Support for Font Awesome 6

I appreciate FA 6 is still in beta but it looks like many of the changes extend the base already found in FA5 and the usage is very similar (mainly just more icons, a couple of additional animations, and an additional ‘thin’ class). Would it be possible to add it as an option to supplement the current FA4/5 ones?

Hi Ben,
Once it’s officially released it will be included in Wappler :slight_smile:

OK, I understand. I was just hoping, as there doesn’t seem to be any groundbreaking changes, that it might be able to be added. I’ll just have to be more patient, which is pretty difficult for me!

Bump - FA6 is released

Yes but a lot of its metadata is missing and people are forced to use a new fontawesome api

So we are waiting till this get fully resolved, see:

Ah, ok. Thanks George

So, according to that conversation, it seems the FA6 will not (and seemingly never) include the search terms in metadata. Does that mean it will never be implemented in Wappler?

Hi @george,
It appears that there is a metadata folder for FA6 - does it have what you need to integrate into Wappler?

If not, I’ll cancel my subscription and just stick with FA5
