Libraries provider fontawesome
This module provides a definition for the Font Awesome icon library for Drupal, allowing it to be managed by the Libraries provider module. It defaults to loading Font Awesome from a CDN, but can be configured to use a local version or a different version. This project was initially created to support icon usage in the Drulma theme.
Libraries Provider Fontawesome is just a library definition for the Fontawesome library with the extra information needed to be configured by Libraries provider.
By default it will load the Fontawesome library from the jsdelivr CDN.
Note that libraries provider is not a required module since the definition of the library works out of the box. Install libraries provider when you need to change some of the defaults this module provides, for example, override the version or load the assets from the local filesystem.
Installation
It is recommended to install this module using composer.
composer require drupal/lp_fontawesome:^6
Versioning
This module follows the fontawesome version but with the minor multiplied by 10. For example the version 6.7.20 of this module corresponds with the 6.7.2 version of fontawesome. This allow for this module to release minor versions that do not change the upstream version.
Notes
This project started as a way to use icons on the Drulma theme since it is the default icon set used by that project.
