How to get the prefix
This version allows getting the prefix (fab|far|fas) from an icon using a function.
First, you will need to add a Maven dependency to your module
<dependency> <groupId>org.jahia.modules</groupId> <artifactId>font-awesome</artifactId> <version>[6.0,6.2)</version> <scope>provided</scope> </dependency>
Also, in your pom.xml, you will need to add the package com.jahia.module.fontawesome in the list of the Import-Package of your maven-bundle-plugin
<plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.felix</groupId> <artifactId>maven-bundle-plugin</artifactId> <extensions>true</extensions> <configuration> <instructions> <Import-Package>com.jahia.module.fontawesome,${jahia.plugin.projectPackageImport},*</Import-Package> </instructions> </configuration> </plugin> </plugins>
Then declare the taglib and use the fa:getPrefix function
<%@ taglib prefix="fa" uri="http://font-awesome.com/taglibs" %>
${fa:getPrefix('fa-ban')}
This will return fas because the icon ban is located in the solid font (fas).

Are you a Font awesome 4 user
If yes, you should seriously read the related doc on the font awesome website https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-web/setup/upgrading-from-version-4, but you can still try to use the deprecated font-awesome.css file or simply add ad a v4-shims.min.css to keep compatibility.
