## Font Awesome Icons For Bootstrap
|
|
|
|
Bootstrap (from version 4 onwards) have dropped Glyphicon icons font in their latest release.
|
|
Font Awesome 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">
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also use Font Awesome's own CDN.
|
|
```html
|
|
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.4.1/css/fontawesome.css" integrity="sha384-BzCy2fixOYd0HObpx3GMefNqdbA7Qjcc91RgYeDjrHTIEXqiF00jKvgQG0+zY/7I" crossorigin="anonymous">
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Additionally, the Font Awesome CDN can supply the brand and regular logos independently.
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.4.1/css/brands.css" integrity="sha384-Px1uYmw7+bCkOsNAiAV5nxGKJ0Ixn5nChyW8lCK1Li1ic9nbO5pC/iXaq27X5ENt" crossorigin="anonymous">
|
|
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.4.1/css/fontawesome.css" integrity="sha384-BzCy2fixOYd0HObpx3GMefNqdbA7Qjcc91RgYeDjrHTIEXqiF00jKvgQG0+zY/7I" crossorigin="anonymous">
|
|
```
|
|
Using Font Awesome 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-free-code-camp" aria-hidden="true"></span>`
|
|
|
|
<span class="fa fa-free-code-camp" aria-hidden="true"></span>
|
|
|
|
Icons inherit the `font-size` of their parent container by default, but sizing can be modified by adding `.fa-*` classes, where `*` is one of `xs, sm, md, lg or [1-5]x`.
