  • Steps:
    I tried to set it as an external library in the app settings.
    I tried to import it in the CSS field of the HTML component
    I tried to create a element that referenced it in the HTML component (as shown in the image).

Is it possible to use this library?

Hello @nl-setech

  1. While it's possible to add an external library to the app, there currently isn't a built-in functionality in Retool to utilize that library within the app effectively.
  2. The import CSS field in the HTML component does not seem to be working as expected.
  3. Additionally, creating an element and referencing it within the HTML component isn't functioning correctly.

Thanks for the reply!

Yeah, I found some additional instructions on the Font Awesome website, and I thought that is way too involved to bother with to just get an up and down arrow icon. So, I simply photoshop'd a couple icons and uploaded to a public location, which can be referenced from my app.
