor to use the MdIconRegistry

export class AppModule {
  constructor(matIconRegistry: MatIconRegistry) {
    matIconRegistry.registerFontClassAlias('fontawesome', 'fa');
  }
}

and add MatIconModule to your @NgModule imports

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    MatIconModule,
    ....
  ],
  declarations: ....

}

Now in any template file you can now do

<mat-icon fontSet="fontawesome" fontIcon="fa-area-chart"></mat-icon>

回答5:

With Angular2 RC5 and angular-cli 1.0.0-beta.11-webpack.8 you can achieve this with css imports.

Just install font awesome:

npm install font-awesome --save

and then import font-awesome in one of your configured style files:

@import '../node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css';

(style files are configured in angular-cli.json)

UPDATE 8 Oct 2019:

You can use a new package https://www.npmjs.com/package/@fortawesome/angular-fontawesome

npm install @fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core @fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons

Add FontAwesomeModule to imports in src/app/app.module.ts:

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { FontAwesomeModule } from '@fortawesome/angular-fontawesome';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    FontAwesomeModule
  ],
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Tie the icon to the property in your component src/app/app.component.ts:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { faCoffee } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html'
})
export class AppComponent {
  faCoffee = faCoffee;
}

Use the icon in the template src/app/app.component.html:

<fa-icon [icon]="faCoffee"></fa-icon>

ORIGINAL ANSWER:

Option 1:

You can use angular-font-awesome npm module

npm install --save font-awesome angular-font-awesome

Import the module:

...
//
import { AngularFontAwesomeModule } from 'angular-font-awesome';
@NgModule({
  //...
  imports: [
    //...
    AngularFontAwesomeModule
  ],
  //...
})
export class AppModule { }

If you're using Angular CLI, add the font-awesome CSS to styles inside the angular-cli.json

"styles": [
    "styles.css",
    "../node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css"
],

NOTE: If using SCSS preprocessor just change the css for scss

Example Use:

<fa name="cog" animation="spin"></fa>

Optoin 2:

There is an official story for that now

Install the font-awesome library and add the dependency to package.json

npm install --save font-awesome

Using CSS

To add Font Awesome CSS icons to your app...

// in .angular-cli.json

"styles": [
  "styles.css",
  "../node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css"
]

Using SASS

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';

Test

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.

Also there is a related question Angular CLI outputs the font-awesome font files the dist root as by default angular cli outputs the fonts in to the dist root, which is by the way not an issue at all.

回答7:

Thought I would throw in my resolution to this since font-awesome is now installed differently according to their documentation.

npm install --save-dev @fortawesome/fontawesome-free

Why it is fortawesome now escapes me but thought I would stick with the most recent version rather than falling back to the old font-awesome.

Then I imported it into my scss

$fa-font-path: "../node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/webfonts";
@import "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome";
@import "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/brands";
@import "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/regular";
@import "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/solid";
@import "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/v4-shims";

Hope this helps

回答8:

After some experimentation I managed to get the following working:

Install with npm:
```
npm install font-awesome --save
```

add to angular-cli-build.js file:

vendorNpmFiles : [
    font-awesome/**/*.+(css|css.map|otf|eot|svg|ttf|woff|woff2)',
]

add to index.html

<link rel="stylesheet" href="vendor/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css">

The key was to include the font file types in the angular-cli-build.js file

.+(css|css.map|otf|eot|svg|ttf|woff|woff2)

回答9:

For Angular 6,

First npm install font-awesome --save

Add node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css to angular.json.

Remember not to add any dots in front of the node_modules/.

回答10:

Many instructions above work, I suggest looking at those. However, something to note:

Using  did not work in my project (new practice project only a week old) after installation and the sample icon here was also copied to the clipboard from Font Awesome within the past week.

This does work. If after installing Font Awesome on your project it isn't yet working, I suggest checking the class on your icon to remove the 's' to see if it works then.

回答11:

Font Awesome gives you scalablevector 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 navaApp
cd navaApp

Install the font-awesome library and add the dependency to package.json.

npm install --save font-awesome

Using CSS

To add Font Awesome CSS icons to your app...

// in angular.json
"build": {
"options": {
"styles": [
  "../node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css",
  "src/styles.css"
],
 }
}

Using SASS

Create new project with SASS:

ng new cli-app --style=scss

To use with existing project with CSS:

Rename src/styles.css to src/styles.scss Change angular.json to look for styles.scss instead of css:

// in angular.json
"build": {
"options": {
"styles": [
  "src/styles.scss"
],
}
}

Make sure to change styles.css to styles.scss.

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';

回答12:

There are many good answers here. But if you tried all of them and still getting squares instead fontawesome icons, check your css rules. In my case I had the following rule:

* {
  font-family: Roboto-Light, Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif !important;
}

And it overrides fontawesome fonts. Just replacing * selector to body solved my problem:

body {
  font-family: Roboto-Light, Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif !important;
}

回答13:

This post describes how to integrate Fontawesome 5 into Angular 6 (Angular 5 and previous versions will also work, but then you have to adjust my writings)

Option 1: Add the css-Files

Pro: Every icon will be included

Contra: Every icon will be included (bigger app size because all fonts are included)

Add the following package:

npm install @fortawesome/fontawesome-free-webfonts

Afterwards add the following lines to your angular.json:

"app": {
....
"styles": [
....
"node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free-webfonts/css/fontawesome.css",
"node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free-webfonts/css/fa-regular.css",
"node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free-webfonts/css/fa-brands.css",
"node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free-webfonts/css/fa-solid.css"
],
...    
}

Option 2: Angular package

Pro: Smaller app size

Contra: You have to include every icon you want to use seperatly

Use the FontAwesome 5 Angular package:

npm install @fortawesome/angular-fontawesome

Just follow their documentation to add the icons. They use the svg-icons, so you only have to add the svgs / icons, you really use.

Edit: I'm using angular ^4.0.0 and Electron ^1.4.3

If you have issues with ElectronJS or similar and have a sort of 404 error, a possible workaround is to uedit your webpack.config.js, by adding (and by assuming that you have the font-awesome node module installed through npm or in the package.json file):

new CopyWebpackPlugin([
     { from: 'node_modules/font-awesome/fonts', to: 'assets' },
     { from: 'src/assets', to: 'assets' }
]),

Note that the webpack configuration I'm using has src/app/dist as output, and, in dist, an assets folder is created by webpack:

// our angular app
entry: {
    'polyfills': './src/polyfills.ts',
    'vendor': './src/vendor.ts',
    'app': './src/app/app',
},

// Config for our build files
output: {
    path: helpers.root('src/app/dist'),
    filename: '[name].js',
    sourceMapFilename: '[name].map',
    chunkFilename: '[id].chunk.js'
},

So basically, what is currently happening is:

Webpack is copying the fonts folder to the dev assets folder.
Webpack is copying the dev assets folder to the dist assets folder

Now, when the build process will be finished, the application will need to look for the .scss file and the folder containing the icons, resolving them properly. To resolve them, I've used this in my webpack config:

// support for fonts
{
    test: /\.(ttf|eot|svg|woff(2)?)(\?[a-z0-9=&.]+)?$/,
    loader: 'file-loader?name=dist/[name]-[hash].[ext]'
},

Finally, in the .scss file, I'm importing the font-awesome .scss and defining the path of the fonts, which is, again, dist/assets/font-awesome/fonts. The path is dist because in my webpack.config the output.path is set as helpers.root('src/app/dist');

So, in app.scss:

$fa-font-path: "dist/assets/font-awesome/fonts";
@import "~font-awesome/scss/font-awesome.scss";

Note that, in this way, it will define the font path (used later in the .scss file) and import the .scss file using ~font-awesome to resolve the font-awesome path in node_modules.

This is quite tricky, but it's the only way I've found to get around the 404 error issue with Electron.js

Starting from https://github.com/AngularClass/angular-starter, after having tested a lot of different configuration combination, here is what I did to get it working with AoT.

As already said many times, in my app.component.scss:

$fa-font-path: "~font-awesome/fonts" !default;
@import "~font-awesome/scss/font-awesome";

Then in webpack.config.js (actually webpack.commong.js in the starter pack) :

In the plugins section:

new CopyWebpackPlugin([
    { from: 'src/assets', to: 'assets' },
    { from: 'src/meta'},
    { from: 'node_modules/font-awesome/fonts', to: 'assets/fonts/' }
]),

In the rules section:

,
{
    test: /\.(eot|woff2?|svg|ttf)([\?]?.*)$/,
    use: 'file-loader?name=/assets/fonts/[name].[ext]'
}

I wasted several hours trying to get the latest version of FontAwesome 5.2.0 working with AngularCLI 6.0.3 and Material Design. I followed the npm installation instructions off of the FontAwesome website

Their latest docs instruct you do install using the following:

npm install @fortawesome/fontawesome-free

After wasting several hours I finally uninstalled it and installed font awesome using the following command (this installs FontAwesome v4.7.0):

npm install font-awesome --save

Now it's working fine using:

$fa-font-path: "~font-awesome/fonts" !default;
@import "~font-awesome/scss/font-awesome.scss";
<mat-icon fontSet="fontawesome" fontIcon="fa-android"></mat-icon>

回答17:

You can use Angular Font Awesome package

npm install --save font-awesome angular-font-awesome

and then import in your module:

import { AngularFontAwesomeModule } from 'angular-font-awesome';
     @NgModule({
       //...
      imports: [
        //...
        AngularFontAwesomeModule
      ],
      //...
    })
    export class AppModule { }

and import the style in angular-cli file:

   "styles": [
        "styles.css",
        "../node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css"
    ],

see more details about the package in npm library:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/angular-font-awesome

and then use it like this:

回答18:

Using LESS (not SCSS) and Angular 2.4.0 and standard Webpack (not Angular CLI, the following worked for me:

npm install --save font-awesome

and (in my app.component.less):

@import "~font-awesome/less/font-awesome.less";

and of course you may need this obvious and highly intuitive snippet (in module.loaders in webpack.conf)

        {
            test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif|svg|woff|woff2|ttf|eot|ico)(\?(v=)?(\d+)(\.\d+)*)?$/,
            loader: 'file?name=graphics/[name].[ext]'
        },

The loader is there to fix webpack errors of the kind

"Module parse failed: \node_modules\font-awesome\fonts\fontawesome-webfont.svg?v=4.7.0 Unexpected token (1:0)"

and the regexp matches those svg-references (with or without version specification). Depending on your webpack setup you might not need it or you may need something else.

回答19:

Add it in your package.json as "devDependencies" font-awesome : "version number"

Go to Command Prompt type npm command which you configured.

回答20:

I wanted to use Font Awesome 5+ and most answers focus on older versions

For the new Font Awesome 5+ the angular project hasn't been released yet, so if you want to make use of the examples mentioned on the font awesome website atm you need to use a work around. (especially the fas, far classes instead of the fa class)

I've just imported the cdn to Font Awesome 5 in my styles.css. Just added this in case it helps someone find the answer quicker than I did :-)

Code in Style.css

@import "https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.0.7/css/all.css";

回答21:

If for some reason you cant install package throw npm. You can always edit index.html and add font awesome CSS in the head. And then just used it in the project.

回答22:

For webpack2 use:

{
 test: /\.(png|jpe?g|gif|svg|woff|woff2|ttf|eot|ico)(\?(v=)?(\d+)(\.\d+)*)?$/,
                    loader: "file-loader"
}

instead of file-loader?name=/assets/fonts/[name].[ext]

回答23:

To use Font Awesome 5 in your Angular project, insert the code below in the of the src/index.html file.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.4.1/css/all.css" integrity="sha384-5sAR7xN1Nv6T6+dT2mhtzEpVJvfS3NScPQTrOxhwjIuvcA67KV2R5Jz6kr4abQsz" crossorigin="anonymous">

Good luck!
