Spin an Icon like FontAwesome

Topic: Spin an Icon like FontAwesome

appresearcher free asked 4 years ago

I am replacing some FontAwesome code that spins an icon for 7 seconds when a page loads... in the HTML...

<fa-icon [icon]="faMagic" fa-spin [class]=mySpinner></fa-icon>

in the TS....

  ngOnInit() {
    this.wand();
  }
async wand() {
    this.mySpinner = "toolbar-faicon-dk fa fa-spinner fa-spin";
    await this.delay(7000);
    this.mySpinner = "toolbar-faicon-dk";
  }

  public delay(ms: number) {
    return new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, ms));
  }

Is there a way to do this with your icon library?

You can use the same approach, just change the html to use mdb-icon syntax:

<mdb-icon fas [icon]="'magic'" [class]=mySpinner></mdb-icon>

But since that "[class]=mySpinner" includes references to FontAwesome…

this.mySpinner = "toolbar-faicon-dk fa fa-spinner fa-spin";

If I don't install FontAwesome, it won't work, right? If I do install it, why would I need MDB? The goal is to not install FontAwesome if possible. Thanks.

Currently mdb-icon is just a wrapper for font awesome icons. We will probably add support for some other icons to this component in the future.
