Integrating FontAwesome 5 Pro?

[kbrookes]

Hi there,

I have a license for FA5 Pro. I see the latest version of Blank Bootstrap includes the free version, which is great.

The first (and only, so far) time I tried to use FA5 Pro with a previous version of Blank, I couldn't figure out how to only import the subset of icons I wanted to use, particularly in the context of wanting to use the svg option. I wound up using the entire library, which added a massive additional download to the project.

If you've got any tips on this front I'd greatly appreciate it!

I don't have a pro license. So if it is possible in the free version to create a subset of icons I will dive into it. But I didn't see something like this and I think it is more a FA issue then a BL4NK issue. Anyway, please provide a link to the documentation of creating subsets. Thanks.

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for the reply - it's definitely more of an FA thing, I've been wrestling with it for a while through stackoverflow without much luck.

Here's the node.js docs:

https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/use-with-node-js - it's fairly straightforward to install via NPM and get it into the BL4NK project.

Here's the bit on defining the library, which is where I get lost:

I've tried working with the gulp.js to integrate this method, but to no avail.
