Getting error when trying to use Nuxt font awesome 5 although I followed the official manual page












2















I'm trying to use font awesome 5 in my Nuxt project following the official guide below.
https://www.npmjs.com/package/nuxt-fontawesome



However, I'm getting a strange error and can't display what I want.




[Vue warn]: Unknown custom element: - did you register the component correctly? For recursive components, make sure to provide the "name" option.




Here is how my code looks like:



//index.vue
<template>
<fa :icon="fas.faAddressBook" />
<fa :icon="faGithub" />
</template>
<script>
import { fas } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons'
import { faGithub } from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons'
computed: {
fas () {
return fas
},
faGithub () {
return faGithub
}
},
and more.....


//nuxt.config.js
modules: [
[
'bootstrap-vue/nuxt', { css: true },
['nuxt-fontawesome', {
component: 'fa',

imports: [
//import whole set
{
set: '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons',
icons: ['fas']
},
]
}]
],
],
fontawesome: {
component: 'fa',
imports: [
{
set: '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons',
icons: ['fas']
},
],
},


Please let me ask for your help. I have spent long enough time on this issue already. Thank you in advance!

          Ok, I had a similar issue and found that the vue-fontawesome plugin worked although the nuxt-fontawesome one didn't. So, my steps:



          npm install --save @fortawesome/vue-fontawesome @fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core @fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons @fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons



          create a fontawesome.js file in plugins folder and put this in it:



          import Vue from 'vue'
          import { library, config } from '@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core'
          import { FontAwesomeIcon } from '@fortawesome/vue-fontawesome'
          import { fas } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons'
          import { fab } from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons'

          // This is important, we are going to let Nuxt.js worry about the CSS
          config.autoAddCss = false

          // You can add your icons directly in this plugin. See other examples for how you
          // can add other styles or just individual icons.
          library.add(fas)
          library.add(fab)

          // Register the component globally
          Vue.component('font-awesome-icon', FontAwesomeIcon)


          then in nuxt.config.js



           css: [
          '@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core/styles.css'
          ],

          /*
          ** Plugins to load before mounting the App
          */
          plugins: [
          '~/plugins/fontawesome.js',

          ],


          and then to use in any page:



          <font-awesome-icon icon="['fab', 'facebook']"  style="font-size: 22px"/>


          That's pretty much all here

          • Thank you for your answer! Just after I posted this question, I found that workaround. But it is not how the official page explained so I wanted to find a straightforward way but it seems I need to use plugin anyway. Thank you for your answer very much again!

            Done. By the way, <font-awesome-icon icon="['fab', 'facebook']" style="font-size: 22px"/> this didnt work. Instead, <font-awesome-icon :icon="{ prefix: 'fab', iconName: 'facebook' }" style="color: #4267B2; font-size: 72px;"/> it needs to be like this. Just for the sake of ppl who see this page.

          • Yeah I copied mine but I was using a v-for with an array of icons and was binding them so I had the :icon= in it but thought it would be just icon= if not dynamic. Guess not. Anyway, glad you got it working. Cheers.

          import { fab } from '@fortawesome/free-brands-svg-icons'

          // This is important, we are going to let Nuxt.js worry about the CSS
          config.autoAddCss = false

          // You can add your icons directly in this plugin. See other examples for how you
          // can add other styles or just individual icons.
          library.add(fas)
          library.add(fab)

          // Register the component globally
          Vue.component('font-awesome-icon', FontAwesomeIcon)


          then in nuxt.config.js



           css: [
          '@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core/styles.css'
          ],

          /*
          ** Plugins to load before mounting the App
          */
          plugins: [
          '~/plugins/fontawesome.js',

          ],


          and then to use in any page:



          <font-awesome-icon icon="['fab', 'facebook']"  style="font-size: 22px"/>


          That's pretty much all here

          • Thank you for your answer! Just after I posted this question, I found that workaround. But it is not how the official page explained so I wanted to find a straightforward way but it seems I need to use plugin anyway. Thank you for your answer very much again!

            Done. By the way, <font-awesome-icon icon="['fab', 'facebook']" style="font-size: 22px"/> this didnt work. Instead, <font-awesome-icon :icon="{ prefix: 'fab', iconName: 'facebook' }" style="color: #4267B2; font-size: 72px;"/> it needs to be like this. Just for the sake of ppl who see this page.

          • Yeah I copied mine but I was using a v-for with an array of icons and was binding them so I had the :icon= in it but thought it would be just icon= if not dynamic. Guess not. Anyway, glad you got it working. Cheers.
