When i build my project i got error: Cannot find module '@fortawesome/react-fontawesome'. Did you mean to set the 'moduleResolution' option to 'node', or to add aliases to the 'paths' option?

Correct tsconfig.json

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es6",
    "removeComments": false,
    "jsx": "react",
    "moduleResolution": "node"
  },
  "include": [
    "src"
  ]
}

Try this is

npm i --save @fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core @fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons @fortawesome/react-fontawesome

The error provides a hint.

You need to set moduleResolution to "node" in your tsconfig.json file so that the scoped modules can be resolved.

This property defaults to "classic" unless module is set to "commonjs".
