Font Awesome module does not integrate with Font Awesome 6 #18748

DanielMoberly commented 2 years ago

Hello,

I have made several attempts to reach out to the Font Awesome team by email and have been ignored.

I develop and maintain the Drupal Font Awesome module which currently has over 66 thousand site installs.

We have a fundamental issue with Font Awesome 6 - see our issue queue here https://www.drupal.org/project/fontawesome/issues/3179775

A copy of the email which I sent to Font Awesome support team:

_I have some issue with the new release as you have dropped the previously included metadata in icons.yml and categories.yml

This information included search terms (in icons.yml) and categories (in categories.yml) which was used to fill autocomplete forms through Drupal.

As the module no longer includes these files for gathering metadata, I have moved the metadata collection to the Font Awesome API here, as I assume was your intention: https://fontawesome.com/v6/docs/apis/graphql/query-fields#search-icon

However, the search terms and categories do not appear to be available through the API as they used to be in the metadata.

How would you suggest that this information be obtained going forward? This is necessary for the proper operation of the module in Drupal._

Please note that I am only filing an issue here because I have been unable to get any response from Font Awesome support team for weeks - please reach out to me by email to discuss further if so desired

Hi @DanielMoberly , metadata will come back, please refer to #18662

Let's ask @robmadole

Hey @DanielMoberly. We'll be adding categories to the GraphQL API at some point. However, the search terms will not be publicly available. We are also releasing a command line tool that will let you download the metadata files in the format familiar to you in version 5.
