fontawesome with vue do not work

Is there a way to install fontawesome in Vue? I tried few tutorials but they are all useless and do not work or icons are empty or plugin does not render at all!!!! I don't want to import the font by script, I want to install it in my application. I tried this tutorial (https://github.com/FortAwesome/vue-fontawesome) but whatever I did the icons do not render, maybe someone can point me to the solution?

Here is my code but the icons even do not render:

import FontAwesomeIcon from '@fortawesome/vue-fontawesome';


export default {
  name: 'App',
  components:{FontAwesomeIcon}
}

<template>
  <div id="app"><font-awesome-icon icon="spinner" /></div>
</template>

also, I get an error in the console:

Check not find one or more icon(s) {prefix: "fas", iconName: "spinner"} {}

I had the same issue with:

package.json

    "@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core": "^1.2.36",
    "@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons": "^5.15.4",
    "@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons": "^5.15.4",
    "@fortawesome/vue-fontawesome": "^2.0.2",

Relying on a previous project where it worked, I upgraded @fortawesome/vue-fontawesome to ^3.0.0-4, which fixed the issue for me.

I was getting the following warning and not getting the icons displayed:

"export 'default' (imported as 'FontAwesomeIcon') was not found in '@fortawesome/vue-fontawesome'

Solution for me was to import an specific portion instead of going to default

changed from:

import FontAwesomeIcon from '@fortawesome/vue-fontawesome'

to

import { FontAwesomeIcon } from '@fortawesome/vue-fontawesome'

Also, in the case that you are using multiple icons, it can be easier to import and load the whole set of icons e.g.

...        
import { fas } from "@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons";
    
library.add(fas);
...

Remember to load each icon that you are using. My icons weren't rendering because I forgot to add them to the library.

Template:

<icon icon="lock" />

JS:

import Vue from 'vue';
import { library } from '@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core';
import {
  // import icons here
  faLock,
} from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons';
import { FontAwesomeIcon } from '@fortawesome/vue-fontawesome';

import App from './App.vue';

// add icons to library here
library.add(faLock);

Vue.component('icon', FontAwesomeIcon);

Vue.config.productionTip = false;

new Vue({
  render: h => h(App),
}).$mount('#app');

I think you might be missing some dependencies. Please try

<script>
import fontawesome from "@fortawesome/fontawesome";
import brands from "@fortawesome/fontawesome-free-brands";
// import 1 icon if you just need this one. Otherwise you can import the whole module
import faSpinner from "@fortawesome/fontawesome-free-solid/faSpinner"; 
import FontAwesomeIcon from "@fortawesome/vue-fontawesome";

fontawesome.library.add(brands, faSpinner);
// or .add(brands, solid) if you need the whole solid style icons library/module

export default {
  name: "App",
  components: {
    FontAwesomeIcon
  }
};
</script>
