Using self-hosted icons with this library #481

Closed zavan closed 2 years ago

zavan commented 2 years ago

I think it's not possible to use self-hosted icons with this library, is that correct? Would this feature be considered?

Could we get files in this format in the pro zip file we download? Then it's just a mater of importing them as usual, right?

Just found out that the files are present in the pro repo, so they can be downloaded and imported locally. Is this allowed?

@zavan yes, you can self-host the packages. We do encourage you to make sure they are protected and not available to the public as that would violate our license.

One quick note, the Font-Awesome-Pro repo is version 5 only. We will not be placing version 6 there.

@robmadole Appreciate this issue is closed, but I'm trying to do the exact same thing to get the pro icons working on an internal app of ours... how does one go from the downloaded Pro package/s to using them locally in the manner detailed here: https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/issues/17236 (which is exactly how I'd like to use them!)

Actually think I cracked it. Installed pro icons using private NPM registry key, then was able to run npm pack from within those locally installed packs to generate .tgz archives of the packages. I could then use these to install locally.
