Topic: datatables pro w/ fontawesome svg
cgalvarino priority asked 5 months ago
Expected behavior
Clicking on a header shows an arrow icon indicating sort direction. Clicking the header causes it to rotate. https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/standard/data/datatables/
Actual behavior
The icon doesn't seem to rotate if I am using SVG FontAwesome. It appears, just doesn't rotate. The column sort updates just fine.

I've tried troubleshoot your code and this part dom.watch();
was what interfered with datatable code. It monitors changes in dom and when icon was rotated it was replaced with "fresh one".

Thank you. I'll see if I can find a workaround. Without dom.watch(), .fa elements aren't switched to svg. If I can't find a workaround, I may have to stick w/ .fa css only when it comes to mdb.

Removing all my fa svg imports and commands and putting this instead fixed the sorting indicator header.
require("@fortawesome/fontawesome-pro/css/all.css");
It would be nice to be able to use fa svg, but this will work, at least for now.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the feedback.

Initially there is no style for the SVG. But once I click on it and no matter how many times I click on it, it stays stick at style="transform:rotate(0deg)".

How are you importing FA?
cgalvarino priority commented 5 months ago
import { library, dom } from "@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core";
import { faArrowUp } from "@fortawesome/pro-solid-svg-icons";
library.add( faArrowUp );dom.watch();

Sorry, I don't know the markdown syntax here.

And when you inspect arrow styles what do you see for this style:
.fa-solid, .fas {
font-family: "Font Awesome 6 Free";
font-weight: 900;
}
