migration to bootstrap-vue icons #536

Closed yetanothercoder closed 4 years ago

yetanothercoder commented 4 years ago
Overview of the feature request

Recently icons package was added to BootstrapVue: https://bootstrap-vue.js.org/docs/icons - so it can be useful to migrate to them instead of FontAwesome ones.

Motivation for or Use Case
  1. improved a consistency with bootstrap
  2. minimized the amount of dependencies and codebase.
  3. large amount of totally free icons (no issues with licenses), appendable in the future by BV releases

Thanks for the suggestion, but right now I don't think we will do that as all other frontends still use font awesome.

As we will not do it in vue.js alone and are quite happy with fontawesome I think we can close this for now. We can revisit bootstrap icons later if needed.
