A step-by-step angular tutorial

FontAwesome is the internet’s most popular icon toolkit which has been redesigned and built from scratch. On top of this, features like icon font ligatures, an SVG framework, official NPM packages for popular frontend libraries like React, and access to a new CDN.

In this post, I am going to show you how to configure fontawesome to be used in angular in only 5–1 steps.

In these steps, we will configure fontawesome without using the specific Angular package. In a future post, it will be configured using the official package, which is even simpler, and we will have fontawesome working with the same Angular ecosystem.

Step 1 (or 0). Init your project

If you are thinking about using fontawesome in your angular project, you probably have an initialized project already. However, for this tutorial, let’s start with our project from scratch.
