This is intentional.

My angular-cli project is using font-awesome along with Bootstrap 4. The angular-cli setup instructions include defining the fonts path inside the "addOns" property. Since angular-cli.json no longer has a "addOns" property by default should the property be added back? Should I just add the "addOns" property in my project? Or should I define the font-awesome fonts path inside a different angular-cli.json property?

The instructions (https://github.com/angular/angular-cli#global-library-installation) reference apps not addons. The addons property is reserved for future use.

Closing as @clydin has answered.

Respectfully I think that I need a more specific answer since there are multiple properties under the "apps" property inside angular-cli.json

Here is what I want to do. Have the angular-cli inject both the font-awesome.css and the font-awesome file path that is used for font-awesome icons. I have included the font-awesome.min.css with no problem using the "styles" property under the "apps" property.

"styles": [ "../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css", "../node_modules/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css", "app/css/styles.css" ],

Help me understand where I need to define the font-awesome fonts file path since the "adons" property no longer exists. I understand that the suggestion is to define the value under the "apps" property. Help me understand on what property under the "apps" property.

Here is the old way that I was referencing the font-awesome fonts file path using the "addons" property
"addons": [ "../node_modules/font-awesome/fonts/*.+(otf|eot|svg|ttf|woff|woff2)" ],

The 'addons' field is simply a placeholder. It provides no functionality.
Adding the stylesheet to 'styles' is all that is needed.
See: https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/blob/master/docs/documentation/stories/include-font-awesome.md

@clydin Are you saying the reference to the font files doesn't need to be in the config file at all? @brookhutchinson is asking you about where the addons include of font files should end up in the 'apps' structure. He's not asking about the styles.
