Install and Use Font Awesome Icons in Laravel
To install and use Font Awesome icons in a Laravel application, you can follow these steps:
- Install Font Awesome: You can add Font Awesome to your Laravel project using the following methods:
- Using npm or Yarn (Recommended): Install Font Awesome with npm or Yarn by running the following command in your project’s root directory:
npm install --save font-awesomeoryarn add font-awesome - Using CDN (Alternative): If you prefer using a CDN, you can include Font Awesome directly in your HTML layout file by adding the following line to the
<head>section of yourresources/views/layouts/app.blade.phpfile:<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.3/css/all.min.css">

PHP
<button>
<i class="fas fa-heart"></i> Like
</button>In this example, we’re using the fas class for solid icons and fa-heart to specify the heart icon. You can find the class names for different icons on the Font Awesome website.
You can use Font Awesome icons anywhere in your Laravel Blade views, such as buttons, links, menus, and more.
- Styling (Optional): You can apply your own CSS styles to Font Awesome icons as needed. You can target them using their CSS classes and customize their appearance according to your design requirements.
That’s it! You have now installed and can use Font Awesome icons in your Laravel application. Remember to adjust the class names and icon choices based on your specific design needs.
