Font-awesome icons not loading on Angular4 project

I'm working on an angular 4 project using font-awesome, i followed this guide to install the library with npm: How to add font-awesome to Angular 2 + CLI project

i've configured the project to compile the scss stylesheets with the ng-serve command, my styles paths of the angular-cli.json looks like this:

"styles": [
        "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap.scss",
        "../node_modules/bootstrap/scss/main.scss",
        "../node_modules/font-awesome/scss/font-awesome.scss"

      ],

i want to make a button with an address card icon on it, i'm also working with Bootstrap 4, so it looks like this:

<button class="btn btn-sm btn-primary"><span class="fas fa-address-card"></span></button>

but when it loads, it looks like this:

I had everything correct and it was working. I made changes to the design and the icons were displayed as box.

The issue was font-family. I had mentioned the font-family in css to all elements: *{ font-family: "inter" } .

Changing it to html, body{ font-family: "inter" } fixed it and font awesome started working fine.

after installing font awesome, you can add this to index.html

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/6.0.0-beta2/css/all.min.css" integrity="sha512-YWzhKL2whUzgiheMoBFwW8CKV4qpHQAEuvilg9FAn5VJUDwKZZxkJNuGM4XkWuk94WCrrwslk8yWNGmY1EduTA==" crossorigin="anonymous" referrerpolicy="no-referrer" />

Font-awesome version 5+

fa prefix has been depricated from version 5. In order to use fas prefix install version 5+ and include in your styles.

install:

yourapp$npm install @fortawesome/fontawesome-free --save

package.json

"styles": [
   "node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/all.css",
   "src/styles.scss"
  ],

First make sure you have properly setup the project requirements to use font-awesome icons by including them in styles[] in angular.jason or simply importing them by like this:

@import "~font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css";

in the component css file. Then it is necessary to have "fa" class in addition to what the font-icons markup gives you. Alternatively you can do like this:

<div class="fa">
<i class="whateverTheIconClassYouWant"></i>
</div>

Inside the div with class="fa" you can directly copy paste the code that is provided in font awsome website.

Hope this helps! Happy coding!!!!

You should be using the class fa instead of fas. The fa class sets the font-face. (hat tip to @mike-hill)
