Developer Guide

Using the icons

  • Use the create method from the enum type, for instantiating a new Icon component based on that icon. There is an enum type for each font family (solid, regular and brands)
add(new Button("SAVE", FontAwesome.Solid.SAVE.create()));
  • You can also use the enumerated value for obtaining the qualified icon name (e.g. fas:plane-departure), that can be set in the icon attribute of the vaadin-icon element. This can be helpful if you are writing a template renderer, such as:
	grid.addColumn(LitRenderer.<Flight>of(
	   "<vaadin-icon icon='"+FontAwesome.Solid.PLANE_DEPARTURE+"'></vaadin-icon>${item.takeoff_time}"
	).withProperty("takeoff_time", Flight::getTakeOffTime));

In this latter case, you'll need to import the corresponding iconset:

@Uses(FontAwesome.Solid.Icon.class)
  • Use in a Lit or Polymer template:
import '@vaadin/vaadin-icon/vaadin-icon.js';
import '@flowingcode/font-awesome-iron-iconset/fab.js';
<vaadin-icon icon="fab:font-awesome" style="width: 48px; height: 48px"></vaadin-icon>

Special configuration when using Spring

By default, Vaadin Flow only includes com/vaadin/flow/component to be always scanned for UI components and views. For this reason, the addon might need to be whitelisted in order to display correctly.

To do so, just add com.flowingcode to the vaadin.whitelisted-packages property in src/main/resources/application.properties, like:

vaadin.whitelisted-packages = com.vaadin,org.vaadin,dev.hilla,com.flowingcode

More information on Spring whitelisted configuration here.

Integration with Font Awesome Pro

Because of Font Awesome Pro license terms, the Pro icons cannot published as part of an open source addon. However, if you have a Font Awesome Pro license, you can recompile this addon in order to embed the Pro Icons.

This process will:

  • Update the enumerations so that they define constants for the additional Pro Icons
  • Create new enumerations for the Ligth and Duotone icon families.
  • Embed the Pro Icons as vaadin-iconset.

The JAR created in this way will include a copy of the Font Awesome Pro icons, thus it will be subject to the Font Awesome Pro restrictions. You'll need to install it locally or make it available from your internal artifact repository.

  1. Checkout a copy of this project: git clone git@github.com:FlowingCode/FontAwesomeIronIconset.git
  2. Download Font Awesome Pro SVG sprites into src/main/sprites OR Font Awesome Pro SVG icons into /src/main/icons (/src/main/icons/solid, /src/main/icons/regular, etc.)
  3. Modify the groupId, artifactId and version in the pom.xml file.
  4. Modify the following properties in the pom.xml file:
<fontawesome.version>Pro 5.13.1</fontawesome.version>
<project.build.generatedResources>${project.basedir}/src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/frontend</project.build.generatedResources>
<codegen.sprites>${project.basedir}/src/main/sprites</codegen.sprites>
<codegen.skipDownload>true</codegen.skipDownload>
<codegen.embedded>true</codegen.embedded>
  1. Execute mvn -Pgenerate clean package. The code generation process will use the sprites provided in /src/main/sprites/ (it will not check out Font Awesome Free), and resources will be embedded in the JAR file instead of being available as npm dependencies (the properties npm.package and npm.version will be ignored).

If you want to import the JS iconset from a Polymer Template when using the integration with Font Awesome Pro, the js module is
@vaadin/flow-frontend/font-awesome-iron-iconset/fab.js instead of @flowingcode/font-awesome-iron-iconset/fab.js (you'll need to execute the mvn vaadin:prepare-frontend on your project in order to extract the module from the JAR file).

Duotone styling is based on CSS variables (--fa-primary-color, --fa-primary-opacity, --fa-secondary-color, and --fa-secondary-opacity) that are applied to the <duotone-icon>. When importing the iconset from a Polymer Template, you'll also need @vaadin/flow-frontend/font-awesome-duotone/duotone.js in addition to @vaadin/flow-frontend/font-awesome-iron-iconset/fad.js.

When compiling icons for FontAwesome Pro 6 you need to need to use at least JDK 15. This is because of a limitation in the maximum number of constants allowed in an enum compiled by javac with earlier JDKs. This only affects the generated bytecode: the compatibility level remains 11 so that the library is still compatible with Java 11 (or Java 8 if using version 3.x of this addon).

If any enum exceeds 4103 constants (which may happen when compiling the whole FontAwesome 6 Pro iconset plus aliases), you need to enable the alternative compilation profile with mvn -Pbigenum,generate clean package.
