This post will give you a simple example of how to add font awesome icons in angular 16. Follow the below tutorial step of use font awesome icons in angular 16.

The icon is a basic requirement of each project. icons indicate more, you don't need to write a label for it. icons also make the beautiful layout of our application. If you think to use icons in your application then you will always prefer to use font-awesome icons. font-awesome provides lots of icons and you can use it very easily.

So, I think, for example, I will learn how to install font awesome icons in the angular 16 application step by step. it's very simple but, for new developers that can understand how you can do it.

Step 1: Create New App

You can easily create your angular app using below command:

ng new my-new-app

Step 2: Install font-awesome

In this step, you need to just install font-awesome on your angular 16 and import css file to style.css file. this is only for css importing. so you can run command bellow:

npm install font-awesome --save

Step 3: Import CSS

After successfully, installed font-awesome, we need to import css files on angular.json file. so let's add following lines on it.

angular.json

"$schema": "./node_modules/@angular/cli/lib/config/schema.json",
  "version": 1,
  "newProjectRoot": "projects",
  "projects": {
    "appFont": {
      ....
            "assets": [
              "src/favicon.ico",
              "src/assets"
            ],
            "styles": [
              "node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css",
              "src/styles.css"
            ],
      ......

OR, you can also give path like as this way, if above is not working:

"$schema": "./node_modules/@angular/cli/lib/config/schema.json",
  "version": 1,
  "newProjectRoot": "projects",
  "projects": {
    "appFont": {
      ....
            "assets": [
              "src/favicon.ico",
              "src/assets"
            ],
            "styles": [
              "../node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css",
              "src/styles.css"
            ],
      ......

Step 4: Use Font Awesome Icons

Now we are ready to use font awesome classes in our html file. so let's add following code on your app.component.html file.

src/app/app.component.html

<h1>Angular 16 Install Font Awesome Icons Example - ItSolutionStuff.com</h1>
