# Frequently asked questions | ||
|
||
## Should I use this library? | ||
|
||
There are multiple ways to add FontAwesome icons to your Angular project, to name a few: | ||
|
||
1. An Angular component which aims to offer the best Angular experience: `ng add`, type checking, etc. | ||
2. FontAwesome SVG Core which Angular component uses under the hood. It is more flexible in some situations, but does | ||
not offer the above features. | ||
3. FontAwesome Free/Pro. | ||
4. [Font Awesome Kits](https://fontawesome.com/kits). | ||
|
||
Depending on your needs, you may want to use this library or another method. | ||
|
||
For an average Angular project we recommend this library. It would feel the most natural. If occasionally you need more | ||
flexibility, it can be achieved | ||
following [this guide](https://github.com/FortAwesome/angular-fontawesome/blob/master/docs/guide/advanced-uses.md#replace-i-tags-with-icons-in-the-arbitrary-html). | ||
|
||
For a project where most of the icons are dynamic (e.g. a CMS project) and come in `<i>` form, you may have better luck | ||
to give up on type-checking and go with FontAwesome SVG Core or FontAwesome Free/Pro (in particular if you need some | ||
rarely used features only available to Web Fonts). | ||
|
||
If you're a Pro-user, you can also use the [Font Awesome Kits](https://fontawesome.com/kits) (specifically Kit NPM | ||
packages) with this library. This way you reduce the footprint of the icons in the `node_modules`, reduce work spent on | ||
removing unused icons from the bundle and get a convenient way to manage your custom icons. However, it will come with | ||
the cost of managing icons separately from the codebase. |
