This is what worked for me.

Taken from the user @ahbou on the webpacker issues page https://github.com/rails/webpacker/issues/619#issuecomment-430644035

on your console

yarn add @fortawesome/fontawesome-free

inside your .scss file

$fa-font-path: '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/webfonts'; 
@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome';
@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/solid';
@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/regular';
