I started an NG2 app and wanna add font awesome. I npm installed it with : npm install --save font-awesome angular2-font-awesome. I added to project in systemjs.config.js:

Answer 1

if you wanna using FontAwesome css style in your app, just put css link to your index.html, you don't need angular2-font-awesome

index.html

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">

if you using angular2-font-awesome

<i fa [name]="industry"></i>
<fa [name]="industry"></fa>

i think use cdn is better.

Answer 2

I think you need to add it to your .angular-cli.json section like this:

you may have it under a different name in your node_modules. try to go down the list in node_modules and see under what name it has been installed. The other thing I noticed is npm install --save font-awesome angular-font-awesome

`"styles": [
    "styles.css",
    "../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css",
    "../node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css",
    "../node_modules/npm-font-open-sans/open-sans.styl"


  ],

Answer 3

Not much of effort is needed just include the script tag.

<div>
      <h2>Hello {{name}}</h2>
      <i class="fa fa-home"></i>
</div>

and my index.html contains script reference to the above script URL.

Answer 4

Try to use this method:

Firstly install font awesome using command : npm install --save font-awesome angular-font-awesome

secondly, import it in your style.scss file with

$fa-font-path: "../node_modules/font-awesome/fonts";
@import "../node_modules/font-awesome/scss/font-awesome.scss";

or to your style.css file with

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

command. The fonts are ready to use.

Now place your font in any html file. <i class="fa facebook"></i>
