Don't add font-awesome resources to aurelia.json - you'd need font files too, which Aurelia don't process. Instead, take the following steps.
First, if you added anything for font-awesome already to your aurelia.json file, remove it again.
Add new file prepare-font-awesome.js in folder aurelia_projectasks and insert the below code. It copies font-awesome resource files to output folder (as configured aurelia.json config file; e.g. scripts):
import gulp from 'gulp';
import merge from 'merge-stream';
import changedInPlace from 'gulp-changed-in-place';
import project from '../aurelia.json';
export default function prepareFontAwesome() {
const source = 'node_modules/font-awesome';
const taskCss = gulp.src(`${source}/css/font-awesome.min.css`)
.pipe(changedInPlace({ firstPass: true }))
.pipe(gulp.dest(`${project.platform.output}/css`));
const taskFonts = gulp.src(`${source}/fonts/*`)
.pipe(changedInPlace({ firstPass: true }))
.pipe(gulp.dest(`${project.platform.output}/fonts`));
return merge(taskCss, taskFonts);
}
Open the build.js file in the aurelia_projectasks folder and insert the following two lines; this will import the new function and execute it:
import prepareFontAwesome from './prepare-font-awesome'; // Our custom task
export default gulp.series(
readProjectConfiguration,
gulp.parallel(
transpile,
processMarkup,
processCSS,
prepareFontAwesome // Our custom task
),
writeBundles
);
Finally, in the <head> section of your index.html file, just add the following line:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="scripts/css/font-awesome.min.css">
That's all; now you can use font-awesome icons in any Aurelia view modules (html files).
Note that this works for any complex third party library which requires resources which you have to manually include.
