Hi everyone,
Using Elixir Phoenix and esbuild, I installed fontawesome using NPM in the assets folder. I can properly load the SCSS files, but the fonts do not load. I get the following error:
no route found for GET /node_modules/@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/webfonts/fa-solid-900.ttf
Any idea how could I fix this?
PS: My esbuild config is:
config :esbuild, version: "0.14.0", default: [ args: ~w(js/app.js --bundle --target=es2017 --outdir=../priv/static/assets --external:/fonts/* --external:/images/*), cd: Path.expand("../assets", __DIR__), env: %{"NODE_PATH" => Path.expand("../deps", __DIR__)} ]
Thanks in advance for your help!

That URL looks pretty suspect to me. You should be able to peek at
priv/static/assetsand see if the font files are being placed in there.If they look good, check that you’re importing/including/whatevering them correctly in the JS (or whatever)?

The font files are not placed in priv/static/assets, only the scss is compiled and injected into the app.css file.
Somehow it looks like esbuild (or whatever) does not move the font files in the priv folder.

This gist seems to imply you need to do some lifting yourself maybe, specifically adding loaders for font file types?

Might help?

It would probably help but I don’t find it an elegant solution. It’s more of a hack. I’d like to be in control of all the code I’m writing, especially when it’s deployed into prod
Btw I found another solution, also a workaround but IMO less messy. I simply symlinked the fonts into
priv/static/fontsand set$fa-font-path: "/fonts";It worked
