ng2-fontawesome

An easy-to-use directive for font awesome icons.

Install

npm i -s ng2-fontawesome

Usage

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>

Options

Name	Valid Values
icon	Any font awesome icon name
fw	true, false
size	'lg', '2x', '3x', '4x', '5x'
spin	true, false
pulse	true, false
rotate	'90', '180', '270'
flip	'vertical', 'horizontal'
extra	any other classes you want to attach to this icon

ng2-fontawesome's Issues

parse fail, prob syntax err

Thanks for being so responsive to the issue you just fixed on deck.zone

but in building that project after the change I got an err for ng2-fontawesome.

Short output below. If you want it I can dump the full thing but I think it's clear:

ERROR in ./~/ng2-fontawesome/index.js
Module parse failed: C:\Users\John Vandivier\Documents\GitHub\deck.zone\node_modules\ng2-fontawesome\index.js Unexpected character '@' (5:0)
You may need an appropriate loader to handle this file type.
SyntaxError: Unexpected character '@' (5:0)
at Parser.pp.raise (C:\Users\John Vandivier\Documents\GitHub\deck.zone\node_modules\acorn\dist\acorn.js:920:13)

ng2-fontawesome looks for traceur

When I install ng2-fontawesome, I get following error message on the console when I try to bootstrap

zone.js:101 GET file:///home/hayashis/git/kdinstall/traceur net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

I am compiling my .ts to .js on the server side so I don't need any transpiler installed on the client. I am not sure why ng2-fontawesome need this, but do I need to install it? If so, how?

error TS2307: Cannot find module 'ng2-fontawesome'.

i'm using a fresh install of the angular2-seed and affthe the process of install ing the module i'm getting the error

error TS2307: Cannot find module 'ng2-fontawesome'.
