Icons not generated properly

[Fabstilelook]

If I type for example:

= fa_icon('youtube', type: :fab)

The result I get is:

<i type="fab" class="fa fa-youtube"></i>

While, reading from the documentation, the result should be:

<i class="fab fa-youtube"></i>

I also have gem 'font-awesome-rails', '~> 4.4.0' installed. So I wonder if the issue is some conflict with that gem.

@Fabstilelook Hello, definitelly issue comes from conflict with font-awesome-rails, because in this gem I'm using the same method helper name fa_icon. We have tests for the example you mentioned, so I'm sure It's working correctly. Problem is that fa_icon method called is executed from font-awesome-rails gem and from ours so you get icon generated for older version of font.

If you want to use both gems simultaneously, you can try this:
= fab_icon('youtube')
This method is not present in font-awesome-rails gem so It should call right method from this gem and you can ommit type specification. Check Readme for use far, fas, fab helper methods.

Hope this helps.

@tomkra I'm also using the gem rails_admin and it seems it has a dependency with font-awesome-rails that's why I would like to keep them both. I've tried your suggestion:

= fab_icon('youtube')

but this still prints out:

<i type="fab" class="fa fa-youtube"></i>

instead of:

<i class="fab fa-youtube"></i>

@Fabstilelook I've tried use both gems simultaneously and I had difficulties you've described. So I've added new fa5_icon and fa5_stacked_icon method aliases.

Please update to last version of gem to 0.7.0. After that you will be able to use font awesome 5 icons by calling these methods. Since they are not present in original font-awesome-rails gem, they will be called from right gem and proper method icon generator will be used.

Please try this solution and let me know, if it worked.
