Including Font Awesome?

[nicholasalanbrown]

HI -

I'm using this terrific boilerplate and have tried including Font Awesome both through the font-awesome-rails package with an @import statement in application.css.scss and as an npm module, but can't get either implementation to work. Is this some weirdness caused by the modified asset pipeline?

Thanks!

Hi! We're in the process of totally reworking the process for inclusion of Sass in Webpack + Rails projects in the next few weeks. See #162.

I'd say that it's critical to adjust this file: https://github.com/shakacode/react-webpack-rails-tutorial/blob/master/client/assets/stylesheets/_bootstrap-variables-customization.scss

You should probably install font awesome from the gem for rails, and from npm for the hot-reload server.

In the very near future, we'll do all the sass/css from webpack, so you'll just use npm. If you can, please try out using the npm font-awesome here: https://github.com/shakacode/bootstrap-loader-css-modules-example. Please do a PR and we'll make sure it works from npm. This is a user case we want to support. CC: @alexfedoseev
