Fortawesome: treeshaking behavior not working

[ocBruno]

🐛 Bug Report

After looking at the size of the build and the config I noticed the whole free-solid-svg-icons library was being imported.

To reproduce

yarn clone github.com/hospitalrun/components
view index.tsx file

This bug is related to following issue as it is taking up space in the hospitalrun build

HospitalRun/hospitalrun-frontend#1808

Expected behavior

Only import necessary icons

• node version: 12.16.0
• os: Windows

Thanks for the reference, this is what I was using to debug but I attempted various methods with no success and stopped at the custom build configs. Not sure if anyone with rollup experience wants to tackle this..

A group of students from a university course was hoping to take this on for an open-source assignment, could we take this on?

@ocBruno I'd like to work on this issue
