Icons Guide

By default, FontAwesome icons' aliases are configured in the share buttons packages, however the icons are not loaded out of the box, they should be imported manually.

A good place to import the icons is in src/polyfills.ts file, but since there are too many icons to import, it is more elegant to have the icons imported in their own file

Create a new file src/icons.ts, the following code includes all the icons this package uses, so you should exclude the icons you do not need.

import { library } from '@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core';

import { faFacebookF } from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons/faFacebookF';
import { faTwitter } from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons/faTwitter';
import { faRedditAlien } from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons/faRedditAlien';
import { faLinkedinIn } from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons/faLinkedinIn';
import { faGooglePlusG } from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons/faGooglePlusG';
import { faTumblr } from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons/faTumblr';
import { faPinterestP } from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons/faPinterestP';
import { faWhatsapp } from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons/faWhatsapp';
import { faVk } from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons/faVk';
import { faFacebookMessenger } from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons/faFacebookMessenger';
import { faTelegramPlane } from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons/faTelegramPlane';
import { faStumbleupon } from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons/faStumbleupon';
import { faXing } from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons/faXing';

import { faCommentAlt } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons/faCommentAlt';
import { faMinus } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons/faMinus';
import { faEllipsisH } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons/faEllipsisH';
import { faLink } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons/faLink';
import { faExclamation } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons/faExclamation';
import { faPrint } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons/faPrint';
import { faCheck } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons/faCheck';
import { faEnvelope } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons/faEnvelope';

const shareButtonsIcons = [
  faFacebookF, faTwitter, faLinkedinIn, faGooglePlusG, faPinterestP, faRedditAlien, faTumblr,
  faWhatsapp, faVk, faFacebookMessenger, faTelegramPlane, faStumbleupon, faXing, faCommentAlt,
  faEnvelope, faCheck, faPrint, faExclamation, faLink, faEllipsisH, faMinus
];

library.add(...shareButtonsIcons);

Make sure you use the deep link to import an icon to avoid importing the rest in your bundle.

Now in src/polyfills.ts, add the following line:

import './icons';
