You have two options:

1. Use import aliases (as my example below shows)
   
   
   
   • https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import
   
   
2. Create multiple files for library imports (e.x. solid-icons.js reg-icons.js) so the import names can be the same

import { library } from '@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core'
import { faFile } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons'
import { faFile as faFileRegular } from '@fortawesome/free-regular-svg-icons'

library.add(faFile, faFileRegular)

Thank you. It worked.

Hey @paustint - can you give an example of importing from a separate file please?

I'm having issues importing/exporting the icons from a separate file and then importing into my component.

Thanks in advance!

@robhadfield This is how I do it. I think it's the perfect solution.

I put these in a folder called /font-awesome and then just

import fontAwesome from './font-awesome`;

@stevensacks - that's almost identical to how I ended up doing it 👍🏼 😁
