Svelte Fa
Tiny FontAwesome component for Svelte
Overview
The Svelte-Fa npm bundle is a Tiny FontAwesome component specifically designed for Svelte applications. It supports both version 5 and 6 of FontAwesome and provides a tree-shakable solution, meaning that it only imports the icons that are actually used in your application. The bundle does not require a separate CSS file and supports FontAwesome layering and duotone icons.
Features
- FontAwesome Version 5 and 6: Supports both versions of FontAwesome icons.
- Tree-shakable: Only imports the used icons, reducing the bundle size.
- No CSS file required: The bundle does not require a separate CSS file.
- FontAwesome Layering: Supports layering of FontAwesome icons.
- FontAwesome Duotone Icons: Supports duotone icons in FontAwesome.
For Sapper:
npm install --dev svelte-fa
For SvelteKit/Vite:
import { FaIcon } from 'svelte-fa'
When using TypeScript with SvelteKit/Vite, you may also need to add type definitions that redirect to the non-index.es export.
Summary
The Svelte-Fa npm bundle is a lightweight and convenient solution for using FontAwesome icons in Svelte applications. It provides support for both FontAwesome version 5 and 6, supports tree-shaking to reduce the bundle size, and allows for advanced features like layering and duotone icons. Installation is straightforward, requiring only a few code snippets. Overall, Svelte-Fa is a valuable tool for integrating FontAwesome icons into Svelte projects.
