Our $1,000,000 Kickstarter stretch goal brought our SVG Framework to all of Font Awesome 5. We are super-excited to bring this to you.
As a Pro backer your early access preview gives you access to this new framework and we need your help!
We're collecting feedback here.
SVG Framework using the JavaScript implementation
Pros:
- Most familiar (still use
<i class="fa fa-user"></i>) - Replaces icons with inline
<svg>elements for you - Includes and packages the CSS features of Font Awesome (like
.fa-spin) - Easy, automatic accessibility handling
- Support for unicode and ligatures (not complete yet)
Cons:
- You need JavaScript
- Not as performant as sprites
- DOM mutations take special handling
- Has a few moving parts
