FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Font Awesome Blade directives for Laravel
This package will render font awesome icons in your views on the server side. This removes the need to add extra JavaScript or webfont resources on the client side and in doing so reduces the size of your website significantly.
This is achieved by replacing the icons with their svg counterpart before sending the response to the client.

:warning: Since version 2.0, the middleware is no longer automatically injected. You will have to add this to the routes where needed.
This package includes a middleware, InjectStyleSheet, that injects a minimal stylesheet into your views on render.
The middleware can be added to your routes as documented by Laravel:
Views
To use Font Awesome icons in your view there are a few new blade directives.
When using the @fa() directive. The package will scan the different Font Awesome libraries and use the first library where it finds the icon.
The order in which the libraries are scanned is regular, brands, solid. But this can be modified in the configuration.

The @fa() function can take three parameters of which only the first is required.
