How can I use FontAwesome Pro using Libman in Visual Studio?

I have access to the following, cdnjs, jsdelivr and unpkg, also file system, but the latter is not ideal.

Where would I put the pro licence key? Is this even supported?

  • Were you able to figure it out? I'm looking to do the same thing. – Justin May 22 '20 at 12:02

    Nope it seems to be impossible. The way I see it, there are 2 options, 1. as the answer stated below from Jimmy, 2. Do what I did and download the files as if you were self hosting, then use the FileSystem provider in LibMan. Downside of option 2 is that upgrading packages are not as simple as option 1 would be. – Shane van Wyk May 27 '20 at 03:28

LibMan doesn't use NPM registries directly (as it's using the CDNs mentioned in your question), so it doesn't have a way to authenticate and download the FontAwesome Pro assets.

You could use an NPM based package manager (NPM, Yarn, etc) and configure it as documented here to get the FontAwesome packages, then you could use the LibMan filesystem provider to place the assets where you want them within your project.
