How to Install Font Awesome in Laravel Mix

I've tried to install Font Awesome using Laravel Mix but when executing run npm dev I get the following message:

ERROR Failed to compile with 1 errors
error in ./~/font-awesome/scss/font-awesome.scss Module build failed: /** ^ Invalid CSS after "...load the styles": expected 1 selector or at-rule, was "var content = requi" in /var/www/html/blog/node_modules/font-awesome/scss/font-awesome.scss (line 1, column 1)

I removed the comments in the file and tried to change font paths, but it did not solve the problem.

webpack.mix.js

mix.js('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js')
.sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')
.copy('node_modules/font-awesome/fonts/', 'public/fonts')
.sass('node_modules/font-awesome/scss/font-awesome.scss', 'public/css')
.version();

fontawesome.scss

@import "mixins";
@import "path";

@import "larger";
@import "fixed-width";
@import "list";
@import "bordered-pulled";
@import "animated";
@import "rotated-flipped";
@import "stacked";
@import "icons";
@import "screen-reader";

Try in your webpack.mix.js to add the '*' 

.copy('node_modules/font-awesome/fonts/*', 'public/fonts')

To install font-awesome you first should install it with npm. So in your project root directory type:

npm install font-awesome --save

(Of course I assume you have node.js and npm already installed. And you've done npm install in your projects root directory)

Then edit the resources/assets/sass/app.scss file and add at the top this line:

@import "node_modules/font-awesome/scss/font-awesome.scss";

Now you can do for example:

npm run dev

This builds unminified versions of the resources in the correct folders. If you wanted to minify them, you would instead run:

npm run production

And then you can use the font.

For Laravel >= 5.5

  • Run npm install font-awesome --save
  • Add @import "~font-awesome/scss/font-awesome.scss"; in resources/assets/saas/app.scss
  • Run npm run dev (or npm run watch or even npm run production)

I am using Laravel 5.5.14 and none of the above worked for me. So here are the steps I did to make it work.

1.Install font-awesome by using npm:

   npm install font-awesome --save

2.Move the fonts to your public directory by adding this line in your webpack.mixin.js

mix.copyDirectory('node_modules/font-awesome/fonts', 'public/fonts/font-awesome');

3.Open your app.scss to specify the path of the fonts in your node_modules and which relative path to use for compilation:

$fa-font-path: "../fonts/font-awesome" !default;
@import "~font-awesome/scss/font-awesome.scss";

How to Install Font Awesome 5 in Laravel 5.3 - 5.6 (The Right Way)

Build your webpack.mix.js configuration.

mix.setPublicPath('public');
mix.setResourceRoot('../');


mix.js('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js')
.sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');

Install the latest free version of Font Awesome via a package manager like npm.

npm install @fortawesome/fontawesome-free --save-dev

This dependency entry should now be in your package.json.

// Font Awesome
"devDependencies": {
"@fortawesome/fontawesome-free": "^5.15.3",

In your main SCSS file /resources/assets/sass/app.scss, import one or more styles.

@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome';
@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/regular';
@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/solid';
@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/brands';

Compile your assets and produce a minified, production-ready build.

npm run production

Finally, reference your generated CSS file in your Blade template/layout.

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="\{\{ mix('css/app.css') }}">

I have recently written a blog about it for the Laravel5.6. Link to blog is https://www.samundra.com.np/integrating-font-awesome-with-laravel-5.x-using-webpack/1574

The steps are similar to above description. But in my case, I had to do extra steps like configuring the webfonts path to font-awesome in "public" directory. Setting the resource root in Laravel mix etc. You can find the details in the blog.

I am leaving the link here so it helps people for whom the mentioned solutions don't work.

This is for new users who are using Laravel 5.7(and above) and Fontawesome 5.3

npm install @fortawesome/fontawesome-free --save

and in app.scss

@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/css/all.min.css';

Run

npm run watch

Use in layout

<link href="\{\{ asset('css/app.css') }}" rel="stylesheet">
小开

the path you are using is not correct you could just open the node_module and find the path of font-awesome. use could use js or svg font but i prefer the css style.

at first use this command to install font-awesome-free npm install --save-dev @fortawesome/fontawesome-free

after that you can do this

@import "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome";
@import "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/regular";
@import "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/solid";
@import "~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/brands";

and I copy the font path like below this is optional

.copy('node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/webfonts', 'public/fonts');

and finally just run the script npm run dev or npm run watch in laravel

// Fonts
@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome';

and add to resources\js\app.js

then run

npm run dev

or

I found all answers above incomplete somehow, Below are exact steps to get it working.

  1. We use npm in order to install the package. For this open the Console and go to your Laravel application directory. Enter the following:

    npm install font-awesome --save-dev

  2. Now we have to copy the needed files to the public/css and public/fonts directory. In order to do this open the webpack.mix.js file and add the following:

    mix.copy('node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css', 'public/css'); mix.copy('node_modules/font-awesome/fonts/*', 'public/fonts');

  3. Run the following command in order to execute Laravel Mix:

    npm run dev

  4. Add the stylesheet for the Font Awesome in your applications layout file (resources/views/layouts/app.blade.phpapp.blade.php):

    <link href="\{\{ asset('css/font-awesome.min.css') }}" rel="stylesheet" />

  5. Use font awesome icons in templates like

    <i class="fa fa-address-book" aria-hidden="true"></i>

I hope it helps!

Laravel 9 and fontawesome 6.1

composer create-project laravel/laravel:^9 laravel-9


cd laravel-9


npm i --save-dev @fortawesome/fontawesome-free@^6.1.0

create file resources/sass/app.scss

@import "@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome";
@import "@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/regular";
@import "@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/solid";
@import "@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/brands";

replace webpack.mix.js by

const mix = require('laravel-mix');


// set path to laravel public directory
//mix.setPublicPath('public');


// path to laravel public directory from public/css/app.css
mix.setResourceRoot("../");


mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
.sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');

Add to your view

<script src="\{\{ mix('js/app.js') }}"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="\{\{ mix('css/app.css') }}" />

Note: When done correctly, the font files are automatically copied to the public directory. You do not need to copy them manually as seen here in many answers.

Note: If your laravel site is in a subfolder (http://domain/site/), make sure to add mix_url to config/app.php

    // laravel mix assets url
'mix_url' => env('APP_URL', null),
