Bug: Individual icons are not available as es module .mjs files about font-awesome HOT 5 OPEN

Hi @emattias what do you mean by it's too large? Is a tool refusing to process it?

from font-awesome.

I think that this is somehow related to import maps

https://github.com/WICG/import-maps

So no tools, just the "modern" browser feature to dynamically load only what is needed in pure javascript

No we just dont want to load 2mb to show one icon that is just a few kb :) Its not a technical limit just performance.

@emattias I see! We'll have to think more about this loading mode. Up until this point we haven't entered the world of import maps and loading ESM modules directly in the browser with <script type="module">.

I got it working using to-esm to convert them and then just doing import('http://foo.com/path/to/file.mjs') in the browser and then adding the icon definition with library.add()
