Here is the official bootstrap documentation on the usage of their icons:
I'm trying to figure out how to use the package, if I'm supposed to be using it at all. None of their usage options say anything about the package I was told to install 6 seconds ago.
I just don't understand why the documentation would tell me to install the package if all I was supposed to do was copy the svg's I needed and then uninstall the package.
Is there some way for me to import one into an angular component, in the spirit of actual source control?
EDIT: in response to why I'm not using the following html as recommended in an answer <svg class="bi bi-chevron-right" width="32" height="32" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="currentColor" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M6.646 3.646a.5.5 0 01.708 0l6 6a.5.5 0 010 .708l-6 6a.5.5 0 01-.708-.708L12.293 10 6.646 4.354a.5.5 0 010-.708z" clip-rule="evenodd"/></svg>
is because this doesn't use the bootstrap icon library at all. Pasted into your response for demonstration, and stack overflow doesn't use bootstrap.
Quite old, but since I had the same problem and these answers where not helpful at all, here is the Solution I came up with.
First install the bootstrap icons package (--save adds it to your dependencies as well):
$ npm i bootstrap-icons --save
Then add this line to your styles.css file:
@import "~bootstrap-icons/font/bootstrap-icons.css";
From now on you can use it anywhere in your app, just like intended by the bootstrap documentation:
<i class="bi bi-star-fill"></i>
