Nuxt 3 - Content duplicated by using font-awesome-icon

[thibault60000]

Describe the bug
When I used the font-awesome-icon tag, my page content is duplicated

(in app.vue for example)

	<NuxtLayout>
		<NuxtLoadingIndicator />
		<h1> app.vue </h1>
		<font-awesome-icon class="text-active h-8" icon="fa-solid fa-user-secret" />

		<NuxtPage />
	</NuxtLayout>

My layouts/default.vue file

    <p class="bg-active text-white w-fit ">HEADER </p>
		<main>
			<slot />
		</main>
     <p class="bg-active text-white w-fit ">FOOTER</p>

I used fontawesome.js plugin

import { library, config } from '@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core'
import { FontAwesomeIcon } from '@fortawesome/vue-fontawesome'

import { fas } from '@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons'

config.autoAddCss = false

library.add(fas)

export default defineNuxtPlugin(nuxtApp => {
	nuxtApp.vueApp.component('font-awesome-icon', FontAwesomeIcon, {})
})

I import '@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core/styles.css' on the css property of defineNuxtconfig

And this into my package.json dependencies

"@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core": "^6.2.1",
"@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons": "^6.2.1",
"@fortawesome/vue-fontawesome": "^3.0.3",

I need to use Icon without duplicate 👎
Sorry I don't have codesandbox
It's on Chrome.

I used lodash, moment, primevue, tailwind, it's for a big starter project

Issue with <font-awesome-icon />

If I remove the <font-awesome-icon /> tag :

It's duplicated only for the elements after the <font-awesome-icon /> tag

For example, If my tag is on the end of my app.vue

        <NuxtLayout>
		<NuxtLoadingIndicator />
		<h1> app.vue </h1>

		<NuxtPage />
		<font-awesome-icon class="text-active h-8" icon="fa-solid fa-user-secret" />
	</NuxtLayout>

Nothing is duplicated

I can confirm this is happening on latest build of Nuxt 3 (edge)

Replacing the font-awesome-icon component seems to make the problem disappear. This only began happening after Nuxt 3.1

Thanks for anwser
I don't understand, what is the best solution to solve my issue ? 😔

It's my dependencies

Meant that replacing the component "fixes" the issue, but obviously disables font awesome.

Use <i class="fad fa-dove" /> instead fix the issue.. :/

I'm also having this issue. As a temporary fix I've wrapped the icon with <client-only></client-only>.

[ItzExotical]

Same issue. Any updates on when this will be fixed in the package? Quite annoying.

Hey all, I've been using antfu's unplugin-icons library which supports fontawesome icons.
It has worked flawlessly for me with SSR without the need for <client-only></client-only>.

Until this issue is fixed, using unplugin-icons works super well (and honestly don't know whether I'll ever go back to vue-fontawesome).

I started using https://github.com/nuxt-modules/icon kinda embarrassing that a paid product pays no attention to simple issues like this. I'll probably not use it again.

I think the build is broken.

For me everything was working after I created a new component FontAwesomeIcon.vue with this content:

<script>
import FontAwesomeIcon from '@fortawesome/vue-fontawesome/src/components/FontAwesomeIcon'
export default FontAwesomeIcon;
</script>

and installed the required "humps" dependency.

I'm experiencing the same issue in Nuxt 3.4 (and was also experiencing it before I upgraded from Nuxt 3.0.0-rc4).

It seems to only occur when the FontAwesomeIcon is placed inside of an <a>, <NuxtLink> or <RouterLink> tag. While this is happening, I receive plenty of the following messages in the server log:

Could not find one or more icon(s) { prefix: 'fas', iconName: 'external-link-alt' } {}
Could not find one or more icon(s) { prefix: 'fas', iconName: 'check' } {}    

Despite these warnings, the icon does generate correctly on the client side.

The solution by @mkoe-unitb is working as a fix for me (for both the duplication and all the related warning messages)

Thank you, this fixed the Hydration mismatch error and the "Could not find one or more icons..." console error.

@jasonlundien Anything new on this issue ?

[codeofsumit]

I can confirm that the fix of creating a new component + installing humps works to remove the hydration warning.

Hopefully, this will be fixed in the corresponding libraries (nuxt or fontawesome)

[Trevor-143]

I had the same issue and what worked for me is i wrapped the icon on its own div

[Trevor-143]

this is what worked <li> <div><font-awesome-icon :icon="['fas', 'circle-check']" /></div>Must have license</li>
