An easy-to-use directive for font awesome icons.
npm i -s ng2-fontawesome
First, make sure you have a CSS and font loader set up for webpack, like so:
{
test: /\.css/,
loader: 'style!css'
},
{
test: /\.woff|\.woff2|\.svg|.eot|\.ttf/,
loader: 'file'
},
It is recommended that you globally apply the Font Awesome directive like so:
import { provide, PLATFORM_DIRECTIVES } from '@angular/core';
import { FontAwesomeDirective } from 'ng2-fontawesome';
import { bootstrap } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
bootstrap(MyAppComponent, [
provide(PLATFORM_DIRECTIVES, { useValue: FontAwesomeDirective, multi: true })
]);
Doing so will allow you to use the fa
directive anyhwere. Supposing you don't want to do that, registering it and including it like normal will work as well.
Here is how you would use it in your templates:
<i fa [icon]="'cog'" [fw]="true"></i>
