Font Awesome 5 Ember component using SVG with JS
Hey there! We're glad you're here...
If you've used Font Awesome in the past (version 4 or older) there are some things that you should learn before you dive in.
This package is for integrating with Ember.js. If you aren't using Ember then it's not going to help you. Head over to our "Get Started" page for some guidance.
This package, under the hood, uses SVG with JS and the @fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core
library. This implementation differs drastically from
the web fonts implementation that was used in version 4 and older of Font Awesome. You might head over there to learn about how it works.

This project is an Ember addon. So we'll add that first:
$ ember install @fortawesome/ember-fontawesome
We need at least one style. Let's start with the free version of Solid.
$ npm i --save-dev @fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons
Brands are separated into their own style and for customers upgrading from version 4 to 5 we have a limited number of Regular icons available.
Visit fontawesome.com/icons to search for free and Pro icons
$ npm i --save-dev @fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons
$ npm i --save-dev @fortawesome/free-regular-svg-icons
Do this for each icon pack you'll use in your app. By default, all installed
icon packs will be bundled into vendor.js
and also added to the Font Awesome
library (i.e. library.add()
)
If you are a Font Awesome Pro subscriber you can install Pro packages.
$ npm i --save-dev @fortawesome/pro-solid-svg-icons
$ npm i --save-dev @fortawesome/pro-regular-svg-icons
$ npm i --save-dev @fortawesome/pro-light-svg-icons
Using the Pro packages requires additional configuration.
$ yarn add --dev @fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons
If you want to include only a subset of icons from an icon pack, add a
fontawesome
configuration object to your applications options in
ember-cli-build.js
. The following example declares that all icons in
free-solid-svg-icons
should be included in the vendor.js
bundle add
added to the library, and for pro-light-svg-icons
, only faAdjust
and
faAmbulance
are to be included in the bundle and added to the library.
// ...
let app = new EmberApp(defaults, {
// Add options here
fontawesome: {
icons: {
'free-solid-svg-icons': 'all'
'pro-light-svg-icons': [
'faAdjust',
'faAmbulance'
]
}
})
The following features are available as part of Font Awesome.
This is what it can look like in your template:
Without a prefix specified, the default fas
is assumed:
If you want to use an icon from any style other than solid, you must use prefix=
.
You can also import the icon objects from the icon packs and make them available to your templates.
import Controller from '@ember/controller'
import { faCoffee } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons'
export default Controller.extend({
faCoffee,
// ...
});
Then in a template:
This object knows its own prefix, by the way, so it wouldn't be necessary to
use prefix=
for disambiguation.
Make it fancier with a mask:
Spin and pulse animation:
Fixed width:
Border:
Flip horizontally, vertically, or both:
Size:
Rotate:
Pull left or right:
Power Transforms:
Masking:
Symbols:
Layers:
<span class="fa-layers fa-lg">
{{fa-icon 'circle'}}
{{fa-icon class='fa-inverse' 'check' transform='shrink-6'}}
</span>
Layers text:
<span class="fa-layers fa-lg">
{{fa-icon 'circle'}}
<span class="fa-layers-text">8</span>
</span>
