Font-awesome: Using latest icons from npm?

[slavafomin]

Hello!

Thank you for this great library!

However, how do I use the latest version of the icons through the npm?

According to the releases page the latest version of the library is 5.2.0. However, the latest version available on npm is 4.7.0.

I'm trying to use the free user-cog icon available starting from 5.0.11.

Thanks!

Hi!

Thanks for being part of the Font Awesome Community.

Font Awesome's official NPM packages are available under the @fortawesome scope.

Take a look here: https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/setup/using-package-managers let me know if that helps

Thank you for clarifying this!

I'm using angular2-fontawesome package which depends on this package font-awesome. I've followed the link to GitHub repo from it's npm page and have got to this repo.

Looks like I should ping the authors of angular2-fontawesome.

@slavafomin we have an official component for angular:

Wow, that's even better. However, our application is already using the package I've mentioned above, so it would take some effort in order to migrate to the official one.

Thank you for your hard work, it looks like FontAwesome did very well during the last years.

You're welcome. Glad you've solved 👍
