## Fontawesome Icons For Bootstrap
2018-10-13 19:00:43 +00:00
Bootstrap (from version 4 onwards) have dropped Glyphicon icons font in their latest release.
Fontawesome Icons provide you with over 675 icons and they come in font format.
#### How To Use:
In the `<head>` of your html include a reference to Font Awesome.
```html
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
```
Using fontawesome is same as using Glyphicon.
Simply create `<i>` or `<span>` tag and apply the CSS Prefix `fa` and the icon's name. A code example has been provided below.
**Code Example:**
`<i class="fa fa-twitter" aria-hidden="true"></i>`
<i class="fa fa-twitter" aria-hidden="true"></i>
`<span class="fa fa-freecodecamp" aria-hidden="true"></span>`
<span class="fa fa-freecodecamp" aria-hidden="true"></span>
#### Fontawesome Icon List:
Complete list of icons provided by fontawesome is available [here](http://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/)
`.fa fa-align-left` This is fontawesome align left icon.
<span class="fa fa-align-left" aria-hidden="true"></span>
