how to use Glyphicons in bootstrap 4 and angular2? - glyphicons

Question

I am doing an app with angular-cli and bootstrap4, but when I do some references to Glyphicons, the icons don´t appear. For example, when I add the following code:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-lg">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-star" aria-hidden="true"></span> Star
</button>
I did the bootstrap installation in my angular project with:
$ npm install --save bootstrap#4.0.0-alpha.6
I should make any extra step to have the Glyphicons in bootstrap? Do I should install another npm package specific for Glyphicons?

Answer 1

There are no Glyphicons now in Bootstrap 4 so you'd use another icon package such as FontAwesome or installed the Glyphicons separately.

Answer 2

As already mentioned, Bootstrap 4 doesn't include glyphicon in self release.
I am using FontAwesome and that dependencies in my cases:

In HTML templates just place a code like that:
<i class="fa fa-refresh" aria-hidden="true"></i>

Answer 3

I recently purchased the entire Glyphicons set and added it to my Angular application. Here is my process:
Create a Glyphicons folder in the assets folder here src/assets/glyphicons
Add glyphicons.css to the folder above.
Add this in styles.css
"styles": ["styles.css", "../src/assets/glyphicons/glyphicons.css"],
Create a fonts folder at src/assets/fonts
Inside the fonts folder place the following files
-glyphicons-regular.eot
-glyphicons-regular.svg
-glyphicons-regular.ttf
-glyphicons-regular.woff
-glyphicons-regular.woff2
