Fontawesome 5 not displaying when using fa-solid.js

Question

I have an issue with displaying fontawesome when using the fa-solid.js instead of fontawesome-all.js

documentation states to use fas or fa for prefix, which I do, but still, nothing is showing unless I use the all.js package.

Am I missing something?

Answer 1

OK, this is old, but I just encountered the same problem.

What FA documentation is not telling you is how to load only one of the icon library (eg "solid").

Solution:

• either you load "fontawesome-all.js"
• or you load "fa-solid.js" AND "fontawesome.js"

(Of course, you can load the ".min" version of all of these scripts to gain some loading time.)
