Font Awesome 5 introduces 4 prefixes for icons and some icon name changes for the purpose of clarity and specificity. I updated all the names for the font awesome icons, except the ones in foundation-datepicker.js file. The fa prefix could have been maintained in our application for the solid icons whose names have not been changed in version 5. But I changed the prefix tofas since that is the prefix that shows up on the font awesome site when a person searches for solid icons.

Font Awesome - Upgrading from Version 4 to Version 5
https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/upgrading-from-4
Font Awesome 5 introduces 4 prefixes for icons and some icon name changes for the purpose of clarity and specificity. I updated all the names for the font awesome icons, except the ones in
foundation-datepicker.js
file. Thefa
prefix could have been maintained in our application for the solid icons whose names have not been changed in version 5. But I changed the prefix tofas
since that is the prefix that shows up on the font awesome site when a person searches for solid icons.Font Awesome Icons
