components / font-awesome

Shim repository for Font Awesome.

Components

Package manager-friendly distributions of many popular Components.

Note: Components is NOT a package manager.

What is it

There are many packages managers... More than one for each language! And for each one you need a mirror repository with built *.js.

Components is here to centralize this, having only one repository by project, supporting every package manager there is and keeping project repositories up-to-date.

Keep it simple: all Components repositories will be made available in the official list of your package manager (naming may change based on said manager): you don't have to do anything, just install our component like any other.

When we can extend the package manager, Components comes with some additionnal features (the install directory for example).

Package Managers

Although package manager support varies from package to package, Components aims to support as many package managers as possible. Some examples include:

• npm
• Bower
• Component
• Jam
• volo
• Ender
• Composer, see Components Installer for Composer
• Package Manager Comparison

Notes

The Bower repositories try to have a standardized name of components-*.

Maintainers

If you are using grunt as part of the build process for your library, you can use this helper to release a new version of your library in the main repo, and the compiled version of your code to your component repository:

Contributing

If you see a Component that requires an update, or is missing support for a certain package manager, feel free to open an issue or better, a pull request!

font-awesome's Issues

Description not descriptive

I'm having a little trouble understanding the description.

I understand how many folks use the term "shim" to mean giving older or incomplete technologies more capabilities to get to parity with better or more recent technologies. But, it doesn't appear that's the intended meaning in the sentence "Shim repository for Font Awesome." Could you expound on the meaning of this phrase and the purpose of this repo? What would be the reason for using this over FontAwesome/Font-Awesome?

Thank you.

upgrade to 4.1

Hello,

any plan to upgrade to 4.1 ?

Font files missing from bower.json

Commit 02633e5 removed the font files from the main section in bower.json. This has broken my build, as the fonts are no longer copied with a bower-dev build task in Grunt. I've mitigated this with the following package-specific override in my Gruntfile.js:

bower: {
    dev: {
        dest: 'build/inc',
        js_dest: 'build/scripts',
        css_dest: 'build/style',
        fonts_dest: 'build/fonts',
        options: {
            expand: false,
            keepExpandedHierarchy: false,
            packageSpecific: {
                'components-font-awesome': {
                    files: [
                        'css/font-awesome.css',
                        'fonts/fontawesome-webfont.*'
                    ]
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Is there a reason why the scss is not present?

Hi,

I wanted to use this component in order to use Font-Awesome via Bower, but the SCSS version is not present. I wanted to be able to use the SCSS version so that I can change the paths / colours variables. Is there a reason for the SCSS not being present in this repo?

For now I've just forked Font-Awesome and added your bower.json to my fork, but I'd rather use the components version if possible.

Thanks,

Scotty

Font-Awesome 6.4.0 ... When?

The latest version for composer is 6.2.0, but official Font-Awesome 6.4.2 is 4 months old now... When should we expect the update?

Bower with invalid meta

bower components-font-awesome#^4.6.3
invalid-meta The "main" field cannot contain font, image, audio, or video files

Bower - "font-awesome was not injected in your file."

I can install Font Awesome v4.0.3 via bower install components-font-awesome --save

But grunt bower-install says "font-awesome was not injected in your file" and for me to add the file manually.

Any idea on what's happening?

OTS parsing error

We are getting this error since yesterday
FortAwesome/Font-Awesome#9352

It works fine on local, but when deployed, the browser fails to parse.

Update to 4.0.2

Component support

http://github.com/component/component

fonts not installed

Something is wrong with this shim. Using 4.0.3 tag only the css/ folder is installed, but it must also install the fonts/ directory but does not. I assume "fonts/*" section does not work in the composer.json

add support for FA 5.x's "svg-with-js" mode

Currently, only sub folders of web-fonts-with-css are copied from FA's original repo. Please also provide the other modes starting with 5.0.

`components-font-awesome` package missing in npm

I'm giving up bower! It stopped to make sense to use both npm and bower. I'm migrating all bower dependencies indo npm:dependencies.

One of my dependencies in bower is "components-font-awesome": "=3.2.1". I can't find it in npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/components-font-awesome. As far as I understand it, the idea of components is to support as many managers as possible (https://github.com/components/components#package-managers), and npm here is missing. Could you publish the components-font-awesome package in npm?

Or if you don't have time, I can do that and afterwards transfer the ownership in npm - but please say so.

4.7 is out!

any chance we could get a refresh? there's some stuff in there I'd like

bower package has not been updated to 4.7.0

It's currently still at version 4.6.1.

3.2.0 Tag

Please update to 4.6.1

The latest version of font-awesome is 4.6.1.

Font Awesome 6 Update

The first stable version of Font Awesome 6 is now available (https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/releases/tag/6.0.0).

I could do a PR but as it's a major release I don't know if I'm going to miss something that I don't have into account right now.

Update to 4.1.0

Pretty please :)

https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/releases/tag/4.1.0

Font Awesome 5

Is it planned to provide a version for Font Awesome 5 (free version)?

Missing Icon

Font awesome has a fa-question-circle-o. It displays if I use font awesome directly, but it is missing in your library.

I looked in your font-awesome.css and this is what I see:
.fa-question-circle:before { content: "\f059"; }

FontAwesome 4.0.0 has been released.

Please could you update to Font-Awesome 4.0.0 which has been released stable,

Does not contains the support for version 4

Font awesome provides "v4-shims.css" which supports version 4 icons, which is missing from this package.

So please can you add it ?

woff2 is missing in published bower.json 4.3.0

invalid bower.json

when I try to update to latest version bower says "invalid-meta components-font-awesome is missing "ignore" entry in bower.json"

component.json - Error in JSON-Format

I see that there is a trailing comma at the end of the "files" array in your JSON string. Thank you for you great work.

Update to 4.0.3

They seem to be on a roll!

Update to 4.5.0

Hi, is there any chance we can update this to 4.5.0? The google icon might have change on the latest release and we'd like to install font-awesome with bower. Thanks!

Please Update to 4.1

I would like to get at the new icons.

4.2

It looks like FA is up to version 4.2 and the current git version is 4.1.
