DEPRECATED: Use https://github.com/FortAwesome/react-fontawesome instead
React Font Awesome is distributed via npm:
npm install react react-faYou also need to install webpack which is the only bundler at the moment capable to bundle not only JavaScript code but also stylesheets and static assets such as fonts and images:
npm install webpackYou also need a couple of loaders for webpack:
npm install babel-loader style-loader css-loader url-loader file-loader
npm install extract-text-webpack-pluginJust as simple as:
import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import {Icon} from 'react-fa'
ReactDOM.renderComponent(
<Icon spin name="spinner" />,
document.getElementById('main')

Use the following webpack config (put it in webpack.config.js):
var ExtractTextPlugin = require('extract-text-webpack-plugin')
module.exports = {
entry: './index.js',
output: {
path: 'assets',
filename: 'bundle.js',
},
module: {
loaders: [
{
test: /\.js$/,
loader: 'babel'
},
{
test: /\.css$/,
loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract('style-loader', 'css-loader')
},
{
test: /\.woff(2)?(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
loader: 'url-loader?limit=10000&mimetype=application/font-woff'
},
{
test: /\.(ttf|eot|svg)(\?v=[0-9]\.[0-9]\.[0-9])?$/,
loader: 'file-loader'
}
]
},
plugins: [
new ExtractTextPlugin('bundle.css')
]
}which compile everything (js, stylesheets and icon fonts) into assets/
directory so you would need this basic HTML file to start your app:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="assets/bundle.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="main"></div>
<script src="assets/bundle.js"></script>
</body>
</html>Note: If you run into issues with loading the FontAwesome font when not using ExtractTextPlugin, this might be fixed by making your publicPath absolute. See this StackOverflow question for details.
