I am using Font Awesome with Angular.
I want to loop through some data via *ngFor to create icons in a navigation bar. However, the [icon] is not accepting the values from the variable.
Component HTML
<div [ngClass] = "expanded ? 'navbar-collapsed': ''">
<div >
<button (click)="toggleCollapsed()">
A
</button>
<div *ngIf="expanded">My Site</div>
</div>
<ul >
<li *ngFor="let data of navData">
<a [routerLink]="[data.routeLink]">
//works
<fa-icon [icon]="['fas','star']"></fa-icon>
//Error: Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'IconProp'.
<fa-icon [icon]="data.iconfull"></fa-icon>
// Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'IconProp'.
<fa-icon [icon]="[data.iconfirst,data.iconsecond]"></fa-icon>
<span *ngIf="expanded">{{data.label}}</span>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
Data
export const navbarData = [
{
routeLink: 'dashboard',
iconfirst: 'fas',
iconsecond: 'star',
iconfull: "['fas','star']",
label: 'Dashboard'
}
]
CodePudding user response:
Cannot reproduce the third scenario.
From IconProp
,
export type IconProp = IconName | [IconPrefix, IconName] | IconLookup;
Hence, for the second scenario,
Specify the navbarData
type as:
import {
IconProp,
IconPrefix,
IconName,
} from '@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core';
navbarData: {
routeLink: string;
iconfirst: IconPrefix;
iconsecond: IconName;
iconfull: IconProp;
label: string;
}[] = [
{
routeLink: 'dashboard',
iconfirst: 'fas',
iconsecond: 'star',
iconfull: ['fas', 'star'],
label: 'Dashboard',
},
];
