Font Awesome 4.7 CDN - JavaScript

Font Awesome 4.7 is a popular icon library used by developers and designers to add scalable vector icons to web and mobile applications. The library consists of over 675 icons, which can be customized in size, color, and style using CSS.

One way to add Font Awesome 4.7 to your project is through a CDN (Content Delivery Network). This allows you to simply include the Font Awesome JavaScript and CSS files in your HTML pages without having to download and host the files yourself.

Adding Font Awesome 4.7 CDN to your project

To add Font Awesome 4.7 CDN to your project, simply include the following code snippets in the head section of your HTML file:

<!-- Add the Font Awesome 4.7 stylesheet -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" />

<!-- Add the Font Awesome 4.7 JavaScript -->
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/js/fontawesome.min.js"></script>

The first snippet includes the Font Awesome 4.7 stylesheet from the CDN, which contains the icon styles defined using CSS. The second snippet includes the Font Awesome JavaScript, which is required to display the icons correctly in your HTML.

Using Font Awesome 4.7 icons in your HTML

Once you've added the Font Awesome 4.7 CDN to your project, you can use the icons in your HTML using the i tag with the appropriate icon classes.

For example, if you want to display a smiley face icon, you can use the following code:

<i class="fa fa-smile-o"></i>

The fa class indicates that you're using Font Awesome, and the fa-smile-o class corresponds to the smiley face icon.

You can also customize the size, color, and style of the icons using CSS classes provided by Font Awesome.

Conclusion

Using Font Awesome 4.7 CDN is a simple and convenient way to add scalable vector icons to your web and mobile applications. By including the Font Awesome JavaScript and CSS files in your HTML, you can quickly and easily access over 675 customizable icons.
