How do I use svg from Font Awesome 5.5 as icons in Bootstrap 4?



I want do use Font Awesome icons in Bootstrap 4. How do I do that in the best way? I have downloaded the svg-files and can use them as a normal image but it is how it should be done?



<div class="form-group">
<label for="name">Namn</label>
<div class="input-group">
<div class="input-group-prepend">
<div class="input-group-text"><img src="img/svgs/regular/address-book.svg" width="20px" height="20px" alt="Name"></div>
</div>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="name" name="Name" placeholder="" value="" autofocus>
</div>
</div>

    Why do you want to use the SVGs? Why not just use the font in the normal way.

  • Best way to use the font indeed. But if you want to use the svg's, just add a cssClass to it and a css to control the size.

  • Because everywhere on the internet it says that fonts no longer should be used as icons (only fonts), but replaced with svg. I like Font Awesome because they have lot of icons.
